The Email Log

We have been inundated by the hundreds of beautiful letters, cards, phone calls, and emails.  Your words assiduously attended to our emotional comfort and deserve an equally heartfelt response.  This is our response, appreciation, and gratitude to each and every one of you. As a tribute to Jahan’s free and freed spirit, the messages of condolences are posted in this E-mail Log as an indication that she was admired much by many.

Dear Zaman,

Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss of Jahan. I was shocked and saddened and praying for you and your family during this difficult time . I visited Jahan's website and was very impressed with her significant humanitarian work throughout her life- you and your family must be very proud of her legacy.

I also lost my wife too early. Nancy passed away in 1994 after a one year battle with a brain tumor. She was only 46. I remarried after 12 years to  a wonderful friend , Dorothy, in 2006, who was a friend and classmate of my younger brother, Alan, in the Class of 1970 at Anacortes.

I understand the pain and difficulty of losing a loved one too early in life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love

Les and Dorothy Moller

Professor Stanizai,

I was so so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear wife. When I saw you at Pacifica a couple weeks back, I did not know about this sadness in your heart.  But I know now, and I am sending you many prayers.

I was so touched that you were in the audience for my oral defense; your presence meant so much.

I shall go to the web site that you and your family have created, and again, all my condolences.

Bowing with gratitude and grace,

What an awful loss, Zaman. 40 years of relationship--this is a tough road. Solitude is hardest to bear when you have known life without it.

So many of us care for you and believe in you. I hope that does its small bit in parting your dark night. I know from all that you have written that deep within you is a place where solitude holds with it ecstasis. May you find that sweet spot in your meditations and there also your cherished Jahan.

With very warm regards,

Your friend,

Deborah

She certainly is a very remarkable woman who will continue to inspire those who love her, radiating out to those, like me, who have only just the tiniest of glimpses of her life. I am profoundly touched. 

May the coming days, weeks, months, and years hold each of your family members tenderly, with her essence infusing your lives always.

My condolences for your loss. She seems like a very inspirational person indeed. Best wishes for you and your family.

I am currently working at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System doing a one-year fellowship in patient safety. It is challenging, but I aim to do my best in contributing to the safety of hospital patients by reducing medical errors. I am not sure where I will end up working upon my completion here. We'll see how well I handle the winter here in Pittsburgh. I don't miss Los Angeles yet. Whatever happens to me and where ever I go, I'm sure it'll be an adventure, and I will use my Buddhist practice to meet my challenges head on.

Peace to you, and please stay in touch.

Dear Zaman,

I cannot tell you how honored I am to receive this notice from you, though I am overwrought with emotion that the life of this beautiful soul should have left your side so prematurely. 

As you have so eloquently expressed, love and beauty are but a reflection of God's love and beauty. And so we know that the spirit of your beloved wife, Jahan, lives on through the spirit of the Divine, and through all of us who serve the divinity within.

I can only offer that the fruit of Jahan's endeavors are soon to blossom in the hearts of humanity in the coming months and years and throughout eternity--and I know that she will know that her intentions for truth and justice did indeed make a difference. 

May there be perfect peace for you and your family on this blessed day.

Love, Laurie

Dear Zaman,

Such a pleasure seeing you at the CCAIA meeting at the Iman Center yesterday.  Thank you so much for coming.

I  was there when Jahan laughed and laughed at the neighbor's parrot.  What Stephen didn't mention was how she somehow connected the whole experience to God in that moment.  If I remember correctly, she mentioned Rumi.

Mr. Stanizai, it is truly my honor to be connected and get the benefit of your amazing insight, wisdom and thoughtfully crafted messages.  I am truly sorry for your big loss, my sincere condolences.  Wish I was closer and to attend and extend my respect to you and entire family but hope that I will have an opportunity to meet you in person.

Sincerely,

Atta Arghandiwal

Award winning Author, Lost Decency

Zaman, I so appreciate this beautiful commemoration of Jahan and reading the huge display of support you have received. Jahan was clearly an amazing woman with the energy and passions of a hundred souls. Her flame burned so brightly but much too shortly (forgive the overused metaphor, but in Jahan's case it seems so true). I feel particularly upset that during such contentious times someone as prepared as Jahan is taken from us. 

My thoughts and heart are with you and your family. I think about you often and always with the hope that you will be held in love during this time. Your work continues to be needed and your presence in the world is very important.

Although we don't know each other well I am fond of you and would do anything for you and your lovely family. Please let me know if there is anything you need. I am not far from Los Angeles.

Thank-you for staying in touch with me all these years. 

Salaam,  

Deborah

Dear Stanizai Family,
 
It is always sad to lose one who is so loved by all. We have been out of town and today recieved this notice of Jahan's last days and of the eloquent speech spoken by Zaman. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Jahan as so many did, nor did we press hands in friendship, but to all the family, please accept our most sincere condolences over her death.
 
And dear, dear Zaman I did go to the  dot org website and read some beautiful words. Sorry we cannot be at the Interfaith Community services to honor her. Our thoughts are with you always. Peace,

Gene Rothman

I will never forget Jahan. At the CCAIA, she shepherded the completion of the Peace Declaration with patience and perseverance. This Peace Declaration might, I hope, become part of her ongoing legacy. I should make clear that Jahan and I had our differences. I have long been an advocate for the rights of Palestinians, but we did not always see eye to eye about the Middle East. That said, I both respected and admired her willingness to be outspoken about her views. I have participated in--and know about--many Muslim-Jewish dialogue groups. One of them maintains its bonds by agreeing not to discuss Israel and Palestine. This, in my view, is not the way to make progress. I certainly prefer Jahan’s path of first establishing bonds of friendship and then moving toward dialogue about our differences. What I learned from Jahan on a personal level is the importance of being willing to move beyond one’s comfort zone and engage in such dialogue. I did not do enough of this with her, but I have vowed to do better in the future. This is her legacy to me on a personal level. I will miss her presence and her willingness to speak truth to power.

Ali Siddiqui

Dear ZamanWe were so saddened to hear of Jahan's passing. Although her loss has left her family and friends grieving, the time will soon come for gathering all the beauty and accomplishments of her life into the pages of memory, to be held in your hearts forever. You will find comfort in memory, for it is a beautiful place where loved ones are reunited and in time, tears will be replaced with a gentle hug, each time you remember.

We're holding you close in our thoughts, dear friend.  As we offer our prayers for Jahan, we also pray that the love of God surrounds you and your children so that you feel His Compassion, His Grace and His Love, leaving you in peace and comfort. 

With our heartfelt condolences,

Ali and Doris Siddiqui

Dear Zaman Agha:

I hope you are doing well!  I was unable to find the typed translation of the poem titled Rose by itself, it is at the end of the letter I wrote to everyone when my father passed away. You can read it in the attachment.

There is a movie named "Love Comes Softly" which is based on a novel; among many other things that helped me, when I lost my beloved ones; it is heart-warming. Just as in the movie, I found myself in a deserted place in the middle of nowhere. But life always has its own strange turns and surprises.

May your life be filled with peace and joy!

Regards,

Pirayeh

I and my wife were both shocked, more than anything, and still can not believe it, as she was not much older than me. Sorry that we could not attend her memorial service, as we are not in Los Angeles at this time.

She is most certainly a soul of wonder ~ whether on earth or in paradise. Even so, it is painful beyond recognition for us to lose those we love so deeply, it is our heart that breaks.

Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and depth of consciousness.

I am hoping to send you something to your home or office, whatever is appropriate. Is there a postal address you can share? Yesterday,  you were in my thoughts as well. What a challenging day it must have been, for all of you, to honor and lose someone so deeply connected to others, in this earthen world.

With love,

Salam, I wanted to email you to tell you how sorry I am about what happened to Mustafa's mom...she was truly one of a kind.. She was always honest even when the truth hurt, because she had the ability to foretell the future if something was ever based on a lie.... She had a way of giving advice that would stick and that would not go out the other ear.... I've spent many hours with her, and yes, we may have bumped heads at times, but I would always look forward to hanging out with; how could I not, she had a hand in raising Moose, so she was anything but 

ordinary.... I wish I could've seen her one last time, to just sit with her, be in her presence, because I am going to miss her.. I know she's in a better place, and all we can do is pray that we'll get though this, iA...

Hi Zaman,

I am so sorry to hear of Jahan's passing. I just looked at my email which was too late to attend the celebration of her life today. However I will add her name to our parish book of prayers and intentions so one more faith community is thinking and praying for her, and for you and your family.  I did not know her long or have much opportunity to sit and listen to her thoughts, but I will always remember her loving tribute to you at the Sufi prayer program at the Skirball museum several  years ago. I also heard her comments on civility on your website and have bookmarked the IRC-SoCal website to review their goals and mission in greater detail later.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do during this difficult time.

As always, peace and blessings,

Carolyn

Thank you so much for inviting me to the service for your dear Jahan.  It was a blessing to be there and to know what a lovely son, son-in-law and daughters you have.  I pray they will be an encouragement to you in the days and weeks ahead as well as you to them.  And I’m so glad Jahan’s family are nearby to support you during these difficult times.  I included some scriptures that I hope might be of comfort to you, Zaman.  You and your family are in my prayers.  God bless, Jean

P.S. It was a most touching ceremony, thank you again.

P.S. The bulletin for lovely Jahan was so special too.

With great sadness & empathy, my heart reaches out to you and your family.

Jahan, such Beauty and Strength, always was such a Presence when I was fortunate to see and speak with her at Evans' events.

What a great loss to the world, yet she left the world a more beautiful place.

Regretfully, I'm in San Diego this weekend, otherwise I would certainly have joined you, your family and our Evans' family at her memorial.

August 20 is my birth date,and I will always keep her and you in my thoughts.

We are so sorry to learn of Jahan’s passing.  Thank you for letting us know.  Although we haven’t seen or spoken with her since that dinner at your apartment in Seattle so long ago, in a very real way you brought her with you during your recent visit here, when you spoke about her, described your home together and showed us photographs.  Thank you for bringing her, however briefly, into our lives again. 

We regret that we are unable to attend the memorial service tomorrow, but know that we are thinking of you and your family in this difficult time. 

Peace and Blessings.

از جمادی مردم و نامی شدم                  وز نما مردم ز حیوان سر زدم

مزدم از حیوانی و آدم شدم             پس چه ترسم ؟ کی ز مردن کم شدم

حمله ی دیگر بمیرم از بشر                    تا برآرم از ملایک پرّو سر

وز ملک هم بایدم جستن ز جو                   کلِ شیئیٌ هالک الّا وجهُهُ

بار دیگر از ملک پرّان شوم                     آنچه اندر وهم ناید آن شوم

پس عدم گردم عدم  ، چون ارغنون                  گویدم کانّا الیه راجعون

بازگشت همه ی ما به سوی اوست

دوست عزیز و دانشمندم

در از دست دادن یک عزیز چه می توان گفت که مایه ی تسلای خاطر بازماندگان شود؟ زبان از بیان باز می ماند و ذهن از گردش ایام در حیرت. فکر می کنم همین سفر پیش بود که سرکار خانم جهان را دیدم و کمی گفت و گو کردیم. اینک او در میان ما نیست. مطمئنم که در جایی بسی بهتر از این دنیای خاکی ما به سر می برد. بر اثر این گونه رویدادهاست که شخص به شکنندگی خود و این جسم ضعیف پی می برد. راهی است که همه باید برویم. جالب است که من هم در این سفر که تهران بودم برای خودم قبر خریدم. واقعاً که: کل شیئیٌ هالک الا وجهه

ولی به اعتقاد ما،علیرغم از بین رفتن این جسم خاکی، زندگی ادامه پیدا می کند. و برای افراد نازنینی مثل سرکار خانم جهان در جایی بهتر و محیطی فرح افزاتر

من درگذشت زودهنگام سرکار خانم جهان را به شما دوست گرانمایه ام و فرزندانتان تسلیت می گویم وبرایتان بقای عمر توأم با عزت و افتخار آرزو می کنم

دیر و زود این شکل و شخص نازنین                      خاک باید بودن و خاکش غبار

وړاندې له هرڅه لومړۍ تاسو ته د لوی خدای (ج) له لوی دربارڅخه د ستر صبر او زغم هیله او غوښتنه کوم. موږ ټول دغه لار مخ کې لرو او بالاخره وروسته یا شاته په همدغې لار ور روان یو، یوازی هغه څه چې مهمه دی هغه دا دی چې له ښو او غوره اعمالو سره هغې نړی ته سفر وکړو او په دې دنیا کې زړه سواندي دعا ګویان له موږ څخه پاتې وي. زه فکر کوم چې ستا په شان دانشمند، با ایمان او ستر شخصیت چې خپل د ژوند ډير کلونه یی انسانانو ته د خدمت لپاره وقف کړی وي او ستاسو د کورنۍ ټول غړي؛په دې دنیا کې آغلې متوفیٍهِ ته د بخښنې او مغفرت دعا وکړي چې دا په خپله لویه نیکمرغي ده چې موږ او تاسو د خپګان او ماتم پرځای په هغه عمل وکړو.

بیا هم ماما جانه پوهیږم چې ډير سخته تمامیږی چې خپل عزیزان او نږدی کسان په ژوند کې له لاسه ورکړو او زه پوهیږم چې په تاسو څه تیریږي. په دې توګه غواړم چې له تاسو سره غم شریکي وکړم او د لوی څښتن له دربار څخه د متوفیٍهِ لپاره د فردوس جنت هیله کوم!

I wish you and your family great fortitude and sabar at this sad and traumatic time.

گران او قدرمن ماما جانه!
د نن جمعی سهار رشتیا په یو اسفباره خبر پیل شو. مرحومی مامانی جانی ته برین جنتونه، د لوی رب رضا او تاسو او کورنی ته مو شایسته صبر غوارم.
مرینه یی یوه لوی ضایعه ده او مونز تول یی دلته غمجن کرو. ای کاش لاری نژدی وای درسره وای او خدمت مو کری وای.
تاسو ته یو حل بیا له لوی حستن حخه د صبر غوشتونکی یو.
انا لله و انا الیه راجعون.
په لور تمکین،
راید

Dear Zaman, Sarah, family and friends: 

I am most sad to hear of Jahan's passing.  We had been told that she was not recovering from the chemo, and I was often inquiring of Rev. Basia as to how she was doing, but her actual transition was hard for me to accept as actually having happened..

Yet I know of Jahan's great spirit, and I know how much she contributed to the lives of so many people.  She will long be remembered and appreciated for the life she led.  We wish you, Zaman, and her daughter Sarah, the best in accepting her passing and knowing that her spirit lives on.  She was a wonderful example to countless numbers of people, and many prayers were spoken and shared in her behalf.

Please let us know when the memorial service will be held so that we can attend.

Love and blessings,

Leland
