The Baha'i Studies Listserv I wasn't reffering to the prayer times, but how many recitations and/or amount of time goes into a prayer time?

One has three choice how to perform the Baha'i obligatory prayer. If they choose the short obligatory prayer then they say the prayer just once between noon and sunset. If they choose the medium obligatory prayer then they say it three times, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening. If they choose the long obligatory prayer they say it once any time of the day.
