Bahai Provisions: A Rehash Of Bayan
4. Ninety Five Times
P.26: “… praise God ninety-five times …”.
Ninety five referred to here derives its authority from Al-Bayan, which was the name first applied to god, when god revealed in the Bayan “verily there is no god but Me, Al-Wáhid Al-Bayan.”
All the mystery of the Bayan is manifest in this name; because the numerical value of Al-Bayan (=94) plus the Unity (Wáhid without number, i.e. 1) corresponds to the value of “for god” (li-llah = 95), so that the Bayan becomes a mirror for the Point of the Bayan (i.e. the Primal Point), who is a mirror for god, as well as for Him-Whom-God-Will-Make-Manifest, who is a mirror for god. In fact Letters of the One (Hurruf-i-Wáhid = 19) multiplied by the number of the BÁB (=5) yields 95, the cipher “for god”. But letters for the One are referable to the Point of the Bayan (Persian Bayan, Wáhid III, BÁB 17).
