Bahá’í Quotes

Hopelessness

Things have come to such a pass that hope hath well nigh been banished from the hearts of Thy chosen ones, and the breaths of despair are ready to seize them, by reason of what hath befallen them in Thy days.

- Bahá’u’lláh, Prayers and Meditations by Bahá’u’lláh, p. 335-336

Quote of the Day

Jamal 1 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.

After the formation of the National Spiritual Assembly, laxity and negligence in the holding of its meetings, in the coming together of its nine members, and in the discharge of its sacred responsibilities, will have undesirable repercussions in the community, will weaken and disgrace the Cause, will create chaos and confusion, and will cause the Faith to decline and retrogress.
