With reference to attending dawn prayers in the
Mashriqu'l-Adhkar, the Baha'i House of Worship, Baha'u'llah
has explained that, although the actual time specified
in the Book of God is "the hour of dawn", it is acceptable at
any time from "the earliest dawn of day, between dawn and
sunrise, or even up to two hours after sunrise" (Q and A 15).
