As to the children: We have directed that in the beginning
they should be trained in the observances and laws of religion; and thereafter,
in such branches of knowledge as are of benefit, and in commercial pursuits
that are distinguished for integrity, and in deeds that will further the
victory of God's Cause or will attract some outcome which will draw the
believer closer to his Lord. We beg of God to assist the children of His loved
ones and adorn them with wisdom, good conduct, integrity and righteousness. He,
verily, is the Forgiving, the Clement. - Baha’u’llah (The Compilation of
Compilations’, vol. I, Baha’i Education)
