Source (Arabic)
يا أهل الأرض إذا غربت شمس جمالي وسترت سماء هيكلي لا تضطربوا قوموا على نصرة أمري وارتفاع كلمتي بين العالمين إنّا معكم في كلّ الأحوال وننصركم بالحقّ إنّا كنّا قادرين من عرفني يقوم على خدمتي بقيام لا تقعده جنود السّموات والأرضين
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Be not dismayed, O peoples of the world, when the daystar of My beauty is set, and the heaven of My tabernacle is concealed from your eyes. Arise to further My Cause, and to exalt My Word amongst men. We are with you at all times, and shall strengthen you through the power of truth. We are truly almighty. Whoso hath recognized Me, will arise and serve Me with such determination that the powers of earth and heaven shall be unable to defeat his purpose.
