...the Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh, the interpretations of the Centre of His Covenant, the messages of Shoghi Effendi, and the continuing guidance of the Universal House of Justice contain a vast breadth of advice to the believers with regard to different aspects of their collective and individual lives on this planet. If the friends study the Writings carefully, heed the commandments and exhortations, and follow the advice which is available in abundance, their fears of what may come to pass will be diminished and their apprehension about what they should do if the worst happens will be eased.
- The Universal House of Justice (From a letter dated 7 March 1988 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer; compilation: ‘Potential Calamities and Ensuring Sustainability of Communities’, prepared by the Baha’i World Center)
