"O FLEETING SHADOW! Pass beyond the baser stages of doubt and rise to the exalted heights of certainty. Open the eye of truth, that thou mayest behold the veilless Beauty and exclaim: Hallowed be the Lord, the most excellent of all creators!" - Baha'u'llah
My uncle and aunt have been involved in an car accident in Malawi and I'm about to go to the Shrine to pray for them. I had to listen to this song to remove my anxiety. These Blessed Beauty's Words put to music have just soothed my heart, now I can go supplicate at the Sacred Threshold.
+tamike84able Tiyamike, I just saw this now. I'm so moved by what you wrote. Sorry to hear about your uncle and aunt and I hope they're ok. Sending you all my love. Miss you, brother.
I am a Bahai but not my teenage children. One way I can reach them with the words of the Faith is to play beautiful music such as yours. Unconsciously they are absorbing the Teachings.
+avigale bischard We each must choose our own path, but the path will always be presented to us. I can't believe that our Lord would leave even the least of us without a choice. I am the only Baha'i in my family, but as time progresses, I believe the seeds of faith are beginning to take root. It's taken 20 years, or so, to watch my beloved wife go from a devout atheist, to an agnostic. That might not seem like much, but it's a quantum leap.... trust me.
I agree!! My husband is not a Baha'i. I worry about our children. I am so thankful for artists like these, Baha'i Blog, and even the old school classics to be able to let the Teachings permeate into their souls somehow!
We now have another favorite! The chords & simple melody with the drum and other instruments are so uplifting. My musician hubby says this calls to mind Seals & Croft's 'Tribute to 'Abdu'-Baha' - a very old favorite!
Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece of music for the Hidden Word. It moves me to tears. The words stir my mind and heart. Every day, I listen to your inspiring song of the words of Bahá'u'lláh.
Ali, I hope that you will continue to record compositions like this, it's truly uplifting for the soul to listen and draw closer to God this way. This is true "Soul Food".
+Sunil Abrol Thank you so much, Sunil, for your support and encouragement. You can go to my site aliyoussefi.com to listen to more music and sign up for mailing list, that way i can keep you informed of new releases :) All the best
Thank you so much....I am studying and quite under pressure for a dead line coming up soon..Your composition and music of the beautiful Holy Words work magic...Please keep singing.

Many years ago before I became a Baha'i , I had this dream. I was with a woman and we were running through a kinda wooded area with caves, it was identical to this video. So we are running and we go into this cave. After awhile she tells me she has to go and I ask her how I will find my way back? She tells me that I must remember , not to forget and that I would find my way back, but really stressed to remember! I'm alone in the cave when after awhile the cave was getting smaller and cramped and I decided to leave. I squeezed out of the cave, like as if I was experiencing my own birth. I thought of it like that. As a Baha'i when I read The Four Valleys I thought of my dream and when I saw your video I felt a connection. I do have 3 big dogs too! I'm curious as to where you filmed this video and your thoughts behind this.
+Audree Armey Wow, Audree, what a beautiful and profound dream! Thanks for sharing that :) The video was shot in different parts of Israel. And even though i think it leaves a lot of space for peoples own interpretation, there was a lot of thought put behind the concept of the cave representing our spiritual growth and journey in this life. I'm so glad you resonated with it
Absolutely lovely. Ali I really love your voice and musical style. I've enjoyed it ever since hearing and buying "The Flight"--on which my cousin Pam plays violin!
