Lawh-i-Qad-Ihtaraqa'l-Mukhlisun, better known as the Fire Tablet, is a tablet written in Arabic by Baháʼu'lláh, founder of the Baháʼí Faith, in Akká in 1871.^[1] Baháʼu'lláh wrote the tablet in response to questions by a Baháʼí believer from Iran.^[1] The authorized English translation was done in 1980 by Adib Taherzadeh and a Committee at the Baháʼí World Centre.

The tablet is written in rhyming verse, has the form of a conversation between Baháʼu'lláh and God, and reflects the sufferings of Baháʼu'lláh.^[2] Baháʼís often recite this tablet in times of difficulty.^[1]
