Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 474 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
وأيقن بأنّ الّذي لن تجد عنده الدّيانة لم تكن عنده الأمانة والصّدق وإنّ هذا لحقّ يقين، ومن خان الله يخان السّلطان ولن يحترز عن شيء ولن يتّقي في أمور النّاس وما كان من المتّقين،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Know thou for a certainty that whoso disbelieveth in God is neither trustworthy nor truthful. This, indeed, is the truth, the undoubted truth. He that acteth treacherously towards God will, also, act treacherously towards his king. Nothing whatever can deter such a man from evil, nothing can hinder him from betraying his neighbor, nothing can induce him to walk uprightly.
