Moses came during a time of darkness, when ignorance and
childishness prevailed amongst the people, and they were waverers. Moses was
the teacher of God; He gave the teachings of holiness and educated the
Israelites. He raised up the people from their degradation and caused them to
be highly honoured. He taught them Sciences and Arts, trained them in
civilization and increased their human virtues.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha (From a talk, ‘Abdu'l-Baha
in London, September 8, 1911’)
