Kitáb-i-Íqán — §176

Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 176 of 291.

Source (Persian)

با اينکه همه انبياء و اصفياء و اولياء من عنداللّه امر فرمودند که به چشم و گوش خود بشنوند و ملاحظه نمايند مع ذلک معتنی به نصح انبياء نگشته تابع علمای خود بوده و خواهند بود. و اگر مسکينی و يا فقيری که عاری از لباس اهل علم باشد بگويد: "يَا قَومِ اتَّبِعُوا المُرسَلِينَ" ، جواب گويند که اين همه علماء و فضلاء با اين رياست ظاهره و البسه مقطّعه لطيفه نفهميدهاند و حقّ را از باطل ادراک ننمودهاند و تو و امثال تو ادراک نموده ايد و نهايت تعجّب می نمايند از چنين قولی. با اينکه امم سلف اکثر و اعظم و اکبرند و اگر کثرت و لباس علم سبب و علّت علم و صدق باشد البتّه امم سابقه اولی واسبق اند.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Notwithstanding the divinely-inspired admonitions of all the Prophets, the Saints, and Chosen ones of God, enjoining the people to see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears, they have disdainfully rejected their counsels and have blindly followed, and will continue to follow, the leaders of their Faith. Should a poor and obscure person, destitute of the attire of men of learning, address them saying: “Follow ye, O people! the Messengers of God,” they would, greatly surprised at such a statement, reply: “What! Meanest thou that all these divines, all these exponents of learning, with all their authority, their pomp and pageantry, have erred, and failed to distinguish truth from falsehood? Dost thou, and people like thyself, pretend to have comprehended that which they have not understood?” If numbers and excellence of apparel be regarded as the criterions of learning and truth, the peoples of a bygone age, whom those of today have never surpassed in numbers, magnificence and power, should certainly be accounted a superior and worthier people.
