ما هو هدف الدين

"إِنَّ دِينَ اللهِ وَمَذْهَبَهُ قَدْ نُزِّلَ وَظَهَرَ مِنْ سَمَاءِ مَشِيئَةِ مَالِكِ الْقِدَمِ لِمَحْضِ اتِّحَادِ أَهْلِ الْعَالَمِ وَاتِّفَاقِهِمْ فَلاَ تَجْعَلُوهُ سَبَبَ الاخْتِلاَفِ وَالنِّفَاقِ. وَلَمْ يَزَلِ الدِّينُ الإِلَهِيُّ وَالشَّرِيعَةُ الرَّبَّانِيَّةُ السَّبَبَ الأَعْظَمَ وَالْوَسِيلَةَ الْكُبْرَى لِظُهُورِ نَيِّرِ الاتِّحَادِ وَإِشْرَاقِهِ. وَنُمُوُّ الْعَالَمِ وَتَرْبِيَةُ الأُمَمِ وَاطْمِئْنَانُ الْعِبَادِ وَرَاحَةُ مَنْ فِي الْبِلاَدِ مَنُوطٌ بِالأُصُولِ وَالأَحْكَامِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ. فَهِيَ السَّبَبُ الأَعْظَم لِهَذِهِ الْعَطِيَّةِ الْكُبْرَى تَهَبُ كَأْسَ الْبَقَاءِ وَتُعْطِي الْحَيَاةَ الْخَالِدَةَ وَتَمْنَحُ النِّعْمَةَ السَّرْمَدِيَّةَ. .... نَطْلُبُ مِنْ مَظَاهِرِ الْقُدْرَةِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ أَعْنِي الْمُلُوكَ وَالرُّؤَسَاءَ أَنْ يَبْذُلُوا الْهِمَّةَ عَسَى أَنْ يَرْتَفِعَ الْخِلاَفُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْبَرِيَّةِ وَيَسْتَنِيْرُ الآفَاقُ بِنُورِ الاتِّفَاقِ. يَجِبُ أَنْ يَتَمَسَّكَ الْكُلُّ وَيَعْمَلَ بِمَا جَرَى مِنَ الْقَلَمِ الأَعْلَى." بهاءالله

Know thou assuredly that the essence of all the Prophets of God is one and the same. Their unity is absolute. God, the Creator, saith: There is no distinction whatsoever among the Bearers of My Message. They all have but one purpose; their secret is the same secret. To prefer one in honor to another, to exalt certain ones above the rest, is in no wise to be permitted. Every true Prophet hath regarded His Message as fundamentally the same as the Revelation of every other Prophet gone before Him. If any man, therefore, should fail to comprehend this truth, and should consequently indulge in vain and unseemly language, no one whose sight is keen and whose understanding is enlightened would ever allow such idle talk to cause him to waver in his belief.
(Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah)
