Now the day has arrived in which the edifice of God, the
divine sanctuary, the spiritual temple, shall be erected in America! I entreat
God to assist the confirmed believers in accomplishing this great service and
with entire zeal to rear this mighty structure which shall be renowned
throughout the world. The support of God will be with those believers in that
district that they may be successful in their undertaking, for the Cause is
great and great; because this is the first Mashriqu’l-Adhkar in that country
and from it the praise of God shall ascend to the Kingdom of Mystery and the
tumult of His exaltation and greetings from the whole world shall be heard!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
