April 3

It hath been enjoined upon you to purify your means of sustenance and other such things through payment of Zakát.[Tithes] Thus hath it been prescribed in this exalted Tablet by Him Who is the Revealer of verses. We shall, if it be God’s will and purpose, set forth erelong the measure of its assessment. He, verily, expoundeth whatsoever He desireth by virtue of His own knowledge, and He, of a truth, is Omniscient and All-Wise. 
- Baha’u’llah  (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
[For a brief explanation of Zakák please see Vision and Insights – daily gems]
