The Day of Perfection

Kamal (Perfection), 2 Kalimat (Words) 177 B.E. - Monday, July 13, 2020

"All praise be to Thee, O my God, for the things Thou didst ordain for me through Thy decree and by the power of Thy sovereignty. I beseech Thee that Thou wilt fortify both myself and them that love me in our love for Thee, and wilt keep us firm in Thy Cause. I swear by Thy might! O my God! Thy servant’s shame is to be shut out as by a veil from Thee, and his glory is to know Thee. Armed with the power of Thy name nothing can ever hurt me, and with Thy love in my heart all the world’s afflictions can in no wise alarm me.

Send down, therefore, O my Lord, upon me and upon my loved ones that which will protect us from the mischief of those that have repudiated Thy truth and disbelieved in Thy signs.

Thou art, verily, the All-Glorious, the Most Bountiful."

Bahá’u’lláh12

This is the Day of Perfection,
the Day of the Glory of God,
the Day of the Blessed Beauty,
He revealed prayers of protection
and the words of salvation
for humanity.

This is the Day of Perfection,
the day of Baha'u'llah--
who is God's latest Manifestation--
who has come to unite humanity.
