Source (Arabic)
تالله الحقّ إن تکفروا بهذا الأمر فقد یضحک علیکم کلّ الملل لأنّکم استدللتم بینهم في إثبات أمرکم بآیات الله المهیمن المقتدر العزیز العلیم فلمّا نزلت مرّة أُخری بسلطنة عظمی إِذًا کفرتم بها فویل لکم یا ملأ الغافلین
Shoghi Effendi Translation
By the righteousness of the one true God! If ye reject this Revelation, all the nations of the earth will laugh you to scorn and mock you, for it is you that have produced, before their eyes, and for the purpose of vindicating the truth of your Cause, the testimonies of God, the Sovereign Protector, the Most Powerful, the All-Glorious, the All-Knowing. And yet, no sooner was His subsequent Revelation, clothed with the glory of an all-compelling sovereignty, sent down unto you, than ye cast it behind your backs, O ye that are numbered with the heedless ones!
