O people of God! Be not occupied with yourselves.

Be intent on the betterment of the world and the training of nations .-- BAHA'U'LLAH.
Religion the Basis of Civilization According to the Baha'i view, the problems of human life, individual and social, are so inconceivably complex that the ordinary human intellect is incapable of itself of solving them aright.

Only the Omniscient fully knows the purpose of creation and how that purpose may be achieved.
Through the Prophets He shows to mankind the true goal of human life and the right path of progress; and the building up of a true civilization depends upon faithful adherence to the guidance of prophetic Revelation.
Baha'u'llah says:-- Religion is the greatest instrument for the order of the world and the tranquillity of all existent beings.

The weakening of the pillars of religion has encouraged the ignorant and rendered them audacious and arrogant.

Truly I say, whatever lowers the lofty station of religion will increase heedlessness in the wicked, and finally result in anarchy....
Consider the civilization of the people of the Occident--how it has occasioned commotion and agitation to the people of the world.
Infernal instruments have been devised, and such atrocity is displayed in the destruction of life as has not been seen by the eye of the world, nor heard by the ear of nations.
