Feast of Jamál
April 28th, 2009
Praise be unto God, incomparable in majesty, power and beauty, peerless in glory, might and grandeur; too high is He for human imaginations to comprehend Him or for any peer or equal to be ascribed unto Him
~ Baha’u'llah, Tablets of Baha’u'llah, p. 101 (Tablet of Ishraqat)
Today is the Feast of Jalál which is the Persian word for beauty. The quote above reminds me that God is the most high—the most majestic, the most powerful, and the most beautiful. In fact, the beauty of God is so magnificent that we cannot even comprehend it, nor even imagine it. That leaves me in awe.
