July 17. On this date in 1951, Shoghi Effendi wrote "The Bahá'ís are free to greet each other with Allah-u-Abha
when they meet, if they want to, but they should avoid anything which
to outsiders, in a western country, might seem like some strange
oriental password. We must be very firm on principles and laws, but very
normal and natural in our ways, so as to attract strangers!"
