It is our duty to redeem as many of our fellow men as we possibly can, whose hearts are enlightened, before some great catastrophe overtakes them, in which they will either be hopelessly swallowed up or come out purified and strengthened, and ready to serve. The more believers there are to stand forth as beacons in the darkness whenever that time does come, the better; hence the supreme importance of the teaching work at this time.

Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 12 Qudrat 182 B.E.
But after I leave, some people may arise in Opposition, heaping persecutions upon you in their bitterness . . . Rest ye in the assurance of firmness. Be well poised and serene, remembering that this is only as the harmless twittering of sparrows and that it will soon pass away.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Promulgation of Universal Peace, pp. 428-430
