Be not neglectful of obligatory prayer and fasting. He who
faileth to observe them hath not been nor will ever be acceptable in the sight
of God. Follow ye wisdom under all conditions. He, verily, hath bidden all to
observe that which hath been and will be of profit to them. He, in truth, is
the All-Sufficing, the Most High.
- Baha’u’llah (Compilation: ‘The Importance
of Obligatory Prayer and Fasting’, prepared by Research Department of the
