There can be no doubt that whatsoever hath been revealed from the
All-Glorious Pen, be it ordinances or prohibitions, conferreth benefits
upon the believers themselves. For example, among the commandments is
that of the Ḥuqúqu’lláh. If the people attain the
privilege of paying the Ḥuqúq, the one true
God—exalted be His glory—will of a certainty confer blessing upon
them. Moreover, such payment will enable them and their offspring to
benefit from their possessions. As thou dost observe, large portions of
people’s wealth are lost to them as God causeth strangers, or heirs in
comparison with whom strangers would have been preferable, to lay hands
on their possessions.
