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’s “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 Lisbon, Portugal with Sonia Gomes who sings “Filho do Homem” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Lisbon, Portugal, May 2017.
Lyrics & Quote
PORTUGUESE
O FILHO DO HOMEM! Humilha-te perante Mim, para que Eu, por Minha graca, te possa visitar. Levanta-te para o triunfo de Minha causa, a fim de que tu, enquanto ainda na terra, alcances a vitoria.
Baha’u’llah
ENGLISH
O SON OF MAN! Humble thyself before Me, that I may graciously visit thee. Arise for the triumph of My cause, that while yet on earth thou mayest obtain the victory.
Baha’u’llah

Randomly bursting into song is a daily occurrence for Jordan, something which his friends find both hilarious and terrifying, however, for their own survival, they have grown accustomed to acts of randomness. Growing up in both the Czech Republic and Australia, and looking like he’s from neither, Jordan took to creating Youtube videos from a young age, the intention of his content is to make people happy and hopefully spread some positivity juice. He is now studying Media in Melbourne Australia, and singing for his classmates. (he really does not sing that much)
tao lindo nao sei onde aprendeu tanto mas para conhecer melhor sera perceber a letra desta tao inocente cancao humilha te para ke eu te visite nem deus pede tanto aos pecadores cambada de hipocritas
