"...every person must acquire a craft."
Thou hast written regarding thy meeting with... He hath
written that he desireth to teach thee one of the crafts and show thee
affection and consideration. We beseech God that this purpose may be attained,
and thou wilt learn such a skill, for according to the divine ordinances, every
person must acquire a craft.

Divine Prophets are Manifestations of Truth
From: Talks of ‘Abdu’l-Baha
November 24, 1911
At the home of Mademoiselle Gastea, Paris, France
All the divine prophets are the Manifestations of Truth. His Highness Moses
declared the Truth. His Highness the Christ spread the Truth. His Highness
Muhammad established the Truth. All the Chosen Ones of God proclaimed the
Truth. His Highness Baha’u’llah unfurled the ensign of Truth. All the
sanctified souls who have stepped into the arena of existence have been the
lamps of Truth.
Truth is the oneness of the kingdom of humanity. Truth is love among the
children of men. Truth is the proclamation of Justice. Truth is divine
guidance. Truth is the virtues and perfections of the human world. Truth is
equality between the people of all countries. Truth is the illumination of the
realm of man.
All the prophets of God have been the heralds of Truth. All have been united
and agreed on this principle. Every prophet predicted the coming of a successor
and every successor acknowledged the Truth of the predecessor.
Moses prophesied the coming of Christ. Christ acknowledged Moses. His Highness
Christ foretold the appearance of Muhammad, and Muhammad accepted the Christ
and Moses. When all these divine prophets were united with each other, why
should we disagree? We are the followers of those holy souls. In the same
manner that the prophets loved each other, we should follow their example, for
we are all the servants of God and the Bounties of the Almighty are encircling
every one.
