June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
At some point in our lives, we all suffer from illnesses of the body or the mind and we face tests and difficulties. This collection highlights resources dedicated to physical and spiritual health and well-being, healing, resilience and overcoming challenges.
10 Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions Based on the Prayer “Thy name is my healing” by Baha’u’llah
Prayer is an integral part of Baha’i life, and Abdu’l-Baha said that “the most blessed condition is the condition of prayer and supplication”. We are so fortunate to have so many different prayers Revealed by Baha’u’llah, the Bab and Abdu’l-Baha, and a prayer which I personally love is the following prayer for healing by Baha’u’llah:
Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor in both this world and the world to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
With so much going on in the world, I’m sure we could all use this prayer and also offer it for others as well, so I thought it would be nice to share a selection of songs from our Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions series, which are based on the above prayer for healing by Baha’u’llah:
