Kitáb-i-Íqán — §272
Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 272 of 291.
Source (Persian)
حال اين روايت را ملاحظه نمائيد که چگونه از قبل جميع امورات را اخبار فرمودهاند. در "اربعين" ذکر فرموده:
"يَظهَرُ مِن بَنی هاشِمٍ صَبّیٌ ذُو احکامٍ جَديدٍ فَيَدعو النّاسَ وَلَم يُجِبْهُ اَحَدٌ وَاَکثَرُ اعدائِهِ العُلَماءُ فإذا حَکَمَ بِشَیءٍ لَم يُطيعُوه فَيَقُولُونَ هذا خلافُ ما عِندَنا مِن اَئِمَّةِ الدّين" إلی آخر الحديث. چنانچه اليوم جميع همين کلمات را اعاده می نمايند و شاعر بر اين نشده که آن حضرت بر عرش يَفعَلُ ما يَشاء جالسند و بر کرسيّ يَحکُمُ ما يُريد ساکن.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
And now, consider this other tradition, and observe how all these things have been foretold. In “Arbá’in” it is recorded: “Out of Baní-Háshim there shall come forth a Youth Who shall reveal new laws. He shall summon the people unto Him, but none will heed His call. Most of His enemies will be the divines. His bidding they will not obey, but will protest saying: ‘This is contrary to that which hath been handed down unto us by the Imáms of the Faith.’” In this day, all are repeating these very same words, utterly unaware that He is established upon the throne of “He doeth whatsoever He willeth,” and abideth upon the seat of “He ordaineth whatsoever He pleaseth.”
