selected quotations (authoritative sources)	These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts: "The company of the ungodly increaseth sorrow, whilst fellowship with the righteous cleanseth the rust from off the heart. He that seeketh to commune with God, let him betake himself to the companionship of His loved ones; and he that desireth to hearken unto the word of God, let him give ear to the words of His chosen ones." – Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, Persian, no. 56 (BH00113) "... the Rulers ... were called upon to bring their corrective and healing influence to bear upon the injustices perpetrated by the tyrannical and the ungodly..." – Shoghi Effendi, This Decisive Hour "... The word 'ungodly' should not be misunderstood. An ungodly person may profess belief in God, while many who regard themselves as agnostics or atheists may not be ungodly in reality. An ungodly person is one who through his friendship, knowingly or unknowingly, prevents a believer from following the dictates of his faith and becomes a barrier between him and his God." – Adib Taherzadeh, The Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh, volume 3, pp. 35-36
