Bahá’

From Bahaikipedia

The symbols of the Bahá’í Faith derive their significance from the Arabic word Bahá’ (Arabic: بهاء), translated as "glory" or "splendour". It is the root word used in many other names and phrases:

Bahá’u’lláh often referred to Bahá’ís in his writings as "the people of Bahá’", and in addition, the Báb sent a tablet to Bahá’u’lláh with 360 derivatives of the word Bahá’, fulfilling a Shi'i Muslim tradition that the Promised One would reveal the secret "hundredth name of God".

Bahá’ís recite the phrase "Alláh'u'Abhá" 95 times per day, sometimes using prayer beads.
