Suicide is forbidden in the Cause. God Who is the Author of
all life can alone take it away, and dispose of it in the way He deems best.
Whoever commits suicide endangers his soul, and will suffer spiritually as a
result in the other Worlds Beyond.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a message dated 25 August 1939 written
on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; ‘Messages to Canada’)
