Kitáb-i-Íqán — §210
Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 210 of 291.
Source (Persian)
تفکّر در آيه مبارکه نموده تا معنی "وَ لا رَطْبٍ وَلا يَابِسٍ إلّا فی کِتَابٍ مُبينٍ" درست در لوح قلب ثبت شود. با وجود اين جمعی معتقد او شده و از موسی علم و عدل اعراض نموده به سامريّ جهل تمسّک جستهاند و از شمس معانی که در سماء لايزالی الهی مُشرق است معرض گشتهاند و کَأنْ لم يَکُن انگاشتهاند.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Ponder the blessed verse, so that the meaning of the words: “There is neither a thing green nor sere but it is noted in the unerring Book,” may be imprinted upon the tablet of thy heart. Notwithstanding, a multitude bear him allegiance. They have rejected the Moses of knowledge and justice, and clung to the Samírí of ignorance. They have turned away their eyes from the Day-star of truth which shineth in the divine and everlasting heaven, and have utterly ignored its splendour.
