5.    The Month of Baha
ibid, Risala, P.108, Mirza Husayn Ali says: “He [i.e. the Primal Point] has given new names to months, the first of which he has called after this name [i.e. Baha].”
The first month of the Bayani calendar year, Persian Bayan, Wáhid V, BÁB (chapter) 3, is called “Baha, and the first day [thereof, which is the Naw-Ruz] is the day of ‘there is no god but god’; the like of that day is as the “Point” in the Bayan, from which all are created, and unto which all return. And He hath made the manifestation thereof in the “Point”, the “Person of the Seven Letters” [i.e. the Primal Point], and made it the throne of “Him Whom God Will Make Manifest in this manifestation, for he it is the effulgent on this throne, and he it is the Reveler of verses in this manner.”
Mirza Husayn Ali’s one and only pretension to this passage is the word Baha, to which he pinned himself.
