Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his
chamber,
the verses revealed by God, the scattering angels of the Almighty
shall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by his mouth,
and shall cause the heart of every righteous man to throb.
Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the virtue
of the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exercise
its influence upon his soul. Thus have the mysteries of the Revelation
of God been decreed by virtue of the Will of Him
Who is the Source of power and wisdom.
--BAHA'U'LLAH
OBLIGATORY PRAYERS
"The daily obligatory prayers are three in number...."
"The daily obligatory prayers are three in number. ... The believer is
entirely free to choose any one of these three prayers, but is under the
obligation of reciting one of them, and in accordance with any specific
directions with which they may be accompanied."
--from a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi
"By 'morning,' 'noon' and 'evening,' mentioned in connection with the
Obligatory Prayers, is meant respectively the intervals between sunrise
and noon, between noon and sunset, and from sunset till two hours after
sunset.
