Retribution
O Ye Peoples of the World! Know verily that an unforeseen calamity is following you and that grievous retribution awaiteth you.

Quote of the Day
Jalal 16 Mulk 182 B.E.
With regard to the things of the spirit they are as lifeless as a stone; nor do they wish to be otherwise . . . But man's ambition should soar above this -- he should ever look higher than himself, ever upward and onward, until through the Mercy of God he may come to the Kingdom of Heaven.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Paris Talks, p. 71
