Bahá'u'lláh's ministry (1853–1892) · 1 min

An American pioneering couple in the 1930’s had had no results in their community for over three years in spite of diligent efforts.  When they told Hand of the Cause Dorothy Baker, she recommended they pray "Ya Allah El-Mustagath".  The wife of the couple was alarmed and exclaimed that this particular invocation was reserved for life or death situations. Dorothy responded “What greater calamity than for (you) to have spent three years in the town with no result?” This invocation was uttered 95 times. It marked the beginning of that city’s Assembly.
