Source (Persian)
و در مقام ديگر * يا ملأ الارض سارعوا الی مرضاة اللّه و جاهدوا حقّ الجهاد فی اظهار امره المبرم المتين * قد قدّرنا الجهاد فی سبيل اللّه بجنود الحکمة و البيان و بالاخلاق و الاعمال کذلک قضی الامر من لدن قویّ قدير * ليس الفخر لمن يفسد فی الارض بعد اصلاحها اتّقوا اللّه يا قوم و لا تکونوا من الظّالمين *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
And in another connection: "O peoples of the earth! Haste ye to do the pleasure of God, and war ye valiantly, as it behooveth you to war, for the sake of proclaiming His resistless and immovable Cause. We have decreed that war shall be waged in the path of God with the armies of wisdom and utterance, and of a goodly character and praiseworthy deeds. Thus hath it been decided by Him Who is the All-Powerful, the Almighty. There is no glory for him that committeth disorder on the earth after it hath been made so good. Fear God, O people, and be not of them that act unjustly."
