Naught hath been ordained by the finger of His decree for
His loved ones except that which is profitable unto them. We beseech Him to
graciously enable them to show forth patience and fortitude that haply trials
and ordeals might not deflect them from the path of God, the Almighty, the
All-Knowing.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in compilation: ‘Fire and Light’, prepared by the
Research Department of the Universal House of Justice; The Baha’i World
1979-1983)
