I could not find it. Not even sure if it was Arabic or Persian.. Thanks! Dear Omid, could you kindly point out where in the document from the Baha’i Library this particular prayer appears.

Or perhaps it was the broader indignity that majority Muslim societies in the Middle East had been subjected to at the hands of European imperialism. Whatever may have prompted it, there is no doubting the fact that these words of longing remain as relevant today in 2009 as they were in 1882. I am deeply moved to read that Baha'is, who continue to face deplorable abuses and limitations in Iran and Egypt are praying for Muslims and other oppressed peoples.
