Fraud
Content with the wages they are receiving, they should see that they do not stain their fair character through acts of bribery and fraud. Were one of the friends in this day to misappropriate so much as a single penny, the sacred mantle of God's Cause would become sullied by his action and the shame of it would attach to the whole community.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 344
Quote of the Day
Idal 11 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
...it is absolutely essential that the teachings should not be confused with the obscure ideas related to numerology . . . and the like. Individuals interested in them are free to believe in and credit such ideas and to make any inferences and deductions they desire from them, but under no circumstances are they expected to identify them with the principles and teachings of the Cause.
