I love music and I listen to all kind of music, but yours is something which takes me away from this world. "We, verily, have made music as a ladder for your souls, a means whereby they may be lifted up unto the realm on high..." - Bahá'u'lláh. This is so true. I like everything about you, the instruments, the voice, the lyrics, the tune every bit. Please continue your good work. One more thing, I heard your music for the first time in the Most Holy Land, and now whenever I listen, where I am I see the Holy Shrines in front of me and the dawnbreakers alive..... :) God Bless you and your family for the good work.

Your music is spiritually uplifting and inspiring... it is the music created out of love to inspire souls and minds. It really brings me closer to The Creator and unlocks my conscious to explore reality, may the blessings be showered upon you at all times.

A sincere thank you for your wonderful and uplifting music. We are using two of your dvd songs at our Feast tonight. They will surely remind us of the greatness of the Faith.

We are from the small Kalifornsky Bahai community in Alaska and can only imagine the effort to produce your songs and now the DVD.

We really love your including the lyrics with your CD and your giving a short meaning of each song.

when I listened Divine Tapestry for the first time with that mixed of pictures of the house of Hadrate Alla(The Bab) in a flash, it was kind of a dream to me!it refers to 5 years ago!although I am not a bahai-born but i could find the soul of unity and love in every aspect of arts linked with the faith and after two years I could find the reality!I pray for you from here,Iran,the city of Urmia(which was named The soil of joy by Hadrate Alaa)near Maku! i really really thank you and blessed beauty be upon you friends.

Dear friends:
I want to tell you how much I enjoy Divine Tapestry. It's about to join my Favorites section on YouTube, if it's not there already. I first discovered it at the listening tree (?) in the House of Worship Bookstore in Wilmette, where I used to go and enjoy different music and check the latest books, while teaching there as a guide, and that song has really stuck with me. It's such a wonderful mix of East and West in music. Thank you for sharing your music with the world I hope to hear you in concert one of these days; inshallah...........

Allah-u-Abha,

I just wanted to express my thanks for the beautiful song, Divine Tapestry. I listened to it over and over as I gave birth to my daughter at home. It gave me the strength and inspiration to keep going, knowing that the hardship I was enduring at the time was nothing compared to the sacrafices that were made by Baha' u'llah.

This is what I understand to be the purpose of "Art".
Not only your work evokes appropriate feelings in the hearer but also it encourages further study of the source of your songs. I am amazed how wonderfully your music helps the stories you tell. You are in most gatherings we attend here in BC. Thank you for your work and attention to details.

Your music is drawn into my body and resonates within me as though it were my own heart beat, freeing me from my day and helping me to shed my ego.
I am lifted and carried on a wonderful wave of sound to the core of my being and I sit, eyes closed and listen.

Wow, wow, wow !!! You guys are fantastic!!! I love your wonderful songs and music. Our kids (Lua, Carmel and Enoch) love your songs and they listen to your music 7 days a week (dawn, noon, dusk, evening, and night). They are learning a lot about the history of the Bahai Faith and they ask lots of questions.

Keep up the good work. The world needs to hear your angelic voices. I can not wait to buy your new CD. I hope to see you soon in Winnipeg.

Hi Brett
Brett, I just checked out the interview clip from your new dvd video & it's awesome dude! Brett, do you think when you start touring with Stink oops I mean Sting & Gabriel Peters, do you think you could get their autographs for me? I could sell them on EBAY for a fortune man & seeing as my goldfish needs a heart transplant that money would really come in handy! All the best to you & yours..& see what you can do about those autographs ...my gold fish & I would forever be in your debt!

I heard your music for the first time at 2007 Grand Canyon Baha'i Conference in Phoenix, AZ and i loved it. Such inspiring songs and beautiful music. I cried with the "Kiss the Rope" a song dedicated to Mona. I bought both of your CDs at the conference, but none has the music with your violinist who played at the conference. I don't even see his picture on this website. He was amazing.

The first time I heard your music, my heart just melted right away... I also had a very strong spiritual feeling that your music was inspired by the Baha'i Faith and that just truly hit home when I read about it on your website.

Your music is truly divine and beautiful!
Thank you! :)

Under the Lote Tree is the most spiritual provoking cd I have ever heard. I constantly listen to, so much so that its starting to skip and i'll soon need to purchase a new one. Please, continue your efforts in creating transcending music.

In your debt,

Dear Friends, Allah'u'Abha
I found your music completely by accident and found myself stuck on your page replaying the songs over and over, it was such a delight to find out they were baha'i inspired songs. They are so incredibly beautiful, thank you from the bottom of my heart and best of luck for your musical endeavours.
With all my love, lina

Allah'u'Abha, my companions!
I just wanted to voice my pleasure of Open the Gates. The first time I heard Divine Tapestry I was simply taken away when the last minute broke down the chains holding my soul inside this meek body. Singing and music truly are the spiritual foods of the hearts and souls of mankind!

Flora Wong

I really like your music and songs....your music and song really can uplift inner being and soul....:)

Kenny

June 7, 2007

I have to concur with individual who felt Open the Gates could not be topped, Under the Lote Trees takes my soul to that same place over and over again. "With a word Nabil kindled the fire of love in his heart," your music truly is a veritable ladder for the soul and kindles that same love in my heart.
