..riches rightly acquired and rightly used are honorable and praiseworthy. Services rendered should be adequately rewarded. Baha'u'llah says.. "The people of Baha must not refuse to discharge the due reward of anyone, and must respect possessors of talent, ... One must speak with justice and recognize the worth of benefits." (143:4)

"..We have appointed "profit on money" to be.. allowable, lawful and pure.. The Pen of Glory has withheld itself from laying down its limits.. We exhort the friends of God to act with fairness and justice.." (Baha'u'llah) (144:1)
