Source (Arabic)
والنّبأ العظيم قد أتى الرّحمن بسلطان مبين ووضع الميزان وحشر من على الأرض أجمعين قد نفخ في الصّور إذًا سُكِّرَت الأبصار واضطرب من في السّموات والأرضين إلّا من أخذته نفحات الآيات وانقطع عن العالمين هذا يوم فيه تحدّث
Shoghi Effendi Translation
By Him Who is the Great Announcement! The All-Merciful is come invested with undoubted sovereignty. The Balance hath been appointed, and all them that dwell on earth have been gathered together. The Trumpet hath been blown, and lo, all eyes have stared up with terror, and the hearts of all who are in the heavens and on the earth have trembled, except them whom the breath of the verses of God hath quickened, and who have detached themselves from all things.
