Source (Arabic)
اصلش ثابت گردد و فرعش از افلاک بگذرد ای اهل عالم فضل این ظهور اعظم آنکه آنچه سبب اختلاف و فساد و نفاق است از کتاب محو نمودیم و آنچه علّت الفت و اتّحاد و اتّفاقست ثبت فرمودیم نعیمًا للعاملین مکرّر وصیّت نموده
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O ye that dwell on earth! The distinguishing feature that marketh the preeminent character of this Supreme Revelation consisteth in that We have, on the one hand, blotted out from the pages of God’s holy Book whatsoever hath been the cause of strife, of malice and mischief amongst the children of men, and have, on the other, laid down the essential prerequisites of concord, of understanding, of complete and enduring unity. Well is it with them that keep My statutes.
