In response to questions regarding the advent of catastrophic
events, the House of Justice has previously expressed that Bahá’ís should not
concern themselves unduly about the possibility of impending tragedies. The
entire world is going through a period of adversity in which calamities have
been and are occurring. Bahá’ís should avoid becoming preoccupied with
speculation about potential catastrophes and should concentrate their energy
and attention on the work of the Faith. Their optimistic outlook, their
unshakeable conviction that humankind is evolving to a new stage in its history
characterized by world unity and peace, and their wholehearted commitment to
the welfare of humanity will undoubtedly attract to the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh
thoughtful people who yearn for a way out of the difficulties that surround them.
