Tablets of Visitation
___________________
Tablets or prayers to be recited when visiting a shrine or burial site.
One Tablet of Visitation is recited particularly when visiting the Shrines of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh or at observances commemorating the Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh and the Martyrdom of the Báb.1 The Tablet is actually a compilation of passages chosen by Nabíl-i-A'ẓam at the instruction of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and includes selections from Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh to several individuals, including Khádijih-Bagum, the wife of the Báb.
A second Tablet of Visitation is a prayer revealed by 'Abdu'l-Bahá which is recited at His Shrine, on the anniversary His Ascension and also used in private prayer.2
The Báb, Bahá'u'lláh and 'Abdu'l-Bahá all revealed Tablets of Visitation to be read at the graves of a number of prominent believers.
[BD 234]
