Source (Arabic)
الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ، إِذْ أَخَذَ سُكْرُ خَمْرِ الآيَاتِ مَظْهَرَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَخَتَمَ الْبَيَانَ بِذِكْرِ إِنَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنَا الْمُتَعَالِي الْمُقْتَدِرُ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلاَّمُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Such is the inebriating effect of the words of God upon Him Who is the Revealer of His undoubted proofs, that His Pen can move no longer. With these words He concludeth His Tablet: “No God is there but Me, the Most Exalted, the Most Powerful, the Most Excellent, the All-Knowing.”
