| The Seven Valleys and The Four Valleys |
|
| Redirected from: The Four Valleys |
|
| Two mystical works revealed by Bahá'u'lláh in Bag̲h̲dád after He returned from Sulaymáníyyih. |
| The Seven Valleys was written to answer the questions of S̲h̲ayk̲h̲ Muḥyí'd-Dín, a Ṣúfí. It describes the seven stages of the journey of the soul towards God, as set forth by the 12th-century Ṣúfí poet 'Aṭṭár in his poem 'Language of the Birds'. Bahá'u'lláh speaks of these stages as the valleys of Search, Love, Knowledge, Unity, Contentment, Wonderment, and True Poverty and Absolute Nothingness. |
| The Four Valleys was written to S̲h̲ayk̲h̲ 'Abdu'r-Raḥmán of Karkúk who had become an admirer of Bahá'u'lláh in Sulaymáníyyih. This work also describes in mystical language the journey towards the divine goal, in four stages or valleys. |
