Grieve not, O House of God, [Baghdad House] if the veil of
thy sanctity be rent asunder by the infidels. God hath, in the world of
creation, adorned thee with the jewel of His remembrance. Such an ornament no
man can, at any time, profane. Towards thee the eyes of thy Lord shall, under
all conditions, remain directed. He, verily, will incline His ear to the prayer
of every one that visiteth thee, who will circle around thee, and calleth upon
Him in thy name. He, in truth, is the Forgiving, the All-Merciful.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
