In ordaining the mighty law of Huqúqu’lláh, the Blessed
Beauty has vouchsafed a favour unto His ardent lovers through which they can
express their personal sense of devotion to God in a profoundly private act of
conscience. This sacred law creates a direct and vital link between the
individual believer and the Head of the Faith, enables the friends to become
firm and steadfast, and, as the beloved Master affirms, exerts “a great
influence on their hearts and souls”. Above all, when those privileged to pay
the Right of God offer it in a spirit of joy, fellowship, and contentment, it
will impart prosperity and protection, purify their worldly possessions, and
enable them and their offspring to benefit from the fruits of their endeavours.
