Siddiq Abdul-Majid Sulaiman left this earthly realm an hour after midnight on 4 February 2008. Born in Mosul , Iraq , in 1914, Mr. Sulaiman embraced the Baha'i Faith in the early 1940s and subsequently followed a distinguished career of service in his homeland. A high school teacher by profession, Mr. Sulaiman served, for a period in the 1950s, as the chairman of both the Baghdad Local Spiritual Assembly and the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Iraq. He was later imprisoned for the Faith, spending from 1973 to 1979 in Abu Ghraib prison.In the late 1940s and early 1950s, he lived in Alexandria , Egypt , where he received his Baccalaureate in the subject of philosophy from the Alexandria University . It was there that he met Anisa Abdul-Razzaq Abbas, another Bahá'í from Iraq , who was also studying at Alexandria University . They were married in 1952 and had three children: Abir, Alhan, and Ruwa. He is survived by Ms. Abbas, his children, and five grandchildren (Zina, Menar, Remz, Mona and Zane).Mr. Sulaiman passed away after a long decline in Bedford, NH. This video was created by Siddiq's grandchildren (Zina Irwin, Menar Irwin, Remz Pokorny, Mona Majid and Zane Pokorny) in his honor, for his memorial held on 9 February 2008.

What a fine man. What a fine family. This is the reason we are Baha'is. May we, too, forsake our lives as a sacrifice for this glorious Cause.

Your grandfather's sacrifices and wonderful services to the Cause of Baha'u'llah are testimony to his Faith and example of the dedication of Arab Bahais. May his soul rest in peace.
