Ayyam-i-ha, or “Days of Ha,” are the days Baha'is members devoted to spiritual preparation for the Fast, hospitality, charity and gift giving.


Throughout the world the Baha'is celebrate the festival of Ayyam-i-Ha each year from sunset on February 25 to sunset of March 1 as a preparation for their Fast, which begins March 2 and ends March 20.

During Ayyam-i-Ha, Baha'is members perform acts of charity, give gifts to friends and family, and attend social gatherings.

Baha'u'llah has said of Ayyam-i-Ha: "It behoveth the people of Baha, throughout these days, to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy, and with joy and exultation to hail and glorify their Lord, to sing His praise and magnify His Name."


Followers of Baha'u'llah promote a Universal Humanity in Universal Peace.

On 27th February, 1978. Two Baha'is youth of Sabah came to Queen Elezabath Hospital to present their gifts.

People with O- type blood are universal donors. Their blood can be given to people of all blood types.

Both young men donated their O blood to the needy. Their universal blood match their universal Faith.
