Source (Persian)
و همچنين ميفرمايد [ لا تحتجبنّ عن اللّه بعد ظهوره فانّ کلّ ما رفع البيان کخاتم فی يدی و انّی انا خاتم فی يدی من يظهره اللّه جلّ ذکره يقلّب کيف يشاء لما يشاء بما يشاء انّه لهو المهيمن المتعال ] و همچنين ميفرمايد [ فانّه لو يجعل ما علی الارض نبيّا ليکوننّ انبياء عند اللّه ] و همچنين ميفرمايد [ و اذا يوم ظهور من يظهره اللّه کلّ من علی الارض عنده سواء فمن يجعله نبيّا کان نبيّا من اوّل الّذی لا اوّل له الی آخر الّذي لا آخر له لانّ ذلک ممّا قد جعله اللّه و من يجعله وليّا فذلک ما کان وليّا فی کلّ العوالم فانّ ذلک ممّا قد جعله اللّه لانّ مشيّة اللّه لن يظهر الّا بمشيّته و ارادة اللّه لم يظهر الّا بارادته و انّه لهو القاهر المقتدر المنيع ] انتهی *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
And likewise, He saith: "Suffer not yourselves to be shut out as by a veil from God after He hath revealed Himself. For all that hath been exalted in the Bayán is but as a ring upon My hand, and I Myself am, verily, but a ring upon the hand of Him Whom God shall make manifest - glorified be His mention! He turneth it as He pleaseth, for whatsoever He pleaseth, and through whatsoever He pleaseth. He, verily, is the Help in Peril, the Most High." And likewise, He saith: "Were He to make of every one on earth a Prophet, all would, in very truth, be accounted as Prophets in the sight of God." And likewise, He saith: "In the day of the revelation of Him Whom God shall make manifest all that dwell on earth will be equal in His estimation. Whomsoever He ordaineth as a Prophet, he, verily, hath been a Prophet from the beginning that hath no beginning, and will thus remain until the end that hath no end, inasmuch as this is an act of God. And whosoever is made a Viceregent by Him, shall be a Viceregent in all the worlds, for this is an act of God. For the will of God can in no wise be revealed except through His will, nor His wish be manifested save through His wish. He, verily, is the All-Conquering, the All-Powerful, the All-Highest."
