ÁQÁ MUHAMMAD-ŞADIQ MUNJADHIB (Aqa Sadeq Munjazeb) - 1994[edit]
It is with broken hearts that we announce the ascension of the courageous soul, Aqa Sadeq Munjazeb who carried along the torch of the Faith from the most difficult period of Bolshevism to our present time of openness and freedom of the Faith, on 14th August 1994.
On behalf of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Uzbekistan
Mr. Munjazeb is buried in Shahzindih Cemetery in Samarkand next to the resting places of two other early believers: his mentor, Mr. Tamhid, who was a prolific poet, and Mr. Mírahrár. It is in the same cemetery that two other prominent figures in the history of the Faith are also buried: the Letter of the Living Mullá ‘Alí Bajistání

and Dr. At’u’llah Khán-i Afghání, the first declared believer in Samarkand through Mirza Abu’l-Fadl.

On October 17, 1994, the Department of the Secretariat wrote:
Your message, pertaining to the ascension of the beloved servant of Bahá’u’lláh, Aqa Muhammad-Sádiq Munjadhib, was conveyed to the Universal House of Justice by Mr. Mas’ud Rawshan.
The House of Justice was grieved by this news and prayed in the Holy Shrines for the progress of the noble soul of that zealous believer.
Mr. Munjadhib was truly devoted to the promotion of the Faith throughout his entire life and raised the banner of the most great guidance in those regions. Furthermore, imprisonment, exile, and severe hardship did not deviate him from the path of devotion. The believers and especially the friends and family of the deceased will undoubtedly follow in his footsteps and will rise up in service with the same fervour. It is hoped that a monument will be built for him, so that it may remind the friends of the degree of sacrifice endured by that essence of perseverance.
The Universal House of Justice will pray in the Holy Shrines for the Munjadhib family, so that they may, more than ever, be rendered successful in the arenas of service and devotion. The House of Justice will also pray for Mr. Niját Munjadhib.
