Insanity
Ameen, son of Khan's younger sister Hamideh, a direct descendant of the old historian, was not of a lineage to be envied, for it was said that the posterity of that ancestor were under the curse of insanity because of his slanderous attacks on the Faith of the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh.
- Marzieh Gail, Arches of the Years, p. 66
With the love of God all sciences are accepted and beloved, but without it, are fruitless; nay, rather the cause of insanity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 366
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 9 Asma 183 B.E.
And We ask Him to make this dark calamity a buckler for the body of His saints, and to protect them thereby from sharp swords and piercing blades. Through affliction hath His light shone and His praise been bright unceasingly: this hath been His method through past ages and bygone times.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – A Traveller's Narrative, p. 80
