Summary "The Secret of Divine Civilization" by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá is a philosophical and sociopolitical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work emphasizes the importance of education, justice, and the collective development of society, advocating for a civilizational renaissance based on moral and ethical principles. The text reflects on the historical decline of Persia and calls for a revival of human virtues and knowledge to achieve the well-being of all. At the start of the text, the author expresses profound gratitude and praise to God for the gift of human intellect, presenting it as the highest form of creation. He urges readers to reflect on the decline of civilization and the necessity for intellectual and moral awakening among the Persian people. He contrasts the glorious past of Persia with its current state, encouraging a rejection of ignorance and selfish interests in favor of collective betterment and a pursuit of knowledge. The opening passages outline a vision for a society that flourishes through the promotion of learning, civic responsibility, and universal peace. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
