Source (Arabic)
أَجْتَذِبُ الْقُلُوبَ بِنِدَاءِ الْمَحْبُوبِ، قُلْ هَذَا لَحْنُ اللهِ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ، وَهَذَا مَطْلِعُ وَحِيِ اللهِ لَوْ أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ، وَهَذَا مَشْرِقُ أَمْرِ اللهِ لَوْ أَنْتُمْ تُوقِنُونَ، وَهَذَا مَبْدَأُ حُكْمِ اللهِ لَوْ أَنْتُمْ تُنْصِفُونَ، هَذَا لَهُوَ السِّرُّ الظَّاهِرُ الْمَسْتُورُ لَوْ أَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ، قُلْ يَا مَلأَ الإِنْشَاءِ دَعُوا مَا عِنْدَكُمْ بِاسْمِيَ الْمُهَيْمِنِ عَلَى الأَسْمَاءِ وَتَغَمَّسُوا فِي هَذَا الْبَحْرِ الَّذِي فِيْهِ سُتِرَ لَئَالِئُ الْحِكْمَةِ وَالتِّبْيَانِ وَتَمَوَّجَ بِاسْمِيَ الرَّحْمنِ، كَذَلِكَ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Attract the hearts of men, through the call of Him, the one alone Beloved. Say: This is the Voice of God, if ye do but hearken. This is the Dayspring of the Revelation of God, did ye but know it. This is the Dawning-Place of the Cause of God, were ye to recognize it. This is the Source of the commandment of God, did ye but judge it fairly. This is the manifest and hidden Secret; would that ye might perceive it. O peoples of the world! Cast away, in My name that transcendeth all other names, the things ye possess, and immerse yourselves in this Ocean in whose depths lay hidden the pearls of wisdom and of utterance, an ocean that surgeth in My name, the All-Merciful. Thus instructeth you He with Whom is the Mother Book.
