This was the title of an article published in Egypt Today Magazine September 2006.
We tried to find answer to the following question;
what is the purpose of religion?
Baha'u'llah explained, is because religion must fulfill two distinct needs: The first is to guide individuals towards happiness and spiritual contentment, and the second is to provide communities with guidance and laws to enable a healthy, functioning society to thrive and develop:
" God's purpose in sending His Prophets unto men is twofold. The first is to liberate the children of men from the darkness of ignorance, and guide them to the light of true understanding. The second is to ensure the peace and tranquility of mankind, and provide all the means by which they can be established. (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 79)
