A Tablet in the Bahá’í Faith refers to a separate piece of divinely revealed scripture. The term is used to denote the writings revealed by Bahá’u’lláh, the Báb, and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, but more specifically those items of Scripture which are not, in themselves, sufficiently lengthy to be termed a "Book". In other words, a letter or extended letter to an individual or Bahá'í community would be termed a "Tablet", but a piece of work published under separate cover in recent times would not. Clearly, those items termed "Kitáb" by the Pen of Glory Himself are not considered as Tablets. The Persian term for "Tablet" is "Lawh".
