Source (Arabic)
ولا يعرفون قد وقعت الواقعة وهم عنها يفرّون وجآئت الحَاقَّة وهم عنها مُعرضون هذا يوم يهرب فيه كلّ مرءٍ من نفسه وكيف ذوي القُربى لو أنتم تفقهون قل تاللّه قد نفخ في الصّور ونرى النّاس هم منصعقون وصاح الصّآئح ونادى المنادِ المُلك للّه المقتدر المهيمن القيّوم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The thing that must come hath come suddenly; behold how they flee from it! The inevitable hath come to pass; witness how they have cast it behind their backs! This is the Day whereon every man will fly from himself, how much more from his kindred, could ye but perceive it. Say: By God! The blast hath been blown on the trumpet, and lo, mankind hath swooned away before us! The Herald hath cried out, and the Summoner raised His voice saying: “The Kingdom is God’s, the Most Powerful, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.”
