A2	justice			Cited in Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Tarázát, pp. 36-37. "In the Hidden Words Bahá'u'lláh says, "Justice is to be loved above all."" (Attributed to 'Abdu'l-Bahá, 'Abdu'l-Bahá in London, p. 20) "Small wonder, therefore, that the Author of the Bahá'í Revelation should have chosen to associate the name and title of that House, which is to be the crowning glory of His administrative institutions, not with forgiveness but with justice, to have made justice the only basis and the permanent foundation of His Most Great Peace, and to have proclaimed it in His Hidden Words as "the best beloved of all things" in His sight." (Shoghi Effendi, Advent of Divine Justice, pp. 28-29) "You raise concerns about the problems that can arise from the service of a husband and wife on the same Assembly. We should point out that the same problems can arise from the joint service of a parent and child, of two brothers, of two partners in business, or of any two other people who have close association outside their membership on the Assembly. A rule to deal with all these possibilities would itself introduce serious problems. The solution to this is a question of maturation. Bahá’ís have to learn to stand on their own two feet and speak their minds and judge according to their own understanding, as strongly exhorted by Bahá’u’lláh in the Hidden Words, in which He declares that “The best beloved of all things in My sight is justice.”" (Messages from the Universal House of Justice 1986-2001, sec. 102.13)
