The
first bestowal of God to the world of humanity is religion because religion
consists of divine teachings. Certainly divine teachings are preferable to all
other sources of instructions.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, October 11, 1912, San Francisco, USA, recorded by Mahmud
Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
