O thou assured soul, thou maidservant of God...! Be not
grieved at the death of thy respected husband. He hath, verily, attained the
meeting of his Lord at the seat of Truth in the presence of the potent King. Do
not suppose that thou hast lost him. The veil shall be lifted and thou shalt
behold his face illumined in the Supreme Concourse. Just as God, the Exalted,
hath said, ‘Him will we surely quicken to a happy life.’ Supreme importance
should be attached, therefore, not to this first creation but rather to the
future life.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
