Baha’is believe in the power of prayer and you’ll find Baha’is and their friends, throughout the world, getting together to pray. This is often referred to as a ‘devotional gathering’ or ‘devotional meeting’, and they happen in diverse settings, whether in cities or villages.
‘100 Years’ is a song by Ali Youssefi that pays homage to Abdu’l-Baha (son of the prophet founder of the Baha’i Faith), a figure whose life inspired and continues to inspire millions of people around the world and whose example and teachings of peace act as a shining lamp.
Ali Youssefi is a musician whose songs move the heart. You may be familiar with his global musical initiatives “Unite” or his song “Waves”.
