The call of Ya
Baha'u'l-Abha can be heard far and wide. It is my hope that this soul-stirring
melody of the Abha Kingdom may also be raised high in Paris, for Paris is
tumultuous in all things. I pray the Almighty that the music and singing of the
beloved of God will be so loud that the vibrations thereof may cause the limbs
of Paris to quake. I await very joyful tidings from the friends in Paris.
Unquestionably the divine melody will in the future be raised in that city, but
I long that this may happen in these days of the Covenant, and that you will be
the enchanting songsters and the sweet-singing nightingales of that land.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a message dated
August 1976 addressed to the ‘Friends assembled at the International Teaching
Conference in Paris’; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice 1963-1986’)
