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
Istijlal 19 Sultan 182 B.E.
With reference to your question whether those foods which have been flavoured with alcoholic liquors such as brandy, rum, etc., should be classified under the same category as the intoxicating drinks, and consequently be avoided by believers, the Guardian wishes all the friends to know that such food, or beverages, are strictly prohibited.
