Bahá'ís have the bounty
of having the prayers revealed by the Manifestations of God, the Báb and
Bahá'u'lláh, as well as by 'Abdu'l-Bahá, which guide us in our devotions, but
there is no prohibition of the reading of prayers or selections from the Sacred
Writings of other religions. However, the Guardian stated, "It would be
wiser for the Bahá'ís to use the meditations given by Bahá'u'lláh and not use
any set form of meditation given by someone else." (14 September 1982,
written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer;
Compilation ‘Selected Guidance concerning Devotional Gatherings)
