Dearest friends,
Would anyone be able to share any knowledge about the meaning of the phrase "in
the wondrous accents of Iraq" in the passage below:
"In unfolding these mysteries, We have, in Our former Tablets which were
addressed to a friend in the melodious language of Hijaz, cited a few of the
verses revealed unto the Prophets of old. And now, responding to your request,
We again shall cite, in these pages, those same verses, uttered this time in
the wondrous accents of Iraq, that haply the sore athirst in the wilds of
remoteness may attain unto the ocean of the divine presence, and they that
languish in the wastes of separation be led unto the home of eternal reunion."
(Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 19)
Most grateful,
Ramin
