离世者
(此祷文只用于15岁以上的逝世者。“这是唯一可以集体吟咏的祷文。祈祷时，由一名教友朗诵，其他教友必须站立。诵读时不必面朝吉勃勒。”——亚格达斯经。 )
我的上天啊，这是祢的仆役和祢的仆役之子，他相信于祢和祢的征兆，正把他的脸朝向祢，除了祢完全不作他想。诚然，祢是所有慈悲者之中的最慈悲者。
啊！祢宽恕人的罪过，隐藏人的缺点的上天，请以符合祢恩惠之天堂及祢慈悲之海洋的方式对待他，接受他进入祢置于人世和天堂的基础之前、超凡慈悲之畛域。除了祢别无上天，祢是永远宽恕的、最慷慨的上天。
（接下来，念6声“阿拉欧阿帕哈”，然后把下面的句子各朗诵19遍。）
诚然，我们都崇拜上天。
诚然，我们都向上天鞠躬。
诚然，我们都敬奉上天。
诚然，我们都感谢上天。
诚然，我们都在上天里坚忍。
（如果死者是女性，就说：“这个相信祢和祢的征兆的女仆和女仆之女。”）
——巴哈欧拉
Prayer for the dead
(The Prayer for the Dead is the only Bahá’í obligatory prayer that is to be recited in congregation; it is to be recited by one believer while all present stand in silence. Bahá’u’lláh has clarified that this prayer is required only when the deceased is over the age of fifteen, that its recital must precede interment, and that there is no requirement to face the Qiblih during its recitation. “Alláh-u-Abhá” is said once; then the first of the six verses is recited nineteen times. Then “Alláh-u-Abhá” is said again, followed by the second verse, which is recited nineteen times, and so on.)
O my God! This is Thy servant and the son of Thy servant who hath believed in Thee and in Thy signs, and set his face towards Thee, wholly detached from all except Thee. Thou art, verily, of those who show mercy the most merciful.
Deal with him, O Thou Who forgivest the sins of men and concealest their faults, as beseemeth the heaven of Thy bounty and the ocean of Thy grace. Grant him admission within the precincts of Thy transcendent mercy that was before the foundation of earth and heaven. There is no God but Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous.
Let him, then, repeat six times the greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá,” and then repeat nineteen times each of the following verses：
We all, verily, worship God.
We all, verily, bow down before God.
We all, verily, are devoted unto God.
We all, verily, give praise unto God.
We all, verily, yield thanks unto God.
We all, verily, are patient in God.
(If the dead be a woman, let him say： This is Thy handmaiden and the daughter of Thy handmaiden, etc...)
Bahá’u’lláh
