The opening as it read in 2010

Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh, seen from the north Located in Bahjí near Acre, Israel , the Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh is the most holy place for Bahá'ís and represents their Qiblih , or direction of prayer. It contains the remains of Bahá'u'lláh and is near the spot where he died in the Mansion of Bahjí .1 The Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh is composed of a central room that has a small garden at its centre, which has trees growing in it and there are layers of carpets around the walls. In the right hand corner of the central room there is a small room where Bahá'u'lláh's remains are laid to rest.2 The glass roof was constructed by Qulám-‘Alíy-i-Najjár after the death of Bahá'u'lláh. The shrine, after `Abdu'l-Bahá's death, was occupied by Mírzá Muhammad `Alí and his supporters, who forcibly took the keys to the shrine in January 1922. The governor of Acre ordered the keys to be returned to the authorities and a guard was posted at the shrine. In early 1923 the keys were returned to Shoghi Effendi . In the 1950s, Shoghi Effendi had made plans for a future superstructure, which would surround the whole area and would include a platform with 95 marble columns of 6 meters high. Shoghi Effendi has called the shrine the Daryá-yi-Núr (Ocean of Light), which has taken the Kúh-i-Núr (Mountain of Light, the Shrine of the Báb ) under its shadow. The shrine and its surrounding gardens, as well as the Mansion of Bahjí , was inscribed on the World Heritage List in July 2008. Corner of the shrine where Bahá'u'lláh is buried.
