In the middle of the night of August 5, 1972, Ishráq-Khávarí woke up with a pain in the chest but before any help could be rendered he passed away.

Ishráq Khávarí ranslated into Persian The Dawn-Breakers; Tibyán va Burhán (two volumes); Dalil va Irshád. His original works include a calendar, recording important data during the first Bahá'í century; a study outline for the Kitáb-i-Iqán (in four volumes); study outlines for two epistles from the Guardian, dated 100 and 105 B.E.; a refutation of an attack on the Cause; Muházarát (talks on various subjects at Bahá'í Conferences); a short account of the life of the Purest Branch; a brief biography of Muhammad 'All Salmání. In addition, he authored books on non-Bahá'í subjects and made many compilations from Bahá'í Holy Writings. One of the most useful of these is Ganjínih-i-Hudúd va Ahkám which gives the laws and ordinances of the Kitáb-iAqdas and texts from other Holy Writings bearing upon them.

These books, essays and compilations will remain as a lasting tribute to Ishráq-Khávarí's services to the Cause of God in the early stages of its Formative Age.
