The Photograph

[@nushinroshanioskui9619]

This song saved the life of my grandson Julian. A virus attacked his fragile heart 3 month ago. He loves our dear Sonbol Taefi his songs and prayers. The only thing that calmed him was prayers and songs from your albums. Thsnks so much for the love spreading all around the world. a big hug from Argentina, San Juan.

Beautiful. Once ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was asked, ‘Why do all the guests who visit you come away with shining countenances?‘ ‘He said with his beautiful smile: “I cannot tell you, but in all those upon whom I look, I see only my Father’s Face.”

[@SonbolTaefi]

Thank you for sharing this, how beautiful and thought provoking

[@nabilamouslimani7186]

"O Captain! my Captain!" The life of Abdul-Baha is the most perfect man's life I have ever known.

[@mbokeruhiyih6542]

This song is so beautiful and uplifting. It has made me cry, has made me stronger in sad times, made me hopeful through difficult moments, and made me always remember The Master is with me always

[@SonbolTaefi]

Thank you dear friend for your touching comments. It brings us joy to know that this song inspires you :)

[@leonglystra7900]

The song moves me to tears. I fear to look into his sharp eyes who sees through all my weaknesses.

[@jonlyksett8340]

This is the most wonderful presentation of a wonderful story. The choice of voices, their interaction, the lyrics, the backing chorale, all so beautiful. Each of these performers are well known in the Baha'i community for their individual talents and repertoire. Kudos to you all for making this song more us to enjoy and be inspired by. The Master would certainly be happy with this masterpiece.

[@shivakanom]

So touching! Everytime I hear it I feel so overwhelmed with love and longing to get closer to the Master himself. Our true loving father.and protector in this world and the next to come.

[@francismausley7239]

“Seldom have I seen one whose appearance impressed me more,” said Professor Edward G. Browne of Cambridge University after meeting 'Abdu’l-Bahá. “About the greatness of this man and his power no one who had seen him could entertain a doubt.”

[@LearnEnglishESL]

He lived life with good humor. In November, 1921, on his deathbed, Abdul-Baha got up briefly, drank some rose water and laid down again. One of his daughters urged him to take some food. “You want me to eat and I am going?” the dying 'Abdu'l-Bahá quipped. Even his last words were to offer an ironic jest about the human impulse to sustain life right up to the brink of death. 'Abdu'l-Bahá exited with a good-tempered laugh! By Robert Ballenger

This is the best Bahá'í musical offering I have heard on KZbin. I can understand why it took a year to prepare with the artists being in different countries. How wonderful it is to have modern methods of communication! Shoghi Effendi wrote about it in his tract on the future. Let's have some more performances like this. Best wishes, Sylvia Schulman Benatar

@@SonbolTaefi Allah'u' Abha Dear Sonbol khanum. Unfortunately I had no chance to join your premiere due to the Spiritual Assembly Meeting. I have asked our friend to join your premiere and he has good impression....Congratulation !!! Sonbol khanum, Many Thanks for your respond, especially one hour before such a premiere it is much appreciated. I Hope after your premiere you are safe & sound and doing well and happy. Let me introduce myself, I am Salahaddin Ayyubi, Bahai from Azerbaijan-Baku, who is still under impression of this song " Photography ". It is indeed one of the Masterpieces, which I have heard so far !!! I cannot call myself composer, however I was inspired by message from Universal House of Justice as well as from Hz AbdulBaha about " Arts ( "bahaiquotes.com/subject/arts ) and have composed music's on which creative Bahai group "New ERA & Friends " have put together some lyrics ( dedicated to the Cause ). Later on they translated lyrics from Azeri into the 3 languages (Farsi, English and Russian). By the way, this is a link to our KZbin channel " Unity in Diversity - Elchin Azizov" (kzbin.info/door/7tj8Kj0YqEaliUOS0Mtt_g ), where you can view them. Unfortunately sometimes we struggle to get Singer with your caliber, who has powerful voice and passion to reveal beauty and power of message from Hz. Bab, Hz. Baha'u'llah and Hz. Abdul-Baha. If I dare to offer you to collaborate with us and to perform some of the our songs in Farsi, would it be acceptable for you, please. With Bahai Love and Greate Respect. Khudahafiz, Salahaddin Ayyubi
