Source (Arabic)
قرئتم القرآن فاقرئوا لعلّ تجدون الحقّ إنّه لصراط مستقيم هذا صراط اللّه لمن في السّموات والأرضين إن نسيتم القرآن ليس البيان عنكم ببعيد إنّه بين أيديكم أن اقرئوه لعلّ لا ترتكبوا ما ينوح به المرسلون قوموا من الأجداث إلى متى ترقدون
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: Perused ye not the Qur’án? Read it, that haply ye may find the Truth, for this Book is verily the Straight Path. This is the Way of God unto all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth. If ye have been careless of the Qur’án, the Bayán cannot be regarded to be remote from you. Behold it open before your eyes. Read ye its verses, that perchance ye may desist from committing that which will cause the Messengers of God to mourn and lament.
