Source (Arabic)
بأهوائهم ما لا اذن الله لهم بگو الیوم یوم اصغا است بشنوید ندای مظلوم را باسم حقّ ناطق باشید و بطراز ذکرش مزیّن و بانوار حبّش مستنیر اینست مفتاح قلوب و صیقل وجود و الّذی غفل عمّا جری من اصبع الارادة انّه فی غفلة مبین صلاح و
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: This is the Day when every ear must needs be attentive to His voice. Hearken ye to the Call of this wronged One, and magnify ye the name of the one true God, and adorn yourselves with the ornament of His remembrance, and illumine your hearts with the light of His love. This is the key that unlocketh the hearts of men, the burnish that shall cleanse the souls of all beings. He that is careless of what hath poured out from the finger of the Will of God liveth in manifest error. Amity and rectitude of conduct, rather than dissension and mischief, are the marks of true faith.
