Source (Arabic)
قسم بآفتاب حقیقت که از اعلی افق عالم اشراق نموده حزب الله جز عمار و اصلاح عالم و تهذیب امم مقصودی نداشته و ندارند با جمیع ناس بصدق و صفا بوده‌اند ظاهرشان عین باطن و باطن نفس ظاهر حقیقت امر پوشیده و پنهان نه امام وجوه ظاهر و هویدا نفس اعمال گواه این مقال
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The Daystar of Truth that shineth in its meridian splendor beareth Us witness! They who are the people of God have no ambition except to revive the world, to ennoble its life, and regenerate its peoples. Truthfulness and goodwill have, at all times, marked their relations with all men. Their outward conduct is but a reflection of their inward life, and their inward life a mirror of their outward conduct. No veil hideth or obscureth the verities on which their Faith is established. Before the eyes of all men these verities have been laid bare, and can be unmistakably recognized. Their very acts attest the truth of these words.
