Medium Obligatory Prayer

Bahá ʼu' lláh has revealed three obligatory prayers (this is the medium length one), any of which can be chosen, and when used in the way prescribed, fulfills the obligation. THey should be said individually but are not ddependant on a private spot.

Performing ablutions (which are washing the hands and face in preparation for prayer), and facing East, are fixed requirements for the recitation of obligatory prayers.

"By 'morning,' "noon," and 'evening,' mentioned in connection with Obligatory Prayers, it is meant respectively the intervals between sunrise and noon, between noon and sunset, and from sunset till two hours before sunset."
