Source (Arabic)
ميقات امم منقضی شد و وعده‌های إلهی که در کتب مقدّسه مذکور است جميع ظاهر گشت و شريعة اللّه از صهيون جاری و أراضی و جبال أورشليم بتجلّيات أنوار ربّ مزيّن طوبی لمن تفکّر فيما نزّل فی کتب اللّه المهيمن القيّوم ای دوستان إلهی تفکّر نمائيد و بآذان واعيه اصغای کلمة اللّه کنيد تا از فضل و رحمت او از زلال استقامت بياشاميد و بر أمر اللّه مثل جبل راسخ و ثابت باشيد
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The time foreordained unto the peoples and kindreds of the earth is now come. The promises of God, as recorded in the holy Scriptures, have all been fulfilled. Out of Zion hath gone forth the Law of God, and Jerusalem, and the hills and land thereof, are filled with the glory of His Revelation. Happy is the man that pondereth in his heart that which hath been revealed in the Books of God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. Meditate upon this, O ye beloved of God, and let your ears be attentive unto His Word, so that ye may, by His grace and mercy, drink your fill from the crystal waters of constancy, and become as steadfast and immovable as the mountain in His Cause.
