"Laleh Bakhtiar, an Islamic and Sufi scholar and the first American Muslim women to produce a translation of the Quran, passed away peacefully on Sunday October 18, 2020 in Chicago, from Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a rare blood disorder. She was 82." Dr. Bakhtiar wasn't only a Let's Care interviewee but was so much more. She was bold, and stood up for positive impact she believed in -- regardless of the risk. Even in her passing, the world is left with countless artifacts of her impact -- including 25 published books about Islam, Sufism, and more, and numerous interviews, videos, and storytelling pieces by a variety of outlets and storytellers, including her daughter Davar Ardalan (NPR, SecondMuse, White House Presidential Innovation Fellows, National Geographic). Laleh has a legacy like no other, and it will continue to live on and change lives far beyond her passing -- through her family and those who loved her and through all she touched.
