THE SEVENTH ISHRAQ: (200:1) The Supreme Pen enjoins upon all to instruct and educate the children. Upon Our arrival in the Prison, the following verses have in this connection been revealed in the Book of Aqdas, from the heaven of the divine will: It is decreed that every father must educate his sons and daughters in learning and in writing and also in that which hath been ordained in the Tablet. He who neglects that which hath been commanded, if he is rich, it is incumbent on the trustees to recover from him the amount required for the education of the children; otherwise the matter shall devolve on the House of Justice. Verily We have made it an asylum for the poor and needy. (200:2) He who educates his son, or any other's children, it is as though he hath educated one of My children. Upon such an one be My Baha, My providence and My mercy, which hath embraced all in the world!
(200:3)
