O people of the world! Build ye houses of worship throughout the lands in the name of Him Who is the Lord of all religions.... Then, with radiance and joy, celebrate therein the praise of your Lord, the Most Compassionate. Verily, by His remembrance the eye is cheered and the heart is filled with light.
- Baha'u'llah, The Kitáb-i-Aqdas, p. 29
… by God's help this temple [of worship] will prove to be to the body of human society what the soul is to the body of man. For when these colleges for the study of higher sciences, the hospital, the orphanage and the hospice are built, its doors will be opened to all nations, races and religions, with no line of demarkation and its charities will be dispensed without regard to race or color. Its gates will be flung wide to mankind; prejudice toward none, love for all.
- Abdu’l-Bahá, Divine Philosophy, p. 13
