ان جناب يا غير گفته سوره توحيد را ترجمه نمايند تا نزد کلّ معلوم و مبرهن گردد که حقّ لم يلد و لم يولد است و بابيها بربوبيّت و الوهيّت قائلند *

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Either thou or someone else hath said: "Let the Surih of Tawhid be translated, so that all may know and be fully persuaded that the one true God begetteth not, nor is He begotten. Moreover, the Bábís believe in his (Bahá’u’lláh's) Divinity and Godhood."
