"Make steadfast Thou, O my God, Thy servant who hath believed
in Thee to help Thy Cause, and keep him safe from all dangers in
the stronghold of Thy care and Thy protection, both in this life
and in the life which is to come. Thou, verily, rulest as Thou
pleasest. No God is there save Thee, the Ever-Forgiving,
the Most Generous."
Baha'u'llah, Prayers and
Meditations by Baha'u'llah, p. 157
“Say:
Tribulation is a horizon unto My Revelation. The day star of
grace shineth above it, and sheddeth a light which neither the
clouds of men's idle fancy nor the vain imaginations of the
aggressor can obscure.
Follow
thou the footsteps of thy Lord, and remember His servants even
as He doth remember thee, undeterred by either the clamor of the
heedless ones or the sword of the enemy.... Spread abroad the
sweet savors of thy Lord, and hesitate not, though it be for
less than a moment, in the service of His Cause. The day is
approaching when the victory of thy Lord, the Ever-Forgiving,
the Most Bountiful, will be proclaimed.” Baha'u'llah,
Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 42
“Behold how in this Dispensation the worthless and foolish have
fondly imagined that by such instruments as massacre, plunder
and banishment they can extinguish the Lamp which the Hand of
Divine power hath lit, or eclipse the Day Star of everlasting
splendor. How utterly unaware they seem to be of the truth that
such adversity is the oil that feedeth the flame of this Lamp!
Such is God's transforming power. He changeth whatsoever He
willeth; He verily hath power over all things....”
Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah,
p. 72
"O apostles of Bahá'u'lláh! How pitiful if we, who are
recognized as the bearers of His glorious Name, and related to
such an omnipotent Lord, should in moments of adversity, fail to
scrupulously follow the noble example set by Him Who stands
peerless in His long-suffering. Happy the one who until his last
breath has tasted the venom of woe at the hand of the faithless,
and blessed the heart that for the sake of promoting and
proclaiming His Cause does not allow himself a moment's rest.
Such is the disposition of the pure in heart, such is the method
of them that enjoy near access to God, such is the way of the
true strivers after God such befits the hosts that are under the
guidance of God, such is the means whereby undoubted triumph and
victory will be achieved for the Cause of God."
Abdu'l-Baha, Compilations, Fire and Light, p. 35
"You must follow the example and footprints of Jesus Christ.
Read the Gospels. Jesus Christ was mercy itself, was love
itself. He even prayed in behalf of His executioners -- for
those who crucified Him -- saying, "Father, forgive them; for
they know not what they do." If they knew what they were doing,
they would not have done it. Consider how kind Jesus Christ was,
that even upon the cross He prayed for His oppressors. We must
follow His example. We must emulate the Prophets of God. We must
follow Jesus Christ. We must free ourselves from all these
imitations which are the source of darkness in the
world." Abdu'l-Baha,
The Promulgation of Universal
Peace, p. 41
"Follow the example of Abdul-Bahá and at every moment wish to
offer yourselves in the path of the Beauty of ABHÁ. Shine ye
like unto the sun and roar and move like unto the sea; impart
life to mountain and desert like unto clouds, and similar to the
vernal breeze, bestow freshness, grace and elegance on the trees
of human temples." Abdu'l-Baha,
Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha
v1, p. 38

14 May 2008 – The above Six Bahá'í leaders in Iran were arrested
and taken to the notorious Evin prison in a sweep that is
ominously similar to episodes in the 1980s when scores of
Iranian Bahá'í leaders were summarily rounded up and killed.
The six men and women, all members of the national-level group
that helped see to the minimum needs of Bahá'ís in Iran, were in
their homes Wednesday morning when government intelligence
agents entered and spent up to five hours searching each home,
before taking them away.
The seventh member of the national coordinating group was
arrested in early March in Mashhad after being summoned by the
Ministry of Intelligence office there on an ostensibly trivial
matter.
Rasull_Allah Prophet
of God Muhammad, peace be upon Him, said in the Qur'an, "And
call to mind when the unbelievers plotted against thee, to
detain thee prisoner, or to kill thee, or to banish thee: They
plotted - but God plotted: and of plotters is God the best!"
The Qur'an (Rodwell tr), Sura 8 - The Spoils.
“And Moses said,
'Verily, I take refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every one
who is big with pride and believes not on the day of reckoning.'
And a believing- man of Pharaoh's people, who concealed his
faith, said, 'Will ye kill a man for saying, My Lord is God,
when he has come to you with manifest signs from your Lord? and
if he be a liar, against him is his lie; and if he be truthful,
there will befall you somewhat of that which he threatens you;
verily, God guides not him who is an extravagant liar. my
people! yours is the kingdom to-day, ye are eminent in the land,
but who will help us against the violence of God, if it comes
upon us?'
Said Pharaoh, 'I will only show you what I see, and I will only
guide you into the way of right direction.'” The Qur'an (E.H.
Palmer tr), Sura 40 - The Believer
“"And believe in those
only who follow your Religion" Say: True guidance is guidance
from God - that to others may be imparted the like of what hath
been imparted to you. Will they wrangle then with you in the
presence of their Lord? Say: Plenteous gifts are in the hands of
God: He imparteth them unto whom He will, and God is Bounteous,
Wise.” The Qur'an (Rodwell tr), Sura 3 - The Family of
Imran
