O thou Eternal One! Make the friends of that country prosperous, acquaint them with the mysteries; usher them into the divine rose-garden and; make their hearts the association of truth and their souls full of divine melodies and sacred (choral) music!
O God! This respectful assemblage are my relatives and kindred and the cause of the happiness of this afflicted one. Bestow upon them a shining face and grant them a musk-diffusing character. Show them the mystery of the Kingdom and suffer them to hear the soul-elevating harmony of heaven! Awaken (the people) by the breeze of the Paradise of Abha and make them alive by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Verily, Thou are the Powerful and Omnipotent, and Thou art the Bestower and generous!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From ‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
