Thou hast written about the Fast. This
is a most weighty matter and thou shouldst exert thine utmost in its
observance. It is a fundamental of the Divine law, and one of the pillars of
the religion of God.

Prayer and Fasting’, compiled by Research Department of the Universal House of

Baha'i, September 2000)
