Source (Arabic)
وَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِيْ بِمَنِّكَ هَدَيْتَهُمْ وَسَمَّيْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِالرَّحْمنِ، لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ العَزِيزُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou art, verily, He Whose grace hath guided them aright, He Who hath declared Himself to be the All-Merciful. No God is there but Thee, the All-Glorious, the Supreme Helper.
