Know thou that religion is as heaven; and fasting and
obligatory prayer are its sun and its moon. We entreat God, exalted and
glorified be He, to graciously aid everyone who acteth according to His will
and good-pleasure.
- Baha’u’llah (Compilation ‘The Importance of Obligatory
Prayer and Fasting’, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal House
of Justice)
