Source (Arabic)
الیوم هر نفسی شبهات خلق او را از حقّ منع ننمود و ضوضاء علما و سطوة امرا او را محجوب نساخت او از آیات کبری لدی الله مالک الوری محسوب و در کتاب الهی از قلم اعلی مسطور طوبی لمن فاز بها و عرف شأنها و مقامها
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Whoso hath, in this Day, refused to allow the doubts and fancies of men to turn him away from Him Who is the Eternal Truth, and hath not suffered the tumult provoked by the ecclesiastical and secular authorities to deter him from recognizing His Message, such a man will be regarded by God, the Lord of all men, as one of His mighty signs, and will be numbered among them whose names have been inscribed by the Pen of the Most High in His Book. Blessed is he that hath recognized the true stature of such a soul, that hath acknowledged its station, and discovered its virtues.
