Tablet of Visitation 'Abdu'l-Bahá

Read online at https://bahai-library.com/compilations/prayers/BP-173.html or section 237 of Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá

Nothing found requiring the friends to stand and face the Qiblih upon reciting the Tablets of Visitation including on Holy Day observance (unless near or in the precincts of the Holy Shrines)

"Nothing has been found in the Baha'i Writings requiring the friends to stand and face the Qiblih whenever the Tablets of Visitation are recited. No issue should be made of this matter when a Holy Day observance is being held. However, when one is actually in, or within the precincts of one of the Holy Shrines, it is an act of simple reverence to stand and face that Shrine when the Tablet of Visitation is recited."

(On behalf of the Universal House of Justice, 19 August 1992)
