Recount
Blessed is the soul which, at the hour of its separation from the body, is sanctified from the vain imaginings of the peoples of the world . . . The Maids of Heaven, inmates of the loftiest mansions, will circle around it, and the Prophets of God and His chosen ones will seek its companionship. With them that soul will freely converse, and will recount unto them that which it hath been made to endure in the path of God, the Lord of all worlds.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 155
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 9 Asma 183 B.E.
And We ask Him to make this dark calamity a buckler for the body of His saints, and to protect them thereby from sharp swords and piercing blades. Through affliction hath His light shone and His praise been bright unceasingly: this hath been His method through past ages and bygone times.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – A Traveller's Narrative, p. 80
