Morning
We call to mind at this juncture Muhammad-‘Alí,[1] whose
flesh was mingled with that of his Master, his blood with His blood, his body
with His body, and his bones with those of his Lord, the Exalted, the
Bountiful. My Supreme Pen testifieth that he attained what no one had attained
before him, and there befell him that which no ear had heard. Upon him be My
glory, and the glory of My Kingdom and My Realm on high, and the splendour of
the dwellers of the city of justice and equity.
Blessed art thou, O Muhammad, in that thou hast drunk from the wine of utterance proffered by thy Lord, the All-Merciful. Thus hath the Sun of divine proofs shed its light from the horizon of the blessings of Thy God, the Lord of all mankind.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Additional Tablets and Extracts from Tablets
Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh’; Baha’i Reference Library of the Baha’i World Center)

Evening
Let my food, O my Lord, be Thy beauty, and my drink the light of Thy presence, and my hope Thy pleasure, and my work Thy praise, and my companion Thy remembrance, and my aid Thy sovereignty, and my dwelling-place Thy habitation, and my home the seat which Thou hast exalted above the limitations of them that are shut out as by a veil from Thee.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
