Beautiful ❣️💝 Sending Loving greetings from Mongolia!🙏🏻

In May 2021, Baha’is and like-minded friends from across Brisbane Bayside, Australia, gathered
together to take part in a Festival to Celebrate the Five Year Plan. It was an opportunity to
wholeheartedly celebrate the achievements of the cluster over the past five years, and to
form a unified vision of the One-Year Plan ahead. A year that is described by the Universal
House of Justice as one “for profound reflection on the life of Abdu’l-Baha and the strength
of the Covenant of which He was the Centre.” Songs and stories about Abdu’l-Baha were
performed throughout to inspire us to walk in His footsteps, and we are excited to now
share this collection of songs for us all to be able to revisit this year and beyond.

This song is called 'Serried Lines' by Tom Francis. You can watch the video recording of this song here: https://bit.ly/3k1IHOg

"Keep all my words of prayer and praise confined to one refrain; make all my life but servitude to TheeThat is, let them concentrate all their thoughts, all their words, on teaching the Cause of God and spreading the Faith of God, and inspiring all to characterize themselves with the characteristics of God; on loving mankind; on being pure and holy in all things, and spotless in their public and private life; on being upright and detached, and fervent, and afire. All is to be yielded up, save only the remembrance of God; all is to be dispraised, except His praise. Today, to this melody of the Company on high, the world will leap and dance: ‘Glory be to my Lord, the All-Glorious!"
- Abdu'l-Baha

Tablet of Ahmad

He is the King, the All-Knowing, the Wise!  

Lo, the Nightingale of Paradise 
singeth upon the twigs of the Tree of Eternity, 
with holy and sweet melodies, 
proclaiming to the sincere ones 
the glad tidings of the nearness of God, 
calling the believers in the Divine Unity 
to the court of the Presence of the Generous One, 
informing the severed ones 
of the message which hath been revealed by God,
 the King, the Glorious, the Peerless, 
guiding the lovers to the seat of sanctity 
and to this resplendent Beauty.

Verily this is that Most Great Beauty, 
foretold in the Books of the Messengers,
 through Whom truth shall be distinguished from error
and the wisdom of every command shall be tested.
Verily He is the Tree of Life that bringeth forth the fruits of God, 
the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great.

O Ahmad! Bear thou witness 
that verily He is God and there is no God but Him,
 the King, the Protector, the Incomparable, the Omnipotent.
And that the One Whom He hath sent forth by the name of ‘Alí
was the true One from God, to Whose commands we are all conforming.

Say: O people be obedient to the ordinances of God, 
which have been enjoined in the Bayán 
by the Glorious, the Wise One.  
Verily He is the King of the Messengers 
and His book is the Mother Book did ye but know.

Thus doth the Nightingale utter His call unto you from this prison.
He hath but to deliver this clear message.
Whosoever desireth, let him turn aside from this counsel 
and whosoever desireth let him choose the path to his Lord.
O people, if ye deny these verses, 
by what proof have ye believed in God?  
Produce it, O assemblage of false ones.

Nay, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, 
they are not, and never shall be able to do this, 
even should they combine to assist one another.

O Ahmad! Forget not My bounties while I am absent.
Remember My days during thy days, 
and My distress and banishment in this remote prison.
And be thou so steadfast in My love that thy heart shall not waver, 
even if the swords of the enemies rain blows upon thee 
and all the heavens and the earth arise against thee.

Be thou as a flame of fire to My enemies 
and a river of life eternal to My loved ones, 
and be not of those who doubt.

And if thou art overtaken by affliction in My path, 
or degradation for My sake, be not thou troubled thereby.

Rely upon God, thy God and the Lord of thy fathers.
For the people are wandering in the paths of delusion, 
bereft of discernment to see God with their own eyes, 
or hear His Melody with their own ears.
Thus have We found them, 
as thou also dost witness.

Thus have their superstitions become veils 
between them and their own hearts 
and kept them from the path of God,
 the Exalted, the Great.

Be thou assured in thyself that verily, he who turns away from this 
Beauty hath also turned away from the Messengers of the past 
and showeth pride towards God from all eternity to all eternity.

Learn well this Tablet, O Ahmad.  
Chant it during thy days and withhold not thyself therefrom.  
For verily, God hath ordained for the one who chants it, 
the reward of a hundred martyrs and a service in both worlds.
These favors have We bestowed upon thee 
as a bounty on Our part and a mercy from Our presence,
 that thou mayest be of those who are grateful.

By God! Should one who is in affliction or grief 
read this Tablet with absolute sincerity, 
God will dispel his sadness, 
solve his difficulties 
and remove his afflictions.

Verily, He is the Merciful, the Compassionate. 
 Praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.
