- Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 57
By my life, you are created for love and affection and not for hatred and obstinacy.

- Bahá’í Scriptures, p. 407
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 1 Ilm 183 B.E.
If thou remainest, at the moment of death, a disbeliever in the signs of thy Lord thou shalt surely enter the gates of hell, and none of the deeds thy hands have wrought will profit thee, nor shalt thou find a patron nor anyone to plead for thee.
