Message [Expressing gratitude to the Muslim nation of Iran]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

To all brothers-in-faith (may God Almighty assist them):

Expressing my deepest gratitude and regards, I have the honor to thank all the Muslims for their pure and intimate sympathy and support on this vital issue, which had affected all of us. I ask God Almighty for everybody's success, health and assistance. Indeed, in this Islamic movement, you would be held in high esteem before God, the Exalted, and honored in front of His Divine Eminence, the Master of the Age and the Monarch of the Day (may God Almighty expedite his advent). The Potent Hand of God Almighty supports you. I hope you will enjoy the fruit of this religious movement in this world and the hereafter. Your overwhelming religious uprising taught the foreigners a lesson. I have to notify you that Muslims should be more vigilant than ever; they should keep guard on their situation and interests of Islam and strengthen their unity so that they can cut off any impure hands that may try to encroach on their sanctities. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
