Source (Arabic)
قُمْ بَشِّرِ الإِمْكَانَ بِمَا تَوَجَّهَ الرَّحْمنُ إِلَى الرِّضْوَانِ ثُمَّ اهْدِ النَّاسَ إِلى الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي جَعَلَها اللهُ عَرْشَ الْجِنَانِ، إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ الصُّورَ الأَعْظَمَ لِحَيوَةِ الْعَالَمِينَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Arise, and proclaim unto the entire creation the tidings that He Who is the All-Merciful hath directed His steps towards the Riḍván and entered it. Guide, then, the people unto the garden of delight which God hath made the Throne of His Paradise. We have chosen thee to be our most mighty Trumpet, whose blast is to signalize the resurrection of all mankind.
