SA‘ADAT OSTOVAR
(Sa‘édatu’lláh Ustuvér) 1931—1996
The news of the passing of the beloved pioneer Mr. Sa‘édatu’lláh Ustuvér saddened our hearts. Please assure his Family and friends that the Universal House ofjustice will pray for the progress of his soul, whose only wish was to serve the Cause of the Blessed Beauty and who entered the Abhá Kingdom while in the arena of service, so that, God willing, he may be blessed under the sheltering shadow of His love. Also please assure Qudssiyyih, his beloved wife, and his son Herald of prayers in the Holy Shrines so that confirmation and patience may be bestowed upon them by the Blessed Beauty.

had been living but a couple of months. His passing away at a pioneering post culminated a life of service to the Cause.
The Ostovars had resided in Colorado Springs, Colorado, since their emigration from Iran in 1970. Sa‘adat served on the Local Spiritual Assembly there and was an assistant to an Auxiliary Board member. He was a loving father and a hard worker who was fulfilling a lifetime dream by pioneering to Russia after his retirement in September of1995. Since that time the Ostovars had lived in Kiev, Moscow, and Astrakhan. Sa‘adat’s life ended abruptly with a heart attack, while he and a friend were taking a morning walk. Besides his wife, he left one son, Herald.
