The Purpose of the one true God, exalted be His glory, in
revealing Himself unto men is to lay bare those gems that lie hidden within the
mine of their true and inmost selves.
- Baha'u'llah(Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah)
If… a person setteth about speaking well of another, opening
his lips to praise another, he will touch an answering chord in his hearers and
they will be stirred up by the breathings of God.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha ('Selections
from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha’)
The Obligatory Prayers are
binding inasmuch as they are conducive to humility and submissiveness, to
setting one's face towards God and expressing devotion to Him.

Obligatory Prayer and Fasting’, prepared by the Research Department of the
Universal House of Justice; The American Baha’i September 2000)
