Pleasure

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
