Daily Reflection – 1 Sharaf (Honour)

Morning:

“God’s purpose is none other than to usher in, in ways He alone can bring about, and the full significance of which He alone can fathom, the Great, the Golden Age of a long-divided, a long-afflicted humanity.Its present state, indeed even its immediate future, is dark, distressingly dark.

(Shoghi Effendi, The Promised Day is Come, p. 115 )

”Render thanks unto Him Who is the Desire of all worlds for having invested thee with such high honor. Erelong the world and all that is therein shall be as a thing forgotten, and all honor shall belong to the loved ones of thy Lord, the All-Glorious, the Most Bountiful. ”

(Bahá’u’lláh / CXL: “O Muḥammad-‘Alí! Great is the blessedness…”)
