The rule goes back to the time of Baha'u'llah, and was confirmed by Abdu'l-Baha. I've read two or three passages from Baha'u'llah in Persian, forbidding teaching in "Sham" (the Ottoman province of Syria which includes present-day Israel and Palestinian territories). However I don't get a clear reason for the prohibition from the quotes. I don't think anyone understands it - we obey because Baha'u'llah said so. It seems to be a permanent rule, only the boundaries of the area around the Baha'i World Centre where there is no Baha'i teaching activity have changed, as governments have come and gone.
Compasses are sometimes used in religious rituals or ceremonies to symbolize guidance, direction, or a spiritual journey. In some traditions, the compass represents moral or spiritual values, such as staying true to one's beliefs or following a righteous path.
A Bahai is a disciple of Baha'u'llah and his son Abdu'l-Baha. Baha'u'llah was a Persian nobleman who founded the Bahai Faith, a new religion teaching world unity. He was imprisoned and banished and exiled, until he was eventually sent to Akka in the north of Israel. There's a good wikipedia page on the Bahai Faith.
the people of Israel
The Baha'i Faith is a global religion, with its headquarters on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. Its scriptures are published in more than 700 languages.
The Baha'i Faith originated in 19th Century Persia, present day Iran. The prophet, Baha'u'llah (ie., "Glory of God"), was born in Tehran. He was exiled first to Baghdad, later to Turkey, and finally imprisoned in Akka, in the Ottoman province of Palestine. So the world centre of the Bahai Faith is in what is now Israel. There are shrines and gardens there, and the Bahai international administrative institutions.

The Bahai Faith originated in Iran in the 19th century. Its founder, Baha'u'llah, was exiled to Baghdad, then to Istanbul, to Edirne (in Turkey) and finally to Akka in Israel. Akka was used by the Ottomans as a prison city, like Botany Bay in the early days of Australian colonisation. Baha'u'llah died there in 1892. Because of this history, the Bahai faith has its holy places in Iran, in Iraq, in Turkey and in Israel Sen McGlinn
The Bahai Faith does not use any code in its scriptures, which everyone is encouraged to read for themselves. See the Bahai Reference Library for a good selection of Bahai scriptures, all for free. The Bahai community today also does not use codes, secret handshakes, etc..
A Bahai place of worship is called: 1) a Bahai house of worship, 2) a Bahai temple or 3) a Mashriqu'l-adhkar These are three different names for the same thing.
