In His Most Exalted Name
Night of Dhou'l-Qa`dah 4,1387 AH
I beg to inform you that your noble missive that was expressive of your emotions and good health is hereby acknowledged. The goodwill of you gentlemen makes me so hopeful. I hope Almighty God will treat me through such goodwill of yours. In my view the situation is not of importance. God is the protector of the house and we must act according to our duty. Now whether a result ensues or not should not concern us; that's up to Him. What concerns us all is the preservation of the prestige of knowledge and that of Islam and act upon the divine duties. Please pray so that we all become successful. It is hoped that Almighty God will familiarize everyone with this issue. The availability or unavailability of the stipend, the house being open or closed, and the flowing in of the funds or lack of it, don't matter. Rather, all these are tests which we should handle with utmost patience." God encompasses them from all sides." «1» There is nothing left of this world for man to spend time worrying about the lack of it. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
