Source (Arabic)
من المحترقين قل يا قوم لا ترتكبوا ما يضيّع بهحرمتكم وحرمة الأمر بين العباد وتكوننّ من المفسدين ولا تقربوا ما ينكره عقولكم أن اجتنبوا الإثم وإنّه حرّم عليكم في كتاب الّذي لن يمسّه إلّا
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: Commit not, O people, that which will bring shame upon you or dishonor the Cause of God in the eyes of men, and be not of the mischief-makers. Approach not the things which your minds condemn. Eschew all manner of wickedness, for such things are forbidden unto you in the Book which none touch except such as God hath cleansed from every taint of guilt, and numbered among the purified.
