We are One Human Family

What future do we see for our children and youth?

From the Bahá’í Writings

…in every age, the reading of the scriptures and holy books is for no other purpose except to enable the reader to apprehend their meaning and unravel their innermost mysteries. Otherwise reading, without understanding, is of no abiding profit unto man.

— Bahá’u’lláh
