## What is Bahá’í Today?

In a letter dated 10 July 2014, the Universal House of Justice called upon all Baha’is to adopt the Badi Calendar. According to the House “The adoption of a new calendar in each dispensation is a symbol of the power of Divine Revelation to reshape human perception of material, social, and spiritual reality. Through it, sacred moments are distinguished, humanity’s place in time and space reimagined, and the rhythm of life recast. Next Naw-Rúz will mark yet another historic step in the manifestation of the unity of the people of Bahá and the unfoldment of Bahá’u’lláh’s World Order.”

This app was developed to help transition our daily lives and conception of date/time from the Western Gregorian calendar to the Badi Calendar.

### 4/5 — Thanks for holy days and dates. Calendar not working.

*2025-12-21*

I’m on an IPhone and the calendar section is not working. It runs off the bottom of the screen and so many dates are missing. The top banner doesn’t track with the calendar below so they don’t match either. Help section doesn’t mean much. However I love the rest of it.

### 5/5 — Start and end of day is clear. Small bug

*2020-04-20*

Appreciate this app. Small bugs:
1) DateTime-related issue: At 8am Central US time, app was previously set to a location approximately 14 hours ahead (say, Mongolia). When I switched it to current local time (Midwestern US city), the date page was mostly blank with the calendar not populating. Workaround after the change: Quit and reopen the app.
2) The send feedback button wasn’t working.
