Source (Arabic)
قل یا ملأ المغلّین موتوا بغیظکم قد أشرقت شمس العظمة عن أفق الأمر واستضآء بضیائها کلّ الوجود وأنتم غفلتم عنها وکنتم من الغافلین إِذًا فارحموا علی أنفسکم ولا تکفروا بالّذي آمنتم به ولا تکوننّ من المسرفین
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: O ye that envy Me and seek My hurt! The fury of your wrath against Me confound you! Lo, the Daystar of Glory hath risen above the horizon of My Revelation, and enveloped with its radiance the whole of mankind. And yet, behold how ye have shut out yourselves from its splendor and are sunk in utter heedlessness. Have mercy upon yourselves, and repudiate not the claim of Him Whose truth ye have already recognized, and be not of them that transgress.
