Abdu’l-Baha was the eldest son of Baha’u’llah. When Abdu’l-Baha passed away on 28 November 1921, He was eulogized as One who led humanity to the “Way of Truth,” as a “pillar of peace” and the embodiment of “glory and greatness.”
One of the prayers revealed by the Bab is a prayer often referred to by many as “Say God Sufficeth”, and it reads:
“Say: God sufficeth all things above all things, and nothing in the heavens or in the earth but God sufficeth. Verily, He is in Himself the Knower, the Sustainer, the Omnipotent.”
– The Bab
Over the years, as a part of our Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions, we’ve shared several recordings based on this prayer that are sung in different languages by Baha’is and their friends in different locations around the world. We thought it would be nice to share some of these songs based on this prayer. Here they are in no particular order, and we hope you enjoy them too.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Paita, New Caledonia with Edelo Waengene and Emma Wayenece who sing “Dis Dieu suffit” from the Writings of the Bab in French.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with Friends in Malaysia singing “Chal Wel Deh (Say God Sufficeth) (Katakanlah)” in Semai, Bahasa Melayu and in English, from the Writings of the Bab.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Frankfurt, Germany with Colin Shoemaker singing “Gott Genügt (God Sufficeth)” in German, from the Writings of the Bab.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Phoenix, USA with Ladjamaya who sings “Remover of Difficulties” in English and Spanish along with other excerpts from the Writings of the Bab.
I hope these eight Baha’i Blog Studio Session songs based on the “Say God Sufficeth” prayer by the Bab bring you joy and peace.
