Source (Arabic)
و مینمائیم دوستان را که از آنچه رائحهٴ فساد استشمام میشود اجتناب نمایند بل فرار اختیار کنند عالم منقلب است و افکار عباد مختلف نسأل الله أن یزیّنهم بنور عدله ویعرّفهم ما ینفعهم فی کلّ الأحوال إنّه هو الغنیّ المتعال
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Time and again have We admonished Our beloved ones to avoid, nay to flee from, anything whatsoever from which the odor of mischief can be detected. The world is in great turmoil, and the minds of its people are in a state of utter confusion. We entreat the Almighty that He may graciously illuminate them with the glory of His Justice, and enable them to discover that which will be profitable unto them at all times and under all conditions. He, verily is the All-Possessing, the Most High.
