إليه وكنتم على فراش الغفلة لمن الرّاقدين، إذا قوموا برجل الاستقامة وتداركوا ما فات عنكم ثمّ أقبلوا إلى ساحة القدس في شاطئ بحر عظيم ليظهر لكم لئالئ العلم والحكمة الّتي كنزها الله في صدف صدر منير، هذا خير النّصح لكم فاجعلوه بضاعة لأنفسكم لتكوننّ من المهتدين، إيّاكم أن لا تمنعوا عن قلوبكم نسمة الله الّتي بها تحيى قلوب المقبلين، فاستمعوا ما أنصحناكم به في هذا اللّوح ليسمع الله عنكم ويفتح على و
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Know ye that the poor are the trust of God in your midst. Watch that ye betray not His trust, that ye deal not unjustly with them and that ye walk not in the ways of the treacherous. Ye will most certainly be called upon to answer for His trust on the day when the Balance of Justice shall be set, the day when unto every one shall be rendered his due, when the doings of all men, be they rich or poor, shall be weighed.
