Context

Quote of the Day
Jamal 19 Rahmat 183 B.E.
Though single-handed, and no matter how great the apathy of the people around you may be, you should have faith that the hosts of the Kingdom are on your side, and that through their help you are bound to overcome the forces of darkness that are facing the Cause of God. Persevere, be happy and confident, therefore.
Shoghi Effendi – Quickeners of Mankind, p. 50
