Bahá’í Quotes

Abbreviations

You have expressed concern at the use of abbreviations in an email discussion group when referring to the Universal House of Justice. In addressing the institutions of the Faith, or when referring to them, it would be more fitting to use the full name or title, rather than abbreviations. Beyond this, however, the House of Justice does not wish to go, and urges the friends not to make an issue of the matter.

Quote of the Day

Kamal 19 Jalal 183 B.E.

Sin is the state of man in the world of the baser nature, for in nature exist defects such as injustice, tyranny, hatred, hostility, strife: these are characteristics of the lower plane of nature. These are the sins of the world, the fruits of the tree from which Adam did eat.
