| | Sacred text - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many religions and spiritual movements believe that their sacred texts (or scriptures) are the "Word of God", often feeling that the texts are wholly divine or spiritually inspired in origin. | | | Even non-believers often capitalize the names of sacred scriptures as a mark of respect or tradition. | | | Most religions promulgate policies defining the limits of the sacred texts and controlling or forbidding changes and additions. |

| | Sacred Text |
| | The term "sacred" refers to all manners of religious beliefs and not only to the practices of the Judeo-Christian teachings. | | | Such an exclusion has its parallel the study of art without any paintings related to the various religions of the world, the study of literature without mention of the bible, or the study of architecture without reference to the great temples and cathedrals of the world. | | | To exclude from a public school curriculum all choral music which has religious meaning associated with the text is to severely limit the possibilities of teaching for artistic understanding and responsiveness. |

| | Considerations in Setting Sacred Text to Music for the Mashriqu'l-Adhkar |
| | There are three areas of devotional song associated with the Mashriqu'l- Adhkar: sacred text, hymns, and dhikr. | | | In the various cultures in which Bahá'u'lláh resided throughout his life to 'read' scripture was, in Western terms, to sing the text and it was taken for granted that on most occasions devotional 'reading' involved singing. | | | To be sure, the lengths to which religious 'non-music' may go before seeming to be unholy secular 'music' vary from region to region and sect to sect, but nowhere would the central devotional practices of reading the Qur'an and prayers be considered 'music'. |

| | Defining the Personal Sacred Text |
| | Although this is a sacred text you are making solely for yourself, there may be a time, during or after its creation, that you decide to share some or all of it with a trusted friend or family member. | | | Over the years as you grow and change, your sacred text, whether you intend it or not, will reflect the dynamic nature of your evolving beliefs and spiritual ideals. | | | When you hold your sacred text up to a mirror, you want to see your own reflection, not the "should," "ought," or "must" interpretations of anyone else. |
