Protect yourselves with utmost vigilance, lest you be entrapped in the snare of deception and fraud.

Quote of the Day
Fidal 8 Izzat 183 B.E.
The Assemblies should evidence not even the least trace of dictatorial assertiveness, but should remember that most of the sins of the believers are the signs of immaturity. These friends should be nursed and assisted into a fuller understanding of their responsibilities as Bahá’ís and encouraged to conduct themselves in a Bahá’í manner.
