The fundamental purpose of all religions is to bring man nearer to God, and to change his character, which is of the utmost importance. Too much emphasis is often laid on the social and economic aspects of the Teachings; but the moral aspect cannot be overemphasized. (Shoghi Effendi, September 6, 1946)


Believers are urged not to get discouraged, because all the trials are temporary and will pass away, an as the love for God grows, we should concentrate on the constructive work of exemplifying the Faith. All religions are in perfect harmony with one another, they contain universal truth with do not change! One of them is peace.
