Prayer Beads
In the matter of the distribution and use of prayer beads, in this and other matter of secondary importance he does not wish that any hard and fast rules to be set up. The believers should not be required to use prayer beads nor should they be prevented from doing so, as the Teachings do not contain any specific instructions on the subject.

Quote of the Day
Kamal 18 Mashiyyat 182 B.E.
Be sensitive for the possibility of prior exposure to severe violence, such as a personal or family history of trauma from torture, mutilation, war atrocities, gang rape, arson, bombings, lynchings, or other extreme forms of violence. Prior exposure to other forms of violence may exacerbate the effects of domestic violence.
