Born in Mosul, Iraq, in 1914, Mr. Sulaiman was a high school teacher by profession. In the early 1940s, he became a member of the Bahá’à Faith and subsequently followed a distinguished career of service to the Bahá’à Faith in his homeland. Mr. Sulaiman served, for a period in the 1950s, as the chairman of both the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’Ãs of Baghdad and the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’Ãs of Iraq. He was later imprisoned for his religious beliefs, spending from 1972 to 1978 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’à from Iraq, who was also studying at Alexandria University. They were married in 1952 and had three children: Abir Majid of Maple Grove, MN, Alhan Irwin of Nashua, NH, and Ruwa Pokorny of Amherst, NH
He came to the United States with his wife in May 1990 and later became an American citizen. He lived in Nashua, NH, for a number of years before going to Harborside in 2003.
He is survived by his wife, his children, their spouses, and five grandchildren.
