From the upcoming book, 'Hosts of the Seen and the Unseen' by Shirin Sabri, and the story, 'A Sufficient Testimony': Here, in the city of Yazd, Persia, Sakinih Sultan, wife of 'Ali-Asghar, is working at the family loom weaving cloth. She survived the very cruel martyrdom of her husband and his young brother, both falsely accused as Baha'is hatching a plot to unseat the Shah. After this her daughter was born, and they both went to live in the Holy Land and to serve 'Abdu'l-Baha, the son of Baha'u'llah and head of the Baha'i Faith at that time.
