| Science |
|
| In the Bahá'í teachings, the study of sciences must have as its goal the welfare and benefit of mankind. Bahá'u'lláh writes, 'Knowledge is as wings to man's life, and a ladder for his ascent. Its acquisition is incumbent upon everyone. The knowledge of such sciences, however, should be acquired as can profit the peoples of the earth, and not those which begin with words and end with words. Great indeed is the claim of scientists and craftsmen on the peoples of the world . . . In truth, knowledge is a veritable treasure for man, and a source of glory, of bounty, of joy, of exaltation, of cheer and gladness unto him.'6 |
| 'It is permissible to study sciences and arts, but such sciences as are useful and would redound to the progress and advancement of the people.'7 |
| [BD 203] |
