It's is a beautiful chanting of this very great tablet from Bahaullah. It's greatly touches the spirit
Dearest Mr. Luke Slott,
This is a masterpiece which, with each listen, never fails to bring the most joyful tears to my eyes...immense gratitude to you for selflessly serving this world (& perhaps beyond)your gift of music. 🎁
May God bless you, guide you, protect you, confirm you, and assist you in your services to the Cause and to humanity.
All is perfect as the wings of angels are. Many thanks to all the musicians that contributed to this marvelous peace of heaven.
Transported on this beautiful morning. Thank you again.
A wonderful start to prepare for the first day of our National Teaching Conference today. From Aotearoa, New Zealand. Xxx
Peace and blessings of God upon you, brother.
Very beautiful and inspiring and comforting , I'm sorry for not understanding and any comments i made previous in my pride and ignorance , of which i guess i can only blame myself, and the superstitions of scholars and preachers of both christianity and Islamic traditions. Are still learning but praise God and thanks to people like you I've seen the light and the right path, thank you again.
Dirigida aos sinceros, aos que tem fe na unidade divina, aos desprendidos, e aos que o amam!
The blessed beauty wrote an ocean of wisdom and inspiring words puré God's revelation for Mand kind.. today is the day of the Earth is one Country and mankind is citizens
This is the most beautiful and uplifting Tablet of Ahmad I've ever listen to.. 😍😍😍 it's like listening to a a great story, filled with trials and triumphs and in full love despite all the difficulties and hatred faced throughout.. 😭
What a beautiful meditation on this Precious Tablet. It opens new aspects to its myriad meanings. Thank you for this precious gift on this Holy Day!
"Learn well this Tablet, O Ahmad. Chant it during thy days... "
Merci !
thank you Luke, Kelly and all the musicians who contributed to this piece. Happy Holy Day to all. And yes, what a wonderful gift on this Day.
One of the hundreds pieces of Arts of our Beloved Beauty. !¡!..from San Fernando in Chile
So very beautiful Luke. Transported once again to a place of light and love.
This actually reminds me of Cohered and Cambria which, for me personally, in ways you'll never know, is giving me even more strength, love and confirmation on my journey as a Bahai, a Twin Flame and as a living legacy of LOVE. THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD
Oh I have never heard of Cohered and Cambria, I will look that up!
@@lukeslott I pray you enjoy them, they're so powerful and self created out of pure self taught passion and potential. Thank you replying too, what a delight! I listen to this every morning and night. I remember hearing and seeing a video of you playing piano in a town's square many years ago and each note felt like an acknowledgment of my soul, I couldn't find you for years after and then a week ago, after praying and remembering the feeling I felt hearing you play all those years ago, you appeared. I am very grateful. This gives me so much strength as a being, bahai and as a composer and musician. God bless
Luke, in all your music your love for our Creator can be felt and this is no different. You and your fellow musicians captured the moods of each section and transported your listeners to that state of prayer that sometimes recitation cannot achieve! Thank you!
This song is SO beautiful, melodic, the voice is so touching! I'm just in love in this song.
Dear friend , it is a powerful prayer of Baha'u'llah put into music by this this talented youth. :)
A true masterpiece! It gives me goosebumps. Such depth and richness, it demands many repeated listenings to hear everything. It makes my heart full of love for God and Baha’u’llah. An awesome, magical, and inspiring job by everyone involved. 🥰
Terry Fravel Thank-you, sweet Mother. Don’t worry about focusing on the words too much - just let go and let your mind wander and let the music take you.
Kelly Snook the Words in this TABLET nay every letter has a potency for the listener believers lovers an sincere ones to become a living walking breathing prayer
Ahmad received along his journey to delivering this Tablet to the Bab such deeds by everyone he met along the way he was abused robbed assaulted degraded 100 times in the Path to deliver to the Bab this Tablet an all along it unaware of its content ,as he was instructed by Bahaullah no 1 but the Bab was to open it.
Our blessing an bounties to have this Tablet in the year 2021 when were talking this Tablets Journey to Humanity an it started in the 1800s an here on You tube delivered 2021
this is more than the given ladder (music) we as friends in the Cause of God climb .(every day in our lives )as believers another reward given to us that we partake in when we apply..... our music to.... the.... Word of God.
.
Humanities awareness of its Journey and in deeds story of a believers love faithfulness unwavering purpose an obedience, to the instructions Given by Bahaullah to Ahmad is why repeat listening to the words as stated above was needed.
we are all recipient to the POTENCY of these Bounteous WORDS..... how
to remove afflictions an grief.. 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.
the reward should you chant it ..is.. given to the one who chants it..
Mr. Luke Scott, you are an excellent example, as a devoted Baha'i of this Blessed Revelation, to the diverse youth population of our Beloved Faith! My humble prayers are that you will continue to be firm and steadfast in the Covenant and Testament of this Wondrous 🙏 Cause! Your sweet, gentle,, loving voice touches all deeply! Blessings on you and your beloved family always!
Im a child i would love to learn this god bless you all in one country

Perhaps my favourite Tablet of all. Such power, majesty. Thank you Luke.
My heart is so transported by this beautiful rendering that I cannot put it in words . God bless you and Kelly and your team
I did not know what to expect from this....but of course beautiful as allways. It lifts up my heart on a bad day. Thank you luke!
I love Luke Slott cause hes such a nice person
Thank you! This is a journey for which I was not prepared. I'm not sure I could have been prepared for such richness and depth. I don't recommend that anyone be driving while listening to this for the first time. I had to pull over because I was blinded by my tears. Again, thank you!
Just got back from Windstock 2019 and got to enjoy this on the ride back! Another beautiful work! Allahu-abha! -Navid
Heavenly. Such a tremendous step forward in the fortunes of Baha’i-inspired music. Fantastic originality.
Thanks Alison!
Love this so much! So rich and beautiful! It is helping me and my kids memorize the Tablet of Ahmad and so many other prayers you so beautifully put to music. Your music honestly brings tears to my eyes. Tomorrow I have a medical test I’m very nervous about and I will be listening to your playlist to get myself through it. 🙏
I’m just seeing this now dear Luke and wanted you to know your playlist got me through the difficult medical test and thanks to Bahaullah the results were ok too 🙏 I look forward to meeting you when you come to ottawa for the book tour of nineteen 🌸

Dearest Luke, how can I thank you azizam. The spirit of Jenab e Thownsand is inspiring you. You understood His message so beautifully. In Persian Poetry, many a times they repeat a verse. In a an artistic presentation, you can use creativity. You did a heroic job❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️You are inspired so very deeply. I always pray for you, azizam❤️❤️
Wow, thank you Forouz! I deeply appreciate that 🙏

❤️❤️🌹❤️❤️
Hamdillah for this amazing piece our prophet has left behind.
Allahuakbar.
God grant that the light of unity may envelop the whole earth and that the seal kingdom is God,s may be stamped upon the brow of all its peoples
The voices of the Abha Kingdom
The theme of your Baha'i opera
I like that idea Soroush!
What’s a great inspiration for me, as I learn it on Mandarin.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rely upon God🌹
Can you do the long heali g prayet
Baha,u,llah light world's, glory of the world's,
This is one of my favourite prayer as a song. Can you compose a song based on prayer for parents? Do you remember: what we ask God for our parents, He will give to us much more of the same thing.
dear Luke, we love this. Is it part of a CD we can purchase?
So glad you like it Cheshmak! Yes indeed, it is on my new album Gate of Heaven, available at lukeslott.bandcamp.com/
@@lukeslott wonderful thank you. I also bought some other of your music I didn’t have from iTunes. We listen in the car … one day I hope you will be in ottawa and my four little sweethearts can come on stage and sing one of your beautiful melodies with you 💕
i feel guilty now... I like it, should love it... then again, i'm glad you don't "hear" it the same way... speaks to pains you've not had to experience...
Beautifully performed. Whose the beautiful female voice with Luke?
Withhold not thyself therefrom.
it would have been better if you stuck to the original...if it were your words then ok to repeat lines but not to BAHA'U'LLAH'S WORDS... IT'S NOT YOURS TO CREATE...I HAVE READ SOME COMMENTS BELOW THEY ARE WONDERFUL...SORRY THAT'S HOW I FEEL...THANK YOU, YOU TRYED AND MANY LIKED IT...
Hi Simin, thanks for your concern about the words, I fully appreciate it. I followed this guidance from the Guardian so I understand it is ok for us to repeat the sacred words in music as long as it is in a reverent manner. I hope and pray that the repetitions don't detract from the meaning. I love this Tablet so much, sometimes I want to read every line again and again! Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the new music.
"In response to a question from a believer concerning minor alterations of words for the sake of correct accent or the addition of a word for the sake of perfect meter, the beloved Guardian stated the following:
"Slight alterations in the text of the prayers are permissible, and I would advise you to give a musical form to the revealed word itself which I feel will be exceedingly effective. I will pray that the Beloved may inspire you to accomplish this great service to His Cause."
(In the handwriting of Shoghi Effendi, appended to a letter dated 8 April 1931 written on his behalf to an individual believer)
@@lukeslott YOU ARE TRULY A BEAUTIFUL SOUL, Thank you and I am sorry for not doing my research and not being more well read in the Baha'i writings...I am sorry and very sad on my part... I was wrong...again THANK YOU for all you do to promote the FAITH i enjoy your works especially "THOUSAND VEILS"...ALLAH'U'ABHA...
Don't worry at all@@siminnajibi19! Please don't feel sorry or sad. We are all learning! I appreciate your concern about proper use of the writings - it is an important concern. Putting the sacred words to music is certainly delicate, and I sense your concern was genuine ❤️ Thanks for your kind response. I'm glad to know you enjoy 100,000 Veils!
This is a prayer not with musical instruments
Like the blonde Jesus, Ahmad has become blonde now? in thr near future we will definitely have blond portrait if Bahá’u’lláh’ and Abdul baha, oh white people!
