Kitáb-i-Íqán — §181

Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 181 of 291.

Source (Persian)

بسيار تعجّب است که اين قوم در بعضی از مراتب که مطابق ميل و هوای ايشان است متمسّک به آيه منزله در فرقان و احاديث اولی الايقان می شوند و از بعضی که مغاير هوای ايشان است بالمرّه اعراض می نمايند."اَفَتُؤمِنُونَ بِبَعضِ الِکتَاب و تَکفُرُونَ بِبَعْضٍ. " ما لَکُم کيف تَحکُمُونَ ما لا تَشعُرُونَ؟ مثل آنکه در کتاب مبين، ربّ العالمين بعد از ذکر ختميّت فی قوله تعالی: "وَ لَکِنْ رَسُولَ اللّهِ وَ خَاتَمَ النّبيّينَ"، جميع ناس را به لقای خود وعده فرموده. چنانچه آيات مدلّه بر لقای آن مليک بقا در کتاب مذکور است و بعضی از قبل ذکر شده. و خدای واحد شاهد مقال است که هيچ امری اعظم از لقا و اصرح از آن در فرقان ذکر نيافته. فَهَنيئاً لِمَن فازَ بِهِ فی يَومٍ اَعْرَضَ عَنهُ اَکثَرُ النّاسِ کَما اَنتُم تَشهَدُونَ.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

How strange! These people with one hand cling to those verses of the Qur’án and those traditions of the people of certitude which they have found to accord with their inclinations and interests, and with the other reject those which are contrary to their selfish desires. “Believe ye then part of the Book, and deny part?” How could ye judge that which ye understand not? Even as the Lord of being hath in His unerring Book, after speaking of the “Seal” in His exalted utterance: “Muhammad is the Apostle of God and the Seal of the Prophets,” hath revealed unto all people the promise of “attainment unto the divine Presence.” To this attainment to the presence of the immortal King testify the verses of the Book, some of which We have already mentioned. The one true God is My witness! Nothing more exalted or more explicit than “attainment unto the divine Presence” hath been revealed in the Qur’án. Well is it with him that hath attained thereunto, in the day wherein most of the people, even as ye witness, have turned away therefrom.
