Source (Arabic)
قل قد جائت كرّة الأخرى و‌بسطنا يد الإقتدار علی كلّ من في السّموات و‌الأرض وأظهرنا من سرّنا الأعظم علی الحقّ الخالص سرّا أقلّ عمّا يحصى إذا ماتت الطّوريّون عند مطلع هذا النّور الحمراء علی بقعة السّيناء و‌كذلك جاء جمال الرّحمن علی ظلل البرهان و‌قضي الأمر من لدى اللّه العزيز الحكيم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: The Revelation sent down by God hath most surely been repeated, and the outstretched Hand of Our power hath overshadowed all that are in the heavens and all that are on the earth. We have, through the power of truth, the very truth, manifested an infinitesimal glimmer of Our impenetrable Mystery, and lo, they that have recognized the radiance of the Sinaitic splendor expired, as they caught a lightening glimpse of this Crimson Light enveloping the Sinai of Our Revelation. Thus hath He Who is the Beauty of the All-Merciful come down in the clouds of His testimony, and the decree been accomplished by virtue of the Will of God, the All-Glorious, the All-Wise.
