Heaven and Hell
Heaven and hell are conditions within our own beings.
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 519
But the paradise and hell of existence are found in all the worlds of God, whether in this world or in the spiritual heavenly worlds.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 323
Think ye of love and good fellowship as the delights of heaven, think ye of hostility and hatred as the torments of hell.

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.
