O ye rich ones on earth!
If ye encounter one who is poor, treat him not disdainfully. Reflect upon that whereof ye were
created. Every one of you was created of
a sorry germ. [Qur’an 77:20; 32:8]
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Napoleon III,
Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
