Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 196 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
ثمّ ظهوره ومن یعجز عن عرفانهما جعل الدّلیل له آیاته وهذا من فضله علی العالمین واودع في كلّ نفس ما یعرف به آثار الله ومن دون ذلك لن یتمّ حجّته علی عباده إن أنتم في أمره لمن المتفكرین إنّه لا یظلم نفسًا ولا یأمر العباد فوق طاقتهم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Next to this testimony is His Revelation. For whoso faileth to recognize either the one or the other He hath established the words He hath revealed as proof of His reality and truth. This is, verily, an evidence of His tender mercy unto men. He hath endowed every soul with the capacity to recognize the signs of God. How could He, otherwise, have fulfilled His testimony unto men, if ye be of them that ponder His Cause in their hearts. He will never deal unjustly with anyone, neither will He task a soul beyond its power.
