Song Inspired by the 2023 Ridvan Message – أغنية كم هي مدرارةٌ البركات

August 26, 2023, in Music > Recording Artist, by

This melody, sung in Arabic by Saba Jaberi, is inspired by the last paragraph of the 2023 Ridvan Message from the Universal House of Justice where it says, “Copious are the blessings that a benevolent Lord has chosen to bestow upon His loved ones. Lofty is the calling, magnificent the prospect. Pressing are the times in which we have all been summoned to serve.”

The English translation of the words sung in Arabic are:

Copious Copious are the blessings

That were bestowed upon the loved ones of God

Lofty is the calling, magnificent the prospect.

Pressing Pressing are the times in which we have all been summoned to serve.

Chords:

C F G C Dm C Dm G C F G C
