Morning
I swear by the most holy Essence of God—exalted and glorified be He—that in the Day of the appearance of Him Whom God shall make manifest a thousand perusals of the Bayán cannot equal the perusal of a single verse to be revealed by Him Whom God shall make manifest… And know thou of a certainty that every letter revealed in the Bayán is solely intended to evoke submission unto Him Whom God shall make manifest, for it is He Who hath revealed the Bayán prior to His Own manifestation.
- The Báb (From the Persian Bayán; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb’)
Evening
All praise be unto God, Who hath revealed the law of obligatory prayer as a reminder to His servants, and enjoined on them the Fast that those possessed of means may become apprised of the woes and sufferings of the destitute.
- Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet; compilation: The Importance of
Obligatory Prayer and Fasting, prepared by the Research Department of the
Universal House of Justice)
