Whenever My laws appear like the sun in the heaven of Mine utterance, they must be faithfully obeyed by all.
What are the laws in the Bahá’í Faith?
The Bahá'í teachings include laws and prescriptions for the spiritual and moral life of the individual and for the governance and development of society. The laws for one’s personal life include, among others, daily prayer, observance of a period of fasting, the education of children, abstention from partisan politics, and the obligation to engage in a trade or profession. Other moral and ethical principles include prohibitions against backbiting, extramarital sex, gambling, and the nonmedical use of alcohol or drugs. Furthermore, Bahá'u'lláh delineated principles and institutions designed to set a pattern for the effective functioning of a unified society and the material well-being of the world’s peoples.Links
