Kitáb-i-Íqán — §265

Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 265 of 291.

Source (Persian)

حال قدری تفکّر نمائيد، آيا چنين تصرّف و احاطه از احدی در امکان ظاهر شده؟ و جميع اين قلوب منزّهه و نفوس مقدّسه به کمال رضا در موارد قضا شتافتند و در مواقع شکايت، جز شُکر از ايشان ظاهر نه و در مواطن بلا، جز رضا از ايشان مشهود نه. و اين رتبه هم معلوم است که کلّ اهل ارض چه مقدار غلّ و بغض و عداوت به اين اصحاب داشتند. چنانچه اذيّت و ايذای آن طلعات قدسی معنوی را علّت فوز و رستگاری و سبب فلاح و نجاح ابدی می دانستند. آيا هرگز در هيچ تاريخی از عهد آدم تا حال چنين غوغائی در بلاد واقع شد و آيا چنين ضوضائی در ميان عباد ظاهر گشت؟ و با اين همه ايذاء و اذيّت، محلّ لعن جميع ناس شدند و محلّ ملامت جميع عباد. و گويا صبر در عالم کون از اصطبارشان ظاهر شد و وفا در ارکان عالم از فعلشان موجودگشت.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Reflect: Who in this world is able to manifest such transcendent power, such pervading influence? All these stainless hearts and sanctified souls have, with absolute resignation, responded to the summons of His decree. Instead of complaining, they rendered thanks unto God, and amidst the darkness of their anguish they revealed naught but radiant acquiescence to His will. It is evident how relentless was the hate, and how bitter the malice and enmity entertained by all the peoples of the earth towards these companions. The persecution and pain they inflicted on these holy and spiritual beings were regarded by them as means unto salvation, prosperity, and everlasting success. Hath the world, since the days of Adam, witnessed such tumult, such violent commotion? Notwithstanding all the torture they suffered, and manifold the afflictions they endured, they became the object of universal opprobrium and execration. Methinks patience was revealed only by virtue of their fortitude, and faithfulness itself was begotten only by their deeds.
