Source (Arabic)
(٦٤) ﴿ يَا ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ ﴾
أَزَلِيَّتي إِبْداعِي أَبْدَعْتُها لَكَ، فَاجْعَلْها رِداءً لِهَيْكَلِكَ. وَأَحَدِيَّتي إِحْداثي اخْتَرَعْتُها لأَجْلِكَ، فَاجْعَلْها قَمِيصَ نَفْسِكَ لِتَكُونَ مَشْرِقَ قَيُّومِيَّتِي إِلى الأَبَدِ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(64) O SON OF MAN!
My eternity is My creation, I have created it for thee. Make it the garment of thy temple. My unity is My handiwork; I have wrought it for thee; clothe thyself therewith, that thou mayest be to all eternity the revelation of My everlasting being.
