Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 510 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
يكشف ومن لم يشأ إنّ ربّي لخير ناصر ومعين. أن يا عبد ذكّر العباد بما ألقيناك ولا تخف من أحد ولا تكن من الممترين، فسوف يرفع الله أمره ويعلو برهانه بين السّموات والأرضين، فتوكّل في كلّ الأمور على ربّك وتوجّه إليه ثمّ أعرض عن المنكرين، فاكف بالله ربّك ناصرا ومعين إنّا كتبنا على نفسنا نصرك في الملك وارتفاع أمرنا ولو لن يتوجّه إليك أحد من السلاطين.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Warn and acquaint the people, O Servant, with the things We have sent down unto Thee, and let the fear of no one dismay Thee, and be Thou not of them that waver. The day is approaching when God will have exalted His Cause and magnified His testimony in the eyes of all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth. Place, in all circumstances, Thy whole trust in Thy Lord, and fix Thy gaze upon Him, and turn away from all them that repudiate His truth. Let God, Thy Lord, be Thy sufficing succorer and helper. We have pledged Ourselves to secure Thy triumph upon earth and to exalt Our Cause above all men, though no king be found who would turn his face towards Thee.
