Zoroastrianism

Wealth and Poverty

Honest acquisition of wealth and care for the poor.

Wealth honestly acquired is good and should be used righteously. However, care for the poor is a religious duty. Extreme wealth and extreme poverty both work against the good.

Use wealth for good; care for those in need.
