My God, my Fire and my Light! The days which
Thou hast named the Ayyam-i-Ha (the Days of Ha, Intercalary days) in Thy Book
have begun, O Thou Who art the King of names, and the fast which Thy most
exalted Pen hath enjoined unto all who are in the kingdom of Thy creation to
observe is approaching. I entreat Thee, O my Lord, by these days and by all
such as have during that period clung to the cord of Thy commandments, and laid
hold on the handle of Thy precepts, to grant that unto every soul may be
assigned a place within the precincts of Thy court, and a seat at the
revelation of the splendors of the light of Thy countenance.
(Baha'u'llah, ‘Prayers
and Meditations by Baha'u'llah’)
