Message from the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States

October 10, 2012

To the Family of Amin John Amirkia

Dearly loved Friends,

The National Spiritual Assembly was saddened to hear of the sudden departure of your dear son and brother, Mr. Amin John Amirkia, from this plane of existence. To lose a family member, especially when the loved one is young, is indeed a trial; our hearts go out to you at this difficult hour. Yet one may feel a measure of solace, inasmuch as this soul, at the beginning of his life, had devoted himself to serving the Cause with such resolve that he may be numbered among those who, in the words of our Beloved, “have passed beyond the narrow straits of names, and pitched their tents upon the shores of the sea of renunciation.”

Please accept our deepest condolences, and kindly convey them to Amin’s extended family and others of his loved ones. Be assured that the National Spiritual Assembly will remember you all in its prayers under the dome of the most holy Mashriqu’l-Adhkár, beseeching the Ancient Beauty to breathe a spirit of healing in your hearts, and to grant to dear Amin’s soul eternal joy and progress in all the worlds of God.

With tender Bahá’í love,

Kenneth E. Bowers
Secretary

National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States
