Badí’

Badí‘ is a calendar for the Bahá’í year, worked out for the place you live. In the Badí‘ calendar a day begins at sunset, so the date turns when the sun goes down where you are, not at midnight. Badí‘ shows today’s date with the meaning of its name, the sun on its way across the sky, and the time of the next sunrise or sunset. TODAY • The Badí‘ date and what it means, such as “Loftiness, in the month of Will” • The sun’s path from one sunset to the next, over the sky of the moment • The next Feast and the next Holy Day, and anything under way, such as the Fast THE YEAR • All nineteen months at a glance, with the Feasts and Holy Days marked • Each month as a page of a book, with a plate showing its name in calligraphy and how the sun changes over it • Step to other years, or go to any date from 1844 to 2200 and see it as a Badí‘ date HOLY DAYS • The eleven Holy Days, Ayyám-i-Há and the Fast, with their dates for the years ahead • The nine Holy Days on which work is suspended, marked so they stand out • What each Holy Day commemorates, with the hours of commemoration where they are set REMINDERS • The morning before each Holy Day, Ayyám-i-Há and the first day of the Fast • Optionally the morning before each month begins, and daily reminders during the Fast before sunrise, at sunset, or both APPLE CALENDAR • Add the Holy Days and the Feasts for the rest of this year and all of the next, each to a calendar of its own, from sunset to sunset or as all-day events WIDGETS • The date and the sun’s path on the Home Screen, or a Details widget with the day’s meaning and what’s next • Larger widgets with what’s coming, and this month’s days as a wall calendar • The date on the Lock Screen IPAD AND IPHONE DUO • Today spread across the screen, the month as an open book with its plate facing its days, and the Holy Days beside the list • On iPhone Duo, the same layouts open, with the book’s spine on the fold ENGLISH AND PERSIAN • The whole app in Persian, right to left, with Persian numerals and the Solar Hijri date beside the Badí‘ one A short guide explains how the calendar works: the nineteen months, Ayyám-i-Há, Naw-Rúz, the Váḥid and more.
