Consider that which the Merciful Lord hath revealed in the
Qur’án, exalted are His words: “Worship ye God, join with Him no peer or
likeness; and show forth kindliness and charity towards your parents...”
Observe how loving-kindness to one’s parents hath been linked to recognition of
the one true God! Happy they who are endued with true wisdom and understanding,
who see and perceive, who read and understand, and who observe that which God
hath revealed in the Holy Books of old, and in this incomparable and wondrous
Tablet.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Questions and Answers’, ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
