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.”
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 Helsinki, Finland with Pedram Aflatuni, Aram Aflatuni, Onni Aflatuni and Nader Aflatuni singing “Ystävällinen kieli”, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Helsinki, Finland, November 2016.
Lyrics & Quote
FINNISH
Ystävällinen kieli on ihmissydänten magneetti. Se on hengen leipää, se pukee sanat merkityksin, se on viisauden ja ymmärryksen valon lähde.
Baha’u’llah
ENGLISH
A kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts of men. It is the bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with meaning, it is the fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding.
Baha’u’llah
