In truth, religion is a radiant light and an impregnable
stronghold for the protection and welfare of the peoples of the world, for the
fear of God impelleth man to hold fast to that which is good, and shun all
evil. Should the lamp of religion be obscured, chaos and confusion will ensue,
and the lights of fairness and justice, of tranquillity and peace cease to
shine. Unto this will bear witness every man of true understanding.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
