171 QUR'ÁN--STUDY OF (Concerning School Program)
"With regard to the school's program (Louhelen) for the
next summer; the Guardian would certainly advise, and even
urge the friends to make a thorough study of the Qur'án, as the
knowledge of this sacred Scripture is absolutely indispensable
for every believer who wishes to adequately understand and
intelligently read, the writings of Bahá'u'lláh. Although there
are very few persons among Western Bahá'ís who are capable
of handling such a course in a scholarly way, the mere lack of
such competent teachers should encourage and stimulate the
believers to get better acquainted with the Sacred Scriptures of
Islám. In this way, there will gradually appear some distinguished
Bahá'ís who will be so well versed in the teachings of
Islám as to be able to guide the believers in their study of that
religion."
