امروز روز فضل اعظم و فيض اکبر است بايد کلّ بکمال اتّحاد و اتّفاق در ظلّ سدره عنايت الهی ساکن و مستريح باشند و تمسّک نمايند بآنچه اليوم سبب عزّت و ارتفاع است طوبی لقوم تحرّک علی ذکرهم قلمی الأعلی و نعيمًا للّذين سترنا أسمائهم حکمة من عندنا از حق بطلبيد تا جميع را مُؤيّد فرمايد
Shoghi Effendi Translation
This is the Day in which God’s most excellent favors have been poured out upon men, the Day in which His most mighty grace hath been infused into all created things. It is incumbent upon all the peoples of the world to reconcile their differences, and, with perfect unity and peace, abide beneath the shadow of the Tree of His care and loving-kindness. It behooveth them to cleave to whatsoever will, in this Day, be conducive to the exaltation of their stations, and to the promotion of their best interests. Happy are those whom the all-glorious Pen was moved to remember, and blessed are those men whose names, by virtue of Our inscrutable decree, We have preferred to conceal.
