After Socrates came the divine Plato who was a pupil of the
former and occupied the chair of philosophy as his successor. He acknowledged
his belief in God and in His signs which pervade all that hath been and shall
be. Then came Aristotle, the well-known man of knowledge. He it is who
discovered the power of gaseous matter. These men who stand out as leaders of
the people and are pre-eminent among them, one and all acknowledged their
belief in the immortal Being Who holdeth in His grasp the reins of all
sciences.

Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
