…the religions of
God are the true source of the spiritual and material perfections of man, and
the fountainhead for all mankind of enlightenment and beneficial knowledge… By
the Lord God, and there is no God but He, even the minutest details of
civilized life derive from the grace of the Prophets of God. What thing of
value to mankind has ever come into being which was not first set forth either
directly or by implication in the Holy Scriptures?
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘The Secret of
Divine Civilization’)
