قلم اعلی در کلّ احیان بکمال روح و ریحان اولیای حقّ را ذکر نموده و متذکّر داشته طوبی از برای نفسی که شئونات مختلفهٴ دنیا او را از مطلع نور توحید منع ننموده باستقامت تمام باسم قیّوم از رحیق مختوم آشامیده انّه من اهل الفردوس فی کتاب الله ربّ العالمین...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The Pen of the Most High hath, at all times and under all conditions, remembered, with joy and tenderness, His loved ones, and hath counseled them to follow in His way. Well is it with him whom the changes and chances of this world have failed to deter from recognizing the Dayspring of the Unity of God, who hath quaffed, with unswerving resolve, and in the name of the Self-Subsisting, the sealed wine of His Revelation. Such a man shall be numbered with the inmates of Paradise, in the Book of God, the Lord of all worlds.
