 The symbols of the religion are derived from the Arabic word Bahá ’ ( بهاء " splendor " or " glory " ) , with a numerical value of 9 , which is why the most common symbol is the nine @-@ pointed star . The <unk> symbol and calligraphy of the Greatest Name are also often encountered . The former consists of two five @-@ pointed stars interspersed with a stylized Bahá ’ whose shape is meant to recall the three <unk> , while the latter is a calligraphic rendering of the phrase <unk> Bahá <unk> @-@ <unk> ( يا بهاء <unk> " O Glory of the Most Glorious ! " ) .
