Jamal (Beauty), 7 Izzat (Might) 177 B.E. - Sunday, September 13, 2020 "All glory be to this Day, the Day in which the fragrances of mercy have been wafted over all created things, a Day so blest that past ages and centuries can never hope to rival it, a Day in which the countenance of the Ancient of Days hath turned towards His holy seat. Thereupon the voices of all created things, and beyond them those of the Concourse on High, were heard calling aloud: "Haste thee, O Carmel, for lo, the light of the countenance of God, the Ruler of the Kingdom of Names and Fashioner of the heavens, hath been lifted upon thee.”" Today's Blessing The tidings descend from Mount Carmel: Oh, People of Earth rejoice! Declare the joyful tidings, A new vision of unity-- You are the fruits of one tree-- Shout the news to humanity. Behold the new Jerusalem Lighting the crest of Mount Carmel Expressing God's love for His creation-- Sing out all creation,, Sing out Concourse on High-- Intone your gratitude to the All-Glorious Lord Now is the time of justice and unity, Great is the blessedness of this day.
