What is Religion?

"how religion can be and must be the main instrument for happiness and unity for all humanity...."

Abdu'l Baha defines Religion:
"Religion, moreover, is not a series of beliefs, a set of customs; religion is the teachings of the Lord God, teachings  which constitute the very life of humankind, which urge high thoughts upon the mind, refine the character, and lay the groundwork for man's everlasting honour.
(Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha)

Rely upon God. 
Trust in Him,
Praise Him and call 
Him continually to mind.
He, verily, turneth trouble into ease,
and sorrow into solace,
and toil into utter peace.
He verily hath dominion over all things.
Abdu'l Baha
