Disobedience
Man has opposed the will of God and acted in opposition to the plan of God. Therefore, from the beginning of history to the present time the world of humanity has had no lasting rest; warfare and strife have continuously prevailed, and hearts have manifested hatred toward each other.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 297-298
Quote of the Day
Jamal 10 Mulk 182 B.E.
The Bahá’ís are free to greet each other with Allah'u'Abhá when they meet, if they want to, but they should avoid anything which to outsiders, in a western country, might seem like some strange oriental password. We must be very firm on principles and laws, but very normal and natural in our ways, so as to attract strangers!
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 266
