Source (Arabic)
قل هذه لسمآء فيها كنز أمّ الكتاب لو أنتم تعقلون هذا لهو الّذي به صاحت الصّخرة ونادت السّدرة على الطّور المرتفع على الأرض المباركة الملك لله الملك العزيز الودود
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: This, verily, is the heaven in which the Mother Book is treasured, could ye but comprehend it. He it is Who hath caused the Rock to shout, and the Burning Bush to lift up its voice, upon the Mount rising above the Holy Land, and proclaim: “The Kingdom is God’s, the sovereign Lord of all, the All-Powerful, the Loving!”
