Naw-Ruz
why's it called Naw Ruz by the Bahai's and called Nowruz by the Persians. Both are translterations anyway so you cant say one is correct ovr the other, but can we try to keep some consistency? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.146.15.45 (talk) 13:36, 6 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi. It is because the Bahais use a transliteration system that uses “aw” for the letter VAV as opposed to the more common “ow”. Notice also the accents used for “a” and “i” are slanted as opposed to the more common horizontal accent Cyrus19Baha (talk) 15:25, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Nowruz for Bahais
The description that Bahais don’t adopt the regular customs, such as the haftseen table, is not entirely accurate. Most if not all Iranian / Persian Bahais do those cultural components as well. It is just the non-Iranian Baha’is that don’t (some do actually) do those things. So it is a bit misleading to say that those customs are not part of Bahai peoples’ lives.

 * I'm not sure where in the article you're talking about. At one point it says, Persian Baháʼís may observe some of the Iranian customs associated with Nowruz such as the Haft Sîn, while American Baháʼí communities, for example, may have a potluck dinner, along with prayers and readings from Baháʼí scripture..
 * That sounds similar to what you said. Cuñado ☼ - Talk  22:39, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
