We have absolved you from the requirement of performing the
Prayer of the Signs. On the appearance of fearful natural events call ye to
mind the might and majesty of your Lord, He Who heareth and seeth all, and say
"Dominion is God's, the Lord of the seen and the unseen, the Lord of
creation"(Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas)
The Prayer of the Signs is a special form of Muslim obligatory prayer that was ordained to be said in times of natural events, like earthquakes, eclipses, and other such phenomena, which may cause fear and are taken to be signs or acts of God. The requirement of performing this prayer has been annulled. In its place a Bahá'í may say, "Dominion is God's, the Lord of the seen and the unseen, the Lord of creation," but this is not obligatory (Q and A 52).
