When the Mashriqu’l-Adhkar, with its accessories, is
established in the world, aside from its religious or spiritual influence, it
will have a tremendous effect upon civilization. Aside from the religionists,
who will feel its influence, materialists will not be exempt therefrom.
Moreover, it contains divine wisdoms, spiritual effects upon the intellects and
thoughts. Subsequent to its erection these will become evident.
