As to the subject of babes and infants and weak ones who are
afflicted by the hands of oppressors: This contains great wisdom and this
subject is of paramount importance. In brief, for those souls there is a
recompense in another world and many details are connected with this matter.
For those souls that suffering is the greatest mercy of God. Verily that mercy
of the Lord is far better and preferable to all the comfort of this world and
the growth and development of this place of mortality. If it be the will of
God, when thou shalt be present this will be explained in detail by word of
mouth. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
