[[Bahá'u'lláh]] decreed pilgrimage in the [[Kitáb-i-Aqdas]] to two places: the [[#House of Bahá'u'lláh, Baghdad|House of Bahá'u'lláh]] in Baghdad, and the [[#House of the Báb, Shiraz|House of the Báb]] in Shiraz. In two separate Tablets, known as Suriy-i-Hajj, He prescribed specific rites for each of these pilgrimages (lifting the injunction regarding the shaving of one's head for pilgrimage in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas). It is obligatory to make the pilgrimage, "if one can afford it and is able to do so, and if no obstacle stands in one's way". Bahá'ís are free to choose between the two Houses, as either has been deemed sufficient. Later, [[`Abdu'l-Bahá]] designated the Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh at Bahji (the [[Qiblih]]) as a site of visitation. No rites have been prescribed for this.

==House of Bahá'u'lláh, Baghdad==

[[Image:Baghdad-view-1855.gif|thumb|right|250px|A view of Baghdad in 1855]]
The '''House of Bahá'u'lláh in Baghdad''', also known as the "Most Great House" (Bayt-i-A'zam) and the "House of God," is where [[Bahá'u'lláh]] lived in from 1853 to 1863 (except for two years where he left to the mountains of Kurdistan, northeast of Baghdad, near the city of [[Sulaymaniyah]]). It is located in the Karkh quarter of [[Baghdad]], near the western bank of the [[Tigris]] river. It is designated in the [[Kitáb-i-Aqdas]] as a place of pilgrimage and it is considered as a holy place by Bahá'ís.

During the 1920s the house was confiscated by [[Shiah|Shí'ih]] authorities, who were enemies of the Bahá'í Faith. The Council of the [[League of Nations]] upheld the Bahá'í's claim to the house, but it has not yet been returned to the Bahá'í community. <br clear=all>

==House of the Báb, Shiraz==

[[Image:House-bab.jpg|thumb|right|250px|House of the Báb]]
In this house in [[Shiraz, Iran|Shiraz]], [[Iran]], the [[Báb]] declared His mission to [[Mullá Husayn]] on [[23 May]] [[1844]].

In 1942-3 it was damaged by fire in an attack by enemies of the [[Bahá'í Faith]], and in 1955 it was destroyed, but later again restored. In 1979 it was destroyed once more during the [[Iranian Revolution]]. In 1981 the site was made into a road and public square. <br clear=all>

The Shrine of the Báb and its terraces.

A Baháʼí pilgrimage currently consists of visiting the holy places in Acre and Haifa at the Baháʼí World Centre in Northwest Israel. Baháʼís do not have access to other places designated as sites for pilgrimage.[1][2]

Baháʼu'lláh decreed pilgrimage in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas to two places: the House of Baháʼu'lláh in Baghdad, and the House of the Báb in Shiraz. In two separate tablets, known as Suriy-i-Hajj, he prescribed specific rites for each of these pilgrimages.[1] It is obligatory to make the pilgrimage, "if one can afford it and is able to do so, and if no obstacle stands in one's way". Baháʼu'lláh has "exempted women as a mercy on His part", though the Universal House of Justice has clarified that women are free to perform this pilgrimage.[3] Baháʼís are free to choose between the two houses, as either has been deemed sufficient. Later, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá designated the Shrine of Baháʼu'lláh at Bahjí (the Qiblih) as a site of pilgrimage. No rites have been prescribed for this.[1]

The designated sites for pilgrimage are not accessible to the majority of Baháʼís, as they are in Iraq and Iran respectively, and thus when Baháʼís currently refer to pilgrimage, it refers to a nine-day pilgrimage that occurs at the Baháʼí World Centre in Haifa and Akká in Israel.[1] This nine-day pilgrimage does not replace pilgrimage to the designated sites for pilgrimage, and it is intended that pilgrimage to the House of the Báb and the House of Baháʼu'lláh will occur in the future.

Baháʼís have to wait up to six years to come and are only allowed to visit again after another five-year wait.[25]
