Morning
Some, deluded by their idle fancies, have conceived all created things as associates and partners of God, and imagined themselves to be the exponents of His unity. By Him Who is the one true God! Such men have been, and will continue to remain, the victims of blind imitation, and are to be numbered with them that have restricted and limited the conception of God.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)

QUESTION: Which is to take precedence: the Huqúqu’lláh, the
debts of the deceased or the cost of the funeral and burial?
ANSWER [by Baha’u’llah]: The funeral and burial take precedence, then settlement of debts, then payment of Huqúqu’lláh. Should the property of the deceased prove insufficient to cover his debts, the remainder of his estate should be distributed among these debts in proportion to their size.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Questions and Answers’; ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
