The Greatest Name

Looking up to the top of the cupola of the Bahai temple in Langenhain, Germany. The only Bahai temple in the whole of Europe.

 

The calligraphy in the center is a rendering of the "Greatest Name" an arabic phrase translating to "Oh Glory of the Most Glorious" and their founder.

 

The number nine plays an essential role in their beliefs. Thus, it is also represented in the architecture of the cupola with nine segments and further sub-divisions.
