We have enjoined upon all to become engaged in some trade or
profession, and have accounted such occupation to be an act of worship. Before
all else, however, thou shouldst receive, as a sign of God's acceptance, the
mantle of trustworthiness from the hands of divine favour; for trustworthiness
is the chief means of attracting confirmation and prosperity. We entreat God to
make of it a radiant and mercifully showering rain-cloud that shall bring
success and blessings to thy affairs. He of a truth is the All-Bountiful, the
Gracious. - Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet; The Compilation of Compilations, Vol.
II, Trustworthiness)
