Morning
This is the garden of Paradise, wherein arise the anthems of God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting; wherein ascend the soul-entrancing melodies warbled by the Nightingale of Eternity upon the twigs of the Divine Lote-Tree; wherein abide the Maids of Heaven whom none hath touched save God, the All-Glorious, the Most Holy; and wherein lieth enshrined that which draweth the needy to the shores of the ocean of true wealth and guideth the people to the Word of God. And this, verily, is naught but the manifest truth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
Evening
By Thy name “He”! Verily Thou art “He”, O Thou Who art “He”!
[1]
O Monk of the Divine Unity! Ring out the bell, for the Day of the Lord is come and the Beauty of the All-Glorious hath ascended His blessed and resplendent throne. Praise be to Thee, O Thou Who art “He”, O Thou besides Whom there is none but “He”!
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
[1] In the Tafsír-i-Hú Bahá’u’lláh explains that the name
“He” (or Huva, consisting of the letters Há’ and Váv) is God’s Most Great Name,
for it is a mirror in which all of God’s names and attributes are reflected
together.
