Molas turned out the light in your country by closing your schools and thus prevented your nation from progressing, just as the rest of the turned up their lights after the great depression by making schooling available to all. Now 74 years later, Iran has to beg from the West and the East everything from light bulbs to maufacturing plants. Perhaps if the Molas had not turned out the lights then, Iran today would have been an economic power house like Germany, Japan or Canada instead of being entirely dependent on its oil without which it would be in the ranks of Zimbabwe, Sudan and Somalia.

I am participating in a service project in my apartment complex involving the education of children and their parents with other Baha'is in my cluster. This post is such an inspiration to me, and the historical information is of inestimable value. The trials faced by those courageous Baha'is during the Heroic Age seems overwhelmingly horrific. Yet, they persevered, as the Ba'b, Baha'ull'ah, Abdu'l-Baha' and the Guardian instructed, and those of us in the West have benefited from their sacrifices. God's Word for this Day has reached us because of their faith and tireless efforts. We in the West MUST develop that level of faith and devotion to the Cause of God. We must carry out what they in Iran have started. Thank you SO MUCH for this post!
