Welcome to this episode of our Bahá’í prayer podcast, dedicated to honoring the souls of the departed.
In the Bahá’í teachings, death is not an end but a sacred transition. The physical body returns to the earth, while the soul—our true essence—continues its journey in the spiritual realms of God. As Bahá’u’lláh assures us, the soul “will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of God”
This journey is one of growth, love, and nearness to the Divine. As ‘Abdu’l-Bahá beautifully expressed, “To hold that the spirit is annihilated upon the death of the body is to imagine that a bird imprisoned in a cage would perish if the cage were to be broken”.
In this episode, we will reflect on prayers and writings that illuminate the soul’s eternal voyage and offer solace to those of us who remain. May these sacred words bring comfort and a deeper understanding of the boundless mercy and love that await every soul in the next world.
