Recognition of Bahá’u’lláh
By recognizing Bahá’u’lláh as the Revealer of the Word of God for today and wholeheartedly following His exhortations and counsels, the soul becomes freed from the fetters of self and material attachments. It is then that the individual can understand the purpose of life. And it is then that he can become truly united with his fellow believers.
- Adib Taherzadeh, The Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh v 4, p. 193
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.
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 350
