On November 4, according to the Gregorian calendar, the month of Kudrat begins in the Baha'i faith, which translated from Arabic means «Power». On this day —, the first day of the month of Kudrat according to the nineteen-month Bahá'í calendar — marks the important holiday — the holiday of the Nineteenth Day of the month of Kudrat.
In the Baha'i faith, each month begins with the Feast of the Nineteenth Day. Each holiday performs several functions: administrative, spiritual, social. Baha'is gather every nineteen days for such a celebration of unity and exchange information about the life of the community, read prayers and scriptures, drink tea, and communicate.
Thus, the Nineteenth Day Festival is an integral part of the administrative and spiritual life of the Baha'i community.
The holidays of the Nineteenth Day in the Bahá'í community, although they have a given order of conduct, nevertheless open up wide opportunities for diversity and creativity. So, during any of the three parts of the holiday — prayer, administrative and social — music can be played.
Abdul-Baha advises believers to come out with eloquent, soul-raising stories. Forms of expression of hospitality can be original and varied, and it is also critical at what level the general council is held and how widely the topics are presented.
