Bahá’í Quotes

Abbreviations

You have expressed concern at the use of abbreviations in an email discussion group when referring to the Universal House of Justice. In addressing the institutions of the Faith, or when referring to them, it would be more fitting to use the full name or title, rather than abbreviations. Beyond this, however, the House of Justice does not wish to go, and urges the friends not to make an issue of the matter.

Quote of the Day

Kamal 15 Qudrat 182 B.E.

You must withstand them with the utmost love and kindness; consider their oppression and persecution as the caprice of children, and do not give any importance to whatever they do. For at the end the illumination of the Kingdom will overwhelm the darkness of the world and the exaltation and grandeur of your station will become apparent and manifest . . . Rest ye assured.
