The leadership foundation of Baha’ism called the universal house of justice has rejected the existence of a feast called “fasting feast” while the original resources of Baha’ism have repeatedly spoken about fasting feast in Baha’ism.
Several day before Nowrouz a Baha’i network spoke about a feat which resemble Fetr feast of Muslims called Siyam (:fasting feats in Baha’ism[1]. However, it is interesting to be mentioned that the leadership foundation of Baha’ism called the universal house of justice (which is calling itself as infallible) has rejected this feast[2].
Nevertheless, it is interesting to be noted that contrary the universal house of justice claim, the issue of fasting feast is so clear in Baha’ism that the first hand resources of Baha’ism have repeatedly spoken about the fasting feast. As the self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism cult has said about it in the book “the Aqdas”:
” قَد کَتبنا عَلیکُم الصّیام أیّاماً مَعدودات و جَعلنا النّیروز عیداً لَکُم”[۳]
In the book “the treasury of limitations and commandments, it spoken about fasting feast of Baha’is: “Chapter 6: about this issue that fasting feast the very Nowrouz feast.[4]” Or Israq Khawari has put the time for the greatest feast of the Baha’is” the fasting feast as the source for its number.[5] Also, Fadhel Mazandarani has put fasting feast as the origin of appointing the Baha’is greatest feast time[6].
Nevertheless, the issue becomes more interesting while Ishraq Khawari clearly w\and frankly has interpreted Nowrouz feast as the fasting feast of the Baha’is and has called them as combined feast.[7]
However, how is it possible that the Baha’i famous authors who were contemporary with the Baha’ism leaders and their books have been confirmed by them have made a mistake concerning naming the fasting feast, but the illegitimate claim by the universal house of justice is correct?[8] What a contradiction!!!
