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’)
