English
Praise be to God who has caused the sun to shine through His power and light to gleam through His might [3.5s]... ...O this Temple! We created thee according to these Most Beautiful Names. And We made thee the Pleroma (kulli shay', "All Things") amongst the [Divine] Names which alluded unto Us by means of the mention of "Huwa" … In another station, the names are garments for the attributes... If thou art able to separate anything in heaven or on earth and marry all of it together again
abstract An intricate commentary on the names and attributes of God, taking as point of departure a statement by the Báb which relates ‘His sacred mirror and eternal light’ to the name of God huwa (‘He’), which has an inner and outer aspect signifying both the unity of opposites and the alchemical fire and water attained of old by the prophet Moses.
