THE MASHRIQU’L-ADHKÁR

“To have it built is most important. Some material things have spiritual effect, and the Mashriqu’l-Adhkár is a material thing that will have great effect upon the spirits of the people. Not only does the building of the Mashriqu’l-Adhkár have an effect upon those who build it, but upon the whole world.

“In the time of Christ the believers used a room under a house where they held their meetings. Moses built the Tabernacle. Solomon built the first real Temple.

“In the Mashriqu’l-Adhkár services will be held every morning, and the words of Bahá’u’lláh only are to be read.”

Mashriqu’l-Adhkár means “Dawning Point of Mention” (where God is mentioned).⁴
