Congregational Prayer The prayers which Baha'u'llah has ordained as a daily obligation for Baha'is are to be said privately. Only in the case of the Prayer for the Dead has Baha'u'llah commanded congregational prayer, and the only requirement is that the believer who reads it aloud, and all others present, should stand. This differs from the Islamic practice of congregational prayer in which the believers stand in rows behind an imam, who leads the prayer, which is prohibited in the Baha'i Faith.
