I am thinking today of the 7 souls, 7 adults, men and women, who were arrested in Iran one year ago, just for being members of the Baha’i Faith. There is no reason for it but abuse, ignorance and persecution of the loved ones of God. They lead exemplary lives. Baha’is do not partake in politics. We believe in the unity of humankind, equality of women and men, education for all. These are the crimes of humanity in today’s world. I would say in today’s Iran, but the Bahai’s are used to severe persecution in their homeland ever since it began there in 1844. God love them, and God give them strength and bestowals of His mercy and grace, to withstand this injustice.
‘O Son of Spirit! The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbour. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behoveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes.’
(Baha’u’llah, Book of “The Hidden Words”)
