Bahá : Splendor

"There arose the houri, Who had dwelt in pre-eternity in the pavilions of holiness... She looked with [a] glance toward the earth, and it was illumined by the lights of Her beauty and the loveliness of Her splendor." ~ Baha'u'llah, Tablet of the Maiden.

Jalál : Glory

"O SON OF MAN! Thou art My dominion and My dominion perisheth not; wherefore fearest thou thy perishing? Thou art My light and My light shall never be extinguished; why dost thou dread extinction? Thou art My glory and My glory fadeth not; thou art My robe and My robe shall never be outworn. Abide then in thy love for Me, that thou mayest find Me in the realm of glory."  ~Baha'u'llah, Arabic hidden word #14

Jamál : Beauty

“I know not, O my God, what the Fire is which Thou didst kindle in Thy land…  I beseech Thee, O my God, by this Fire which blazeth and rageth in the world of creation, to rend asunder the veils that have hindered me from appearing before the throne of Thy majesty…” ~Baha’u’llah, from Compilation on Detachment

Nur : Light 

"And while washing his face let him say:  I have turned my face unto Thee, O my Lord! Illumine it with the light of Thy countenance. Protect it, then, from turning to anyone but Thee." ~Baha'u'llah, Excerpt from medium obligatory prayer.

Kamál : Perfection

"We have seen that movement is essential to existence; nothing that has life is without motion. All creation, whether of the mineral, vegetable or animal kingdom, is compelled to obey the law of motion; it must either ascend or descend. But with the human soul, there is no decline. Its only movement is towards perfection; growth and progress alone constitute the motion of the soul. Divine perfection is infinite, therefore the progress of the soul is also infinite." ~Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, pg. 26.

Sulṭán : Sovereignty

"We cannot limit God to a boundary. Man is limited, but the world of Divinity is unlimited. Prescribing limitation to God is human ignorance. God is the Ancient, the Almighty; His attributes are infinite. He is God because His light, His sovereignty, is infinite. If He can be limited to human ideas, He is not God.”  ~Abdu'l-Baha, Promulgation of Universal Peace, pgs 272 & 274

Asmá : Names

"Tear ye asunder the veils of names and cleave ye their kingdom. By My Beauty! He Who is the Monarch of all names is come, He at Whose bidding every single name hath, from the beginning that hath no beginning, been created, He Who shall continue to create them as He pleaseth. He, verily, is the All-Powerful, the All-Wise." ~Baha'u'llah (Gleanings, 255-259)

Aẓamat : Grandeur

"O thou who swimmest in the sea of meaning, at this time the ocean of
 grandeur hath billowed forth in My name, the All-Glorious, and casteth 
up for all contingent beings the pearls of the mention of thy Lord... Would that We could find a trustworthy soul into whose
 keeping We could give them, or a man of keen sight, to whom We could
show them..."   ~Baha'u'llah, [excerpt from the Surah of
 Sorrows]

Ilm : Knowledge

"We have decreed, O people, that the highest and last end of all learning be the recognition of Him Who is the Object of all knowledge; and yet behold how ye have allowed your learning to shut you out, as by a veil, from Him Who is the Dayspring of this Light, through Whom every hidden thing hath been revealed."  ~Baha'u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, pg 129.

Izzat : Might

"...And when I behold the sea, I find that it speaketh to me of Thy majesty, and of the potency of Thy might, and of Thy sovereignty and Thy grandeur..."  ~Baha'u'llah, (Prayers and Meditations, pg 272)

Jalál : Glory 

"O ye that circle the throne of glory! Hearken unto My Call which is raised from the midst of the Burning Bush, `Verily I am God and there is none other God but Me'." ~ Selections from the Writings of the Bab.
