On 9 July 47, Shoghi Effendi received a letter from the chairman of United Nations Special Committee on Palestine requesting a statement on the relationship which the Baháí Faith had to Palestine and the Baháí attitude towards any future changes in the status of the country. His reply, The Faith of Baháulláh: A World Religion, was written 14 July 1947 and sent the next day. The Guardian responds beautifully: The Baha’i Faith is entirely non-political and we neither take sides in the present tragic dispute going on over the future of the Holy Land and its peoples nor have we any statement to make or advice to give as to what the nature of the political future of this country should be. Our aim is the establishment of universal peace in this world and our desire to see justice prevail in every domain of human society, including the domain of politics.
