Bahá’í Quotes

Awaken

I [Juliet Thompson] had two more private talks with our Lord that morning. In the second, something I said brought forth this answer: "The child does not realize the parents' love, but when it becomes mature it knows." He said this looking out of the window and His face was very sad. "Can the creature," I asked, "ever know the Love of the Creator?""Yes. If not in this world, then in the next, as a sleeper wakens."

Quote of the Day

Fidal 17 Sultan 182 B.E.

Under no circumstances should Bahá’ís drink. It is unambiguously forbidden in the Tablet of Bahá’u’lláh, that there is no excuse for them even touching it in the form of a toast, or in a burning plum pudding; in fact, in any way.
