“As to the three aims which Shoghi Effendi has stated in
his America and the Most Great Peace to have been the chief
objectives of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s ministry, it should be pointed out
that the first was: The establishment of the Cause in America;
the erection of the Bahá’í Temple in Ishqábád, and the building
on Mt. Carmel of a mausoleum marking the resting-place of the
Báb, were the two remaining ones.”
