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
Fidal 11 Baha 183 B.E.
The prospect of a believer's displaying an attitude of hostility, when being interviewed by a Spiritual Assembly or its representatives who are seeking to determine the facts of a matter, is abhorrent. All believers are strongly enjoined to have the utmost respect for the Assemblies, to cooperate fully with them, and to support their decisions.
