Source (Arabic)
قل يا قوم، هل ينبغي لأحد أن ينسب نفسه إلی ربّه الرّحمن ويرتكب في نفسه ما يرتكبه الشّيطان لا فو طلعة السّبحان لو أنتم من العارفين
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: Doth it beseem a man while claiming to be a follower of his Lord, the All-Merciful, he should yet in his heart do the very deeds of the Evil One? Nay, it ill beseemeth him, and to this He Who is the Beauty of the All-Glorious will bear Me witness. Would that ye could comprehend it!
