Facing in the direction of the Qiblih is a fixed requirement
for the recitation of obligatory prayer, but for other prayers and devotions
one may follow what the merciful Lord hath revealed in the Qur’án: “Whichever
way ye turn, there is the face of God.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Questions and Answers’;
‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
