Render thou thanks unto God, for He hath graciously enabled
thee to observe the injunction set forth in His Most Holy Book, inasmuch as
thou hast arisen to fulfil the obligation of Huqúq, and God hath accepted thy
goodly deed.
Know thou, moreover, that those who faithfully serve the All-Merciful
will be enriched by Him out of His heavenly treasury, and that the Huqúq
offering is but a test applied by Him unto His servants and maidservants. Thus
every true and sincere believer will offer Huqúq to be expended for the relief
of the poor, the disabled, the needy, and the orphans, and for other vital
needs of the Cause of God, even as Christ did establish a Fund for benevolent
purposes.

of God’, 2007, prepared by the Baha’i World Centre)
