Determination
The message received from your National Convention brought us much happiness, particularly when we learned of the spirit of determination generated among those present during their purposeful deliberations on the exigencies of the Cause. We have every confidence that, as the friends press forward with even greater resolve and clarity of vision, they will attract numerous souls who share their aspiration to contribute to the spiritual and social well-being of their society. They must now work to sustain and expand what has been accomplished, bolstered by the increasing engagement of believers of all ages. We will supplicate at the Sacred Threshold that their efforts may attract the heavenly confirmations of the Best Beloved of the worlds.

Quote of the Day
Kamal 18 Mashiyyat 182 B.E.
Be sensitive for the possibility of prior exposure to severe violence, such as a personal or family history of trauma from torture, mutilation, war atrocities, gang rape, arson, bombings, lynchings, or other extreme forms of violence. Prior exposure to other forms of violence may exacerbate the effects of domestic violence.
