Source (Arabic)
ما در هر کجا باشیم و هر چه بر ما وارد شود باید حزب الله بکمال استقامت و اطمینان بافق اعلی ناظر باشند و باصلاح عالم و تربیت امم مشغول گردند آنچه وارد شده و بشود سبب و علّت ارتفاع امر بوده و هست خذوا امر الله و تمسّکوا به انّه نزل من لدن آمر حکیم با کمال شفقت و رحمت اهل عالم را به ما ینتفع به انفسهم دلالت کردیم و راه نمودیم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
To whatever place We may be banished, however great the tribulation We may suffer, they who are the people of God must, with fixed resolve and perfect confidence, keep their eyes directed towards the Dayspring of Glory, and be busied in whatever may be conducive to the betterment of the world and the education of its peoples. All that hath befallen Us in the past hath advanced the interests of Our Revelation and blazoned its fame; and all that may befall Us in the future will have a like result. Cling ye, with your inmost hearts, to the Cause of God, a Cause that hath been sent down by Him Who is the Ordainer, the All-Wise. We have, with the utmost kindliness and mercy, summoned and directed all peoples and nations to that which shall truly profit them.
