O People of al-Baha', it has been made incumbent on everyone of you to work at something, in artisan crafts, in gain or something like that. We have made your working at them your very worship ('ibada) of God, the Real One.
O people (ya qawm), think upon the mercy and benefits of God. Then thank Him at eventide and sunrise. Do not waste your time in idleness and laziness. Work at something that will benefit you and others. Thus decided the Command in this Tablet, which has shone from the horizon of the Sun of Wisdom and Clear Explanation (al-tibyan).
God hates most those who sit and beg.
Catch hold of the Rope of Causes, trusting in God, the Causer of Causes.
