Kitab-i-Aqdas/Elder48

It has been ordained for every father to educate his son and daughter in learning, handwriting and other things defined in the Tablet. Whoever neglects what he has been commanded, the Stewards must take from him whatever is necessary for their education: that is, if he is rich. Otherwise, their education is referred to the House of Justice. We have made it the shelter (ma'wa) of the poor and the needy.

Whoever educates his son or any one's sons, it is as though he had educated one of My sons. On him be My Splendour (baha'i), My Providence and My Mercy, which preceded the worlds.
