Education - of Women
BAHA'O'LLAH declares the education of woman to be of more importance than that of man. If the mother be ignorant, even if the father have great knowledge, the child's education will be at fault, for education begins with the milk. A child at the breast is like a tender branch that the gardener can train as he wills.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Divine Philosophy, p. 86
Quote of the Day
Idal 4 Azamat 183 B.E.
Educate the children in their infancy in such a way that they may become exceedingly kind and merciful to the animals. If an animal is sick they should endeavor to cure it; if it is hungry, they should feed it; if it is thirsty, they should satisfy its thirst; if it is tired, they should give it rest.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Bahá’í World Faith, p. 374
