Teaching children - Bahai

Baha’u’llah said, in a Tablet (translated from the Persian) [14]: “That which is of paramount importance for the children, that which must precede all else, is to teach them the oneness of God and the laws of God.

“The parents must exert every effort to rear their offspring to be religious, for should the children not attein this greatest of adornments, they will not obey their parents, which in a certain sense means that they will not obey God.

” Indeed, such children will show no consideration to anyone, and will do exactly as they please.”

It’s a question of principle

The Bahá’í Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions. Among the many Bahá’í principles are the following:

the unity of the races and elimination of prejudice, the equality of women and men, universal education, the elimination of extremes of wealth and poverty, a spiritual solution to economic problems, the harmony of science and religion, the independent investigation of truth, the creation of a world commonwealth of nations that will keep the peace through collective security.
