Gleanings — Paragraph 303
Source (Arabic)
مثلاً ملاحظه کن در حین ظهور مظهر کلّیّه قبل از آنکه آن ذات قدم خود را بشناساند و بکلمهٴ امریّه تنطّق فرماید عالم بوده و معلومی با او نبوده و همچنین خالق بوده و مخلوقی با او نه چه که در آن حین قبض روح از کلّ ما یصدق علیه اسم شیء میشود و اینست آن یومی که میفرماید لمن الملک الیوم و نیست احدی مجیب...
Translation
Consider the hour at which the supreme Manifestation of God revealeth Himself unto men. Ere that hour cometh, the Ancient Being, Who is still unknown of men and hath not as yet given utterance to the Word of God, is Himself the All-Knower in a world devoid of any man that hath known Him. He is indeed the Creator without a creation. For at the very moment preceding His Revelation, each and every created thing shall be made to yield up its soul to God. This is indeed the Day of which it hath been written: “Whose shall be the Kingdom this Day?” And none can be found ready to answer!
