Bahaismiran:

Fasting is one of the commandments existing in the divine religions. The Almighty God has stated in the holy Quran:

 

" کتب عَلَیْکُمُ الصِّیامُ کَما کُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِینَ مِنْ قَبْلِکُم..."

“…Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you…” [Al-Baqareh/183]

 

In order to pretend its faith to be divine the deviant cult of Baha’ism has considered fasting as one of its duties:

 

قدکتبناعلیکم الصیام ایامامعدودات[1] 

According to the Baha’i belief, each year is consisting of 19 months and each month includes 19 days[2]. They avoid eating and drinking in the last month of the year known as Al-A’ala since dawn to dusk.

Nevertheless; in the deviant cult of Baha’ism, fasting has special characteristics:

1)   Fasting is 19 days in Baha’ism[3]

2)   Bahaullah has appointed Nowrous (the new year) as the Baha’is Fetr Feast.[4]

3)   Climate is considered because it is near the new year.

4)   Fasting starts at dawn and ends at dusk:

5)    

"کفّوا انفسکم عن الاکل والشرب من الطلوع الی الافول"

“Avoid eating and drinking since dawn to dusk.[5]

 

Note:

Just eating and drinking cancel fasting.
