شهد اللّه بلسانه الحقّ فیکلّ الألواح بأنّنی انا حیّ فی الأفق الأبهی و اذاً تاللّه فی هذا الأفق الأمنع الأقدس الأعزّ الأعلی یسمع و یری و ینطق بأن یا جواد فطوبی لک بما فزت بما لا فاز به احد قبلک تاللّه الحقّ بک قرّت عیون اهل ملإ الفردوس ولکنّ النّاس هم لا یعرفون تاللّه لو نعرّفک العباد لیضطربنّ النّفوس و یزلّنّ الأقدام و ینصعقنّ هیاکل الغرور و یخرّنّ علی وجه التّراب و یجعلون اصابع الاعراض فی آذانهم لئلّا یسمعون لا تحزن عن الّذینهم اشتغلوا بالدّنیا و نسوا ذکر اللّه الأعظم تاللّه الحقّ سوف یأخذهم اللّه بقهر من عنده و انّه لهو القویّ القاهر القدیر و یطهّر الأرض عن دنس هؤلآء و یورثها عباده المقرّبین قل یا قوم تراباً علی فمکم و رماداً علی عیونکم بما بعتم یوسف اللّه بأخسر شیء فوا حسرتا علیکم یا ملأ الغافلین أ تظنّون فی انفسکم بأنّکم تسبقونه فی امره لا فونفسه المقتدر العلیّ العظیم فسوف یأخذکم نفحات العذاب و یغشّیکم غبرة الجحیم انّ الّذینهم استکبروا علی اللّه بما اجتمع علیهم زخارف الدّنیا اولئک خسروا فی الدّنیا و الآخرة فسوف یأخذ اللّه ما عندهم بأیادی قدرته و یجعلهم عریّا عن اثواب مکرمته فسوف یشهدون و تکون من الشّاهدین قل یا قوم لا تغرّنّکم الدّنیا بغرورها لأنّها و ما خلق فیها مقبوضة بقبضة ارادته یعطی علی من یشآء و یمنع عمّن یشآء و انّه لهو الفعّال لما یرید و لو کان لها عنده من قدر لم یؤتها علی اعدائه قدر خردل ولکن اشتغلکم بها بما اکتسبت ایداکم فی امره و هذا عذاب لأنفسکم بأنفسکم علی انفسکم ان انتم من الشّاعرین هل تفرحون بما اوتیتم بما لا قدر له عند اللّه و به یمتحن عباده المتوهّمین

Shoghi Effendi Translation

God hath, through His tongue that uttereth the truth, testified in all His Tablets to these words: “I am He that liveth in the Abhá Realm of Glory.” By the righteousness of God! He, from the heights of this sublime, this holy, this mighty, and transcendent station, seeth all things, heareth all things, and is, at this hour, proclaiming: Blessed art thou, O Javád, inasmuch as thou hast attained unto that which no man before thee hath attained. I swear by Him Who is the Eternal Truth! Through thee the eyes of the inmates of the Exalted Paradise have been gladdened. The people, however, are utterly heedless. Were We to reveal thy station, the hearts of men would be sorely agitated, their footsteps would slip, the embodiments of vainglory would be dumbfounded, would fall down upon the ground, and would thrust the fingers of heedlessness into their ears, for fear of hearing. Grieve thou not over those that have busied themselves with the things of this world, and have forgotten the remembrance of God, the Most Great. By Him Who is the Eternal Truth! The day is approaching when the wrathful anger of the Almighty will have taken hold of them. He, verily, is the Omnipotent, the All-Subduing, the Most Powerful. He shall cleanse the earth from the defilement of their corruption, and shall give it for an heritage unto such of His servants as are nigh unto Him. Say: O people! Dust fill your mouths, and ashes blind your eyes, for having bartered away the Divine Joseph for the most paltry of prices. Oh, the misery that resteth upon you, ye that are far astray! Have ye imagined in your hearts that ye possess the power to outstrip Him and His Cause? Far from it! To this He, Himself, the All-Powerful, the Most Exalted, the Most Great, doth testify. Soon shall the blasts of His chastisement beat upon you, and the dust of hell enshroud you. Those men who, having amassed the vanities and ornaments of the earth, have turned away disdainfully from God — these have lost both this world and the world to come. Erelong, will God, with the Hand of Power, strip them of their possessions, and divest them of the robe of His bounty. To this they themselves shall soon witness. Thou, too, shalt testify. Say: O people! Let not this life and its deceits deceive you, for the world and all that is therein is held firmly in the grasp of His Will. He bestoweth His favor on whom He willeth, and from whom He willeth He taketh it away. He doth whatsoever He chooseth. Had the world been of any worth in His sight, He surely would never have allowed His enemies to possess it, even to the extent of a grain of mustard seed. He hath, however, caused you to be entangled with its affairs, in return for what your hands have wrought in His Cause. This, indeed, is a chastisement which ye, of your own will, have inflicted upon yourselves, could ye but perceive it. Are ye rejoicing in the things which, according to the estimate of God, are contemptible and worthless, things wherewith He proveth the hearts of the doubtful?
