Source (Arabic)
قل يا قوم لا يأخذكم الاضطراب إذا غاب ملكوت ظهوري وسكنت أمواج بحر بياني إنّ في ظهوري لحكمة وفي غيبتي حكمة أخرى ما اطّلع بها إلاّ الله الفرد الخبير ونراكم من أفقي الأبهى وننصر من قام على نصرة أمري بجنود من الملأ الأعلى وقبيل من الملئكة المقرّبين
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Let not your hearts be perturbed, O people, when the glory of My Presence is withdrawn, and the ocean of My utterance is stilled. In My presence amongst you there is a wisdom, and in My absence there is yet another, inscrutable to all but God, the Incomparable, the All-Knowing. Verily, We behold you from Our realm of glory, and shall aid whosoever will arise for the triumph of Our Cause with the hosts of the Concourse on high and a company of Our favored angels.
