Letter [to Sayyid Muhammad-Husayn Mousawi]

In His Most Exalted Name

His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Aqa Sayyid Muhammad-Husayn Mousawi (may his graces last):
I was most grateful to receive Your Eminence's kind letter. I would like to commend the distinguished `ulama' for their considerable efforts in holding the sessions on Saturday evenings and gathering on Fridays; «1» may it be appreciated by His Eminence Master of the Age (may God Almighty expedite his glorious advent) and be rewarded.

It is needless to say that now, while the enemies of Islam are trying to tarnish Islam and its holy laws, it is the duty of the distinguished `ulama' and propagators of the sacred religion (may their graces last) to strengthen their unity and to prevent the possible dangers through total solidarity.

It is also the duty of the Muslim people and the faithful in different cities to follow the orders of the distinguished `ulama' (may their graces last) and to consolidate their social gatherings, attending the mosques and religious meetings in order and calm, without provoking the enemies, and to implore God Almighty to help us.

I ask God Almighty for the success of all the gentlemen and for the grandeur of Islam and the Muslims. I hope for your benevolent prayers. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
