Baha'i Faith
The Baha'i Faith is a religion that emphasises the spiritual unity of all humankind. It was founded by Baha'u'llah in the nineteenth-century Persia and it has a following of around six million people all over the world.
The founder of Baha'i faith Baha'u'llah established the guidelines for observing fast in his religious book Kitab-i-Aqdas. According to this book, fasting is observed from sunrise to sunset during the Baha'i month of 'Ala' which coincides with the month of March.
Observing the fast is an individual obligation, and all Baha'is who have reached the age of maturity are supposed to fast. In Baha'i faith, fasting means complete abstinence from food, drink and smoking.
