Mashíyyat is the eleventh month of the Baha’i calendar, and is name translates to Will. Mashíyyat represents the omnipresent Will of God—the primal force through which all things are created out of nothingness. Spiritually, Mashíyyat is a time for quelling the insistent self, in order to align completely with God’s purpose and the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh.
