Source (Arabic)
لُّها وَالسَّماءُ وَما فِيْها وَالأَرْضُ وَمَنْ عَلَيْها، وَبِها انْقَلَبَتْ حَقائِقُ الوُجُودِ وَاخْتَلَفَتْ وَتَفَرَّقَتْ وَانْفَصَلَتْ وَائْتَلَفَتْ وَاجْتَمَعَتْ وَظَهَرَتِ الْكلِماتُ التَّكوِينِيَّةُ فِي عالَمِ المُلْكَ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ وَالظُّهُوراتُ الْوَاحِدِيَّةُ فِي عالَمِ الْجَبَرُوتِ وَالآياتُ الأَحَدِيَّةُ فِي عَالَمِ اللاَّهُوتِ، وَبِذلِكَ النِّداءِ بَشَّرْتَ الْعِبادَ بِظُهُورِكَ الأ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I testify that no sooner had the First Word proceeded, through the potency of Thy will and purpose, out of His mouth, and the First Call gone forth from His lips than the whole creation was revolutionized, and all that are in the heavens and all that are on earth were stirred to the depths. Through that Word the realities of all created things were shaken, were divided, separated, scattered, combined and reunited, disclosing, in both the contingent world and the heavenly kingdom, entities of a new creation, and revealing, in the unseen realms, the signs and tokens of Thy unity and oneness. Through that Call Thou didst announce unto all Thy servants the advent of Thy most great Revelation and the appearance of Thy most perfect Cause.
