Source (Persian)
چنانچه اليوم مشاهده می شود که چه مقدار ردّ بر اين امر بديع، علمای جاهل عصر نوشتهاند و گمان نمودهاند که اين مفتريّات مطابق آيات کتاب و موافق کلمات اولی الالباب است.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The same may be witnessed today. Consider how abundant are the denunciations written by the foolish divines of this age against this most wondrous Cause! How vain their imaginings that these calumnies are in conformity with the verses of God’s sacred Book, and in consonance with the utterances of men of discernment!
