Source (Arabic)
إنّ ربّکم الرّحمن یحبّ أن یَری من في الأکوان کنفس واحدة وهیکل واحد أن اغتنموا فضل الله ورحمته في تلک الأیّام الّتي ما رأت عین الإبداع شبهها طوبی لمن نبذ ما عنده ابتغآء لما عند الله نشهد إنّه من الفائزین...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful, cherisheth in His heart the desire of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one body. Haste ye to win your share of God’s good grace and mercy in this Day that eclipseth all other created Days. How great the felicity that awaiteth the man that forsaketh all he hath in a desire to obtain the things of God! Such a man, We testify, is among God’s blessed ones.
