Amin’s second-cousin, Adel Missaghian and his daughter Samara visited the resting place of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith in London last week. Special prayers in Amin’s memory were said at this Holy site.
Shoghi Effedi’s death also came unexpectedly. He passed away while sleep during a visit to London on 4 November 1957. His wife Mary Maxwell – entitled Rúhíyyih Khanum – sent the following cable to the Bahá’í communities throughout the world:
