Source (Arabic)
والجان قل أَفِي اللّه شكّ ها إنّه قد أتى عن مطلع الفضل بقدرة وسلطان أم في آياته أن افتحُوا الأبصار إنّ هذا لهو البرهان قد أُزْلِفَت الجنّة عن اليمين وَسُعِّرَت الجحيم وتلك هي النّيران أن ادخلوا الجنّة رحمة من عندنا واشربوا فيها خمر الحيوان من يد
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: Is there any doubt concerning God? Behold how He hath come down from the heaven of His grace, girded with power and invested with sovereignty. Is there any doubt concerning His signs? Open ye your eyes, and consider His clear evidence. Paradise is on your right hand, and hath been brought nigh unto you, while Hell hath been made to blaze. Witness its devouring flame. Haste ye to enter into Paradise, as a token of Our mercy unto you, and drink ye from the hands of the All-Merciful the Wine that is life indeed.
