Great is the recompense that God has ordained for the true
and devoted souls, the pure and detached beings who have spontaneously
bequeathed a portion of their earthly possessions to the Cause of God, either
during their own lifetimes or through their wills, and have had the privilege
and honour of discharging their obligations to Huqúqu'lláh.
Give assurance on my behalf to the donors and to the
survivors of those who have ascended unto God, affirming that these efforts and
donations are bound to attract divine confirmations, heavenly blessings and
incalculable favours, and to promote the manifold interests of the
International Bahá'í Community. Well is it with them, inasmuch as God has
enabled them to fulfil that which shall elevate their stations in this world
and in the world to come.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi,
23 June 1945, translated from the Persian) The Compilation of Compilations,
vol. I, Huququ’llah)
