Bahá’í Quotes

Apology

Perhaps the greatest test Bahá’ís are ever subjected to is from each other; but for the sake of the Master they should be ever ready to overlook each other's mistakes, apologize for harsh words they have uttered, forgive and forget. He strongly recommends to you this course of action.

Quote of the Day

Istiqlal 10 Rahmat 183 B.E.
