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
Fidal 4 Kamal 183 B.E.
If we but turn our gaze to the high qualifications of the members of Bahá’í Assemblies . . . we are filled with feelings of unworthiness and dismay, and would feel truly disheartened but for the comforting thought that if we rise to play nobly our part every deficiency in our lives will be more than compensated by the all-conquering spirit of His grace and power.
Shoghi Effendi – Bahá’í Administration, p. 88
