Súriy-i-Qadír

Súriy-i-Qadír, provisionally translated as Súrih of the Omnipotent, is a Tablet revealed by Bahá'u'lláh. It has not yet been officially translated, but a provisional translation exists.

The topic of the Tablet has been described as Bahá'u'lláh releasing the power of Spirit into the world for the believers.

In the introduction to his provisional translation Stephen Lambden writes that the Tablet covers the theme of the theophany and the significance of the human manifestation of the Name of God the Omnipotent. Adib Taherzadeh writes that the Tablet notes that those who recognize the manifestation of the Name within themselves will be able to accomplish whatever they wish, but cautions that they must be wary of pride and vainglory, alluding to Mírzá Yahyá.

Taherzadeh places the Revelation of the Tablet within the Baghdad period, while Lambden places it in the Adrianople period. Lambden notes that it was likely revealed for a Babi named al-Qadir.
