Definition: The Qiblih, also known as the Point of Adoration, is the direction toward which Baha'is should face during certain rituals, most notably the obligatory prayers.
According to the Bab, the Qiblih is He Whom God Will Make Manifest. That is to say, the Manifestation of God whose coming the Bab foretold. That individual is accepted by Baha'is as Baha'u'llah, founder of their faith.
As such, the direction Baha'is should face during obligatory prayer is Bahji, Akka in Israel, and these place names are sometimes mentioned instead of the term Qiblih. This is the location of Baha'u'llah's tomb after his death in 1892.
