The following six study guides consist mostly of quotations from the writings of Baha'u'llah originally published in book: The Advent of Divine Justice, pages 75-85. These quotations from Baha'u'llah are the sacred verses chosen by the beloved Guardian to infuse vision, inspire teaching, impel service and promote steadfastness in the Faith. Shoghi Effendi wrote the following regarding the importance of these passages:
“Dearly beloved friends! I can do no better, eager as I am to extend to every one of you any assistance in my power that may enable you to discharge more effectively your divinely appointed, continually multiplying duties, than to direct your special attention, at this decisive hour, to these immortal passages, gleaned in part from the great mass of Bahá’u’lláh’s unpublished and untranslated writings. Whether in His revelation of the station and functions of His loved ones, or His eulogies of the greatness of His Cause, or His emphasis on the paramount importance of teaching, or the dangers which He foreshadows, the counsels He imparts, the warnings He utters, the vistas He discloses, and the assurances and promises He gives, these dynamic and typical examples of Bahá’u’lláh’s sublime utterance, each having a direct bearing on the tasks which actually face or lie ahead of the American Bahá’í community, cannot fail to produce on the minds and hearts of any one of its members, who approaches them with befitting humility and detachment, such powerful reactions as to illuminate his entire being and intensify tremendously his daily exertions.” (ADJ, p. 75)
