Shoghi Effendi values your sincere sympathy in this irreparable loss; he hopes that we all will follow the example of her saintly life. 29: He fully appreciates the deep sorrow that ... He fully appreciates the deep sorrow that you, as well as the other friends, feel for the passing away of the Greatest Holy Leaf. All those who met her cannot feel but an emptiness in their hearts.
Nothing testified quite so dramatically to the foresight embodied in Shoghi Effendi’s successive Plans than the fact that, within each of the new nation-states born after the second world war, Bahá’í communities and Spiritual Assemblies were already a part of the fabric of national life.

Let this cardinal principle be ever borne in mind, for it is the mainspring of all future activities, the remover of every embarrassing obstacle, the fulfillment of our Master’s dearest wish. May the year that has just dawned upon us witness in such a glorious field many a signal victory. Your true brother, SHOGHI. Haifa, Palestine, January 10, 1926. Letter of April 22nd, 1926.

The servant of His Threshold, SHOGHI. Haifa, Palestine. Our Common Servitude
On 19 January 2000, a message from the Universal House of Justice announced: In the early hours of this morning, the soul of Amatu’l-Bahá Rúḥíyyih Khánum, beloved consort of Shoghi Effendi and the Bahá’í world’s last remaining link with the family of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, was released from the limitations of this earthly existence.... Her twenty years of intimate association with Shoghi Effendi evoked from his pen such accolades as “my helpmate’, ‘my shield’, ‘my tireless collaborator in the arduous tasks I shoulder’....
For the present, we cannot but rejoice and feel profoundly thankful as we witness in so many directions the welcome signs of the gradual emancipation of the struggling Faith of Bahá’u’lláh, of the increasing recognition on the part of both the high and lowly of its universal principles—all so rich in their promise of ultimate victory. Your true brother, SHOGHI. Haifa, Palestine, October 29, 1926.
May He guide your steps and cheer your hearts in the service of His glorious and sacred Faith, Your true brother, Shoghi 11 February 1934 Dear Bahá’í Brother,
