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.
Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Paris, France with Friends in Paris singing “Confiez-vous à Dieu (Trust in God)” based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Paris, France, in December 2017.
Lyrics & Quote
FRENCH
Ah ! Confiez-vous à Dieu car Sa bonté est inépuisable et Ses bénédictions sont merveilleuses. Placez votre foi dans le Tout-Puissant car Il est infaillible. Sa générosité dure à jamais. Car Son Soleil donne toujours la lumière, Sa compassion inonde ceux qui croient en Lui.
Abdu’l-Baha
ENGLISH
Oh, trust in God! for His Bounty is everlasting, and in His Blessings, for they are superb. Oh! put your faith in the Almighty, for He faileth not and His goodness endureth forever! His Sun giveth Light continually, and the Clouds of His Mercy are full of the Waters of Compassion with which He waters the hearts of all who trust in Him.
Abdu’l-Baha
