Blessed is he who, at the hour of dawn, centring his
thoughts on God, occupied with His remembrance, and supplicating His
forgiveness, directeth his steps to the Mashriqu’l-Adhkár and,
entering therein, seateth himself in silence to listen to the verses of God,
the Sovereign, the Mighty, the All-Praised. Say: The Mashriqu’l-Adhkár
is each and every building which hath been erected in cities and villages for
the celebration of My praise. Such is the name by which it hath been designated
before the throne of glory, were ye of those who understand.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘The
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
