Source (Arabic)
لی الأمر وقل یا قوم قد جآء الیوم الّذي وعدتم به في کلّ الألواح اتّقوا الله ولا تجعلوا أنفسکم محرومات عن الّذي خلقتم له أن أسرعوا إلیه هذا خیر لکم عمّا خلق في الأرض إن أنتم من العارفین
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Go thou straight on and persevere in His service. Say: O people! The Day, promised unto you in all the Scriptures, is now come. Fear ye God, and withhold not yourselves from recognizing the One Who is the Object of your creation. Hasten ye unto Him. Better is this for you than the world and all that is therein. Would that ye could perceive it!
