Determination
The message received from your National Convention brought us much happiness, particularly when we learned of the spirit of determination generated among those present during their purposeful deliberations on the exigencies of the Cause. We have every confidence that, as the friends press forward with even greater resolve and clarity of vision, they will attract numerous souls who share their aspiration to contribute to the spiritual and social well-being of their society. They must now work to sustain and expand what has been accomplished, bolstered by the increasing engagement of believers of all ages. We will supplicate at the Sacred Threshold that their efforts may attract the heavenly confirmations of the Best Beloved of the worlds.

Quote of the Day
Istijlal 14 Nur 183 B.E.
Looking back upon those sullen days of my retirement, bitter with feelings of anxiety and gloom, I can recall with appreciation and gratitude those unmistakable evidences of your affection and steadfast zeal which I have received from time to time, and which have served to relieve in no small measure the burden that weighed so heavily upon my heart.
