Editing Kitab-i-Aqdas/Elder6

Worship (al-salat) has been ordained for you - nine prostrations (raka'at) to God Who has sent down the verses; when noon is past (al-zawal), in the morning (al- bukur) and in the late afternoon (al-asal).

We have exempted (`afawna) (you) from the other number on account of a command in the Book of God. Indeed He is the Powerful, the Choosing, the Commanding One.

Whenever you desire to worship, turn your face towards My most holy direction (shatri), the Holy Station which God made the place of circumambulation for the angels (al-mala' al-a'la), and the direction for worship of the people of the cities of continuing eternity, and the source of command to all who are on the earths and in the heavens, and at the setting of the Sun of Reality and clear Explanation, the Resting-place (al-maqarr) which we have decreed for you. He is the Knower, the Strong One.
