Know ye that the poor are the trust of God in your
midst. Watch that ye betray not His
trust, that ye deal not unjustly with them and that ye walk not in the ways of
the treacherous. Ye will most certainly
be called upon to answer for His trust on the day when the Balance of Justice
shall be set, the day when unto everyone shall be rendered his due, when the
doings of all men, be they rich or poor, shall be weighed.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Suriy-i-Mulk [Tablet to the Kings]; ‘Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
