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.”
“Ya Baha’u’l-Abha” is the eleventh song from the European Baha’i Choral Festival that was held from May 29 – June 2, 2019 at the Baha’i House of Worship in Langenhain, Germany. This Arabic song was composed and conducted by Ameli Dziemba and its words are a repetition of “Ya Baha’u’l-Abha” which means “O Thou Glory of Glories”.
