Dignity
Dignity before God depends, not on sex, but on purity and luminosity of heart.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 162
Every dignity shall vanish away save the glory under the shadow of the Word of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 128
Quote of the Day
Jalal 9 Ilm 183 B.E.
As to the question regarding the soul of a murderer, and what his punishment would be, the answer given was that the murderer must expiate his crime: that is, if they put the murderer to death, his death is his atonement for his crime, and following the death, God in His justice will impose no second penalty upon him, for divine justice would not allow this.
