Letter [to Sayyid Shahabuddin Mar`ashi Najafi (one of the maraji` at-taqlid)]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Eminence Ayatullah Najafi (may his blessings last):

I was most happy to receive your kind letter that indicated Your Eminence's health, and contained your kind sympathies and affections. I ask God Almighty for Your Eminence's health and happiness. I am fine, thanks to God, and there is no need to worry. Whatever God Almighty has predestined is fine. May I be able to accept divine predestination easily. I ask God Almighty for Your Eminence's health and success.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
