To “become distinguished in all the virtues of the human world”

‘Abdu’l-Bahá urges the friends to “become distinguished in all the virtues of the human world—

  • for faithfulness and sincerity,
  • for justice and fidelity,
  • for firmness and steadfastness,
  • for philanthropic deeds and service to the human world,
  • for love toward every human being,
  • for unity and accord with all people,
  • for removing prejudices and promoting international peace.”
