On Him Who Loveth the Whole World: Love from Dubai

Marco again has his finger on the pulse. Here is his latest email. -gw

Dear Baha'i Bloggers,
Attached is a copy of the cover of a book entitled "Rashid's Legacy" (The Genesis of the Maktoum Family and the History of Dubai), and a copy of page 451 of the book, where chapter 27 begins with a quote from Baha'u'llah!


The Maktoum family is the ruling family of Dubai to whom the Emirate's incredible progress is credited.

Baha'i greetings from Lisbon,

The quote:
It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.
- Mirz Husayn-'Ali, religious leader and writer
