Source (Persian)
انّا وصّينا اولياءنا بتقوی اللّه الّذی کان مطلع الاعمال و الاخلاق * انّه قائد جنود العدل فی مدينة البهاء * طوبی لمن دخل فی ظلّ رايته النّوراء و تمسّک به انّه من اصحاب السّفينة الحمراء الّتی نزّل ذکرها فی قيّوم الاسماء *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
We have admonished Our loved ones to fear God, a fear which is the fountain-head of all goodly deeds and virtues. It is the commander of the hosts of justice in the city of Bahá. Happy the man that hath entered the shadow of its luminous standard, and laid fast hold thereon. He, verily, is of the Companions of the Crimson Ark, which hath been mentioned in the Qayyum-i-Asmá’.
