Lawh-i-Qad-Ihtaraqa'l-Mukhlisun better known as the Fire Tablet, is an Arabic tablet written by Bahá'u'lláh, founder of the Bahá'í Faith in 'Akká in 1871.^[1] Bahá'u'lláh wrote the tablet in response to questions by a Bahá'í believer from Iran.^[1] The authorized English translation was done in 1980 by Habib Taherzadeh and a Committee at the Bahá'í World Centre.

The tablet is written in rhyming verse, has the form of a conversation between Bahá'u'lláh and God, and reflects the sufferings of Bahá'u'lláh.^[2] Bahá'ís often recite this tablet in times of difficulty.^[1]
