Morning
These Tabernacles of holiness, these primal Mirrors which
reflect the light of unfading glory, are but expressions of Him Who is the
Invisible of the Invisibles. By the revelation of these gems of divine virtue
all the names and attributes of God, such as knowledge and power, sovereignty
and dominion, mercy and wisdom, glory, bounty and grace, are made manifest.
These attributes of God are not and have never been vouchsafed specially unto certain Prophets, and withheld from others. Nay, all the Prophets of God, His well-favoured, His holy, and chosen Messengers, are, without exception, the bearers of His names, and the embodiments of His attributes. They only differ in the intensity of their revelation, and the comparative potency of their light.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
Evening
The purpose underlying all creation is the revelation of this most sublime, this most holy Day, the Day known as the Day of God, in His Books and Scriptures—the Day which all the Prophets, and the Chosen Ones, and the holy ones, have wished to witness.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi
in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
