O ye beloved of the Lord! Regard ye not the tyranny and
iniquity of the ignorant. Resist oppression with justice, oppose tyranny with
equity, and respond to bloodthirstiness with loving-kindness. Be the
well-wishers of the advancement of Persia and its people and strive to promote
civilization for all humanity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Quoted by the Universal House of
Justice in a letter dated 8 May 2015 addressed to the Baha’is of Iran)
