Afflictions
Should one who is in affliction or grief read this Tablet with absolute sincerity, God will dispel his sadness, solve his difficulties and remove his afflictions.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Tablet of Ahmad, Bahá’í Prayers, p. 211
Now ye, as well, must certainly become my partners to some slight degree, and accept your share of tests and sorrows. But these episodes shall pass away, while that abiding glory and eternal life shall remain unchanged forever. Moreover, these afflictions shall be the cause of great advancement.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 238-239
Quote of the Day
Fidal 14 Rahmat 183 B.E.

Shoghi Effendi – Bahá’í Administration, p. 101
