Prayer is a vital part of Bahá’í spiritual life.

Bahá’ís believe that prayer is more than making requests to God; it’s more like a conversation with God in contrast to meditation, which is like a conversation with one’s inner spirit.

So they believe that it is not the language which is important, but rather the attitude of mind in which prayer is made.

Bahá’u’lláh said that brief and joyful prayer was better than long but wearying prayer.
