To observe the Fast with purity of motive attracts divine
confirmations and leads to the awakening and cleansing of the heart.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá writes, “Blessed are they who have observed the fast during its
appointed month, who have gathered together in perfect unity and harmony, have
freed themselves from the insinuations of doubt and stood firm in the
Covenant.”
