Source (Arabic)
ن ثمّ ذَكِّر النّاس بما نطق الرّوح في هذا اللّوح الدّرّيّ المبين قل يا قوم لا تفسدوا في الأرض ولا تحاربوا مع أحد أن اصبروا في كلّ الأمور وتوكّلوا على الله وكونوا من المتوكّلين أن انصروا ربّكم الرّحمن بسيوف الحكمة والبيان وإنّ هذا شأن الإنسان ومن دون ذلك لا ينبغي لله الملك السّبحان ولكنّ النّاس غفلوا عن ذلك وكانوا من الغافلين أن افتحوا يا قوم مصاريع القلوب بمفاتيح الذِّكر من هذا الذِّكر الحكيم ما أراد الله من الأرض وما عليها إلّا قلوب عباده وجعلها عرش
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Arise to aid thy Lord at all times and in all circumstances, and be thou one of His helpers. Admonish, then, the people to lend a hearing ear to the words which the Spirit of God hath uttered in this irradiant and resplendent Tablet. Say: Sow not, O people, the seeds of dissension amongst men, and contend not with your neighbor. Be patient under all conditions, and place your whole trust and confidence in God. Aid ye your Lord with the sword of wisdom and of utterance. This indeed well becometh the station of man. To depart from it would be unworthy of God, the Sovereign Lord of all, the Glorified. The people, however, have been led astray, and are truly of the heedless.
