Featured Video Play Icon

Abdu’l Baha – the son of Baha’u’llah – wrote the following in the wake of World War I

“There have issued, from His mighty Pen, various teachings for the prevention of war, and these have been scattered far and wide. The first is the independent investigation of truth; for blind imitation of the past will stunt the mind. But once every soul inquireth into truth, society will be freed from the darkness of continually repeating the past. “
