Bahá’í Quotes

Heroes

And remind them that they are the illumined souls envisioned by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in His prayer:  "Heroes are they, O my Lord, lead them to the field of battle.  Guides are they, make them to speak out with arguments and proofs.  Ministering servants are they, cause them to pass round the cup that brimmeth with the wine of certitude.  O my God, make them to be songsters that carol in fair gardens, make them lions that couch in the thickets, whales that plunge in the vasty deep.

Quote of the Day

Istijlal 10 Sharaf 182 B.E.

If adversity befall thee not in My path, how canst thou walk in the ways of them that are content with My pleasure? If trials afflict thee not in thy longing to meet Me, how wilt thou attain the light in thy love for My beauty?
