Source (Persian)
* انظروا فی هذه الايّام الّتی اتی جمال القدم بالاسم الاعظم لحياة العالم و اتّحادهم انّهم قاموا عليه باسياف شاحذة و ارتکبوا ما فزع به الرّوح الامين * الی ان جعلوه مسجونا فی اخرب البلاد و انقطعت عن ذيله ايادی المقبلين * اذا قيل لهم اتی مصلح العالم قالوا قد تحقّق انّه من المفسدين مع انّهم ما عاشروه و يرون انّه ما حفظ نفسه فی اقلّ من حين کان فی کلّ الاحيان بين ايادی اهل الطّغيان * مرّة حبسوه و طورا اخرجوه و تارّة اداروا به البلاد * کذلک حکموا علينا و اللّه بما اقول عليم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
"Consider these days in which He Who is the Ancient Beauty hath come in the Most Great Name, that He may quicken the world and unite its peoples. They, however, rose up against Him with sharpened swords, and committed that which caused the Faithful Spirit to lament, until in the end they imprisoned Him in the most desolate of cities, and broke the grasp of the faithful upon the hem of His robe. Were anyone to tell them: ‘The World Reformer is come,' they would answer and say: ‘Indeed it is proven that He is a fomenter of discord!', and this notwithstanding that they have never associated with Him, and have perceived that He did not seek, for one moment, to protect Himself. At all times He was at the mercy of the wicked doers. At one time they cast Him into prison, at another they banished Him, and at yet another hurried Him from land to land. Thus have they pronounced judgment against Us, and God, truly, is aware of what I say."
