There need be no slums, no starvation, no destitution, no industrial slavery, no health-destroying drudgery.
The Ethics of Wealth According to the Baha'i teachings, riches rightly acquired and rightly used are honorable and praiseworthy.

Services rendered should be adequately rewarded.

Baha'u'llah says in the Tablet of Tarazat:--"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." With regard to interest on money, Baha'u'llah writes in the Tablet of I_sh_raqat as follows:-- Most of the people are found to be in need of this matter; for if no interest be allowed, affairs (business) will be trammeled and obstructed....

A person is rarely found who would lend money to anyone upon the principle of "Qar-i-hasan" (literally "good loan," i.e.money advanced without interest and repaid at the pleasure of the borrower).
