Baháʼí Houses of Worship are places where all people, no matter their race, religion, gender, or background, can pray, meditate, and reflect. In fact, each House of Worship has nine sides and nine entrances, symbolizing that all people are welcome. Baháʼí Houses of Worship are also called Temples, or Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, which is Arabic for "The Dawning Place of the Mention of God." They serve two essential purposes: worship and service. In addition to enhancing the devotional spirit and capacity for service in their surrounding communities, the Bahá'í Houses of Worship will someday develop related structures that will support and enrich community life, such as hospitals, schools, and libraries.
