عَلَى هذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِيْ أَخَذْتَ عَهْدَها مِنْ أَنْبِيائِكَ وَرُسُلِكَ وَنَزَّلْتَ حُكْمَها فِي أَلْواحِكَ وَصُحُفِكَ، ثُمَّ أَصْعِدْهُمْ إِلى مَقامِ الَّذِيْ يُمَيِّزُونَ نِدائَكَ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Gather them, then, together around this Divine Law, the covenant of which Thou hast established with all Thy Prophets and Thy Messengers, and Whose ordinances Thou hast written down in Thy Tablets and Thy Scriptures. Raise them up, moreover, to such heights as will enable them to perceive Thy Call.
