In the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh, it is incumbent upon every soul
to acquire a trade and an occupation. For example, I know how to weave or make
a mat, and you know some other trade. This, in itself is an act of worship,
provided that it is conducted on the basis of utmost honesty and faithfulness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Star of the West, vol. 19, no. 2; The Compilation of
Compilations vol. I)
