Employ yourself usefully;
earn, but do not clasp the riches with frantic zeal.
Be like a trustee holding things on trust,
on behalf of God, for purposes which He likes and approves.
You should not collect money
in devious ways for good causes.
Help should come from pious hearts,
from well earned money,
from persons who know and
appreciate the purpose, for which they give.
Let each one give out of the fullness of his heart,
on his own initiative, whatever he can give gladly,
after studying well the cause.
Your duty is only to inform,
not persuade; begging, for the sake of work
which is inherently good, is an insult, to human nature;
the man who asks and the man who is asked, both are demeaned.
