Letter [to `Abdul-Jalil Jalili]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Eminence `Imad al-`Ulama al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Jalili, may his blessings last:

I would like to acknowledge the receipt your kind letter, indicating your health and inquiring about my health, for which I am grateful. At this crucial juncture that struggle of the oppressed Iranian nation is passing through a very sensitive stage which determines its death or life, nothing is more destructive than discord. I expect you and all the honorable `ulama' of Kermanshah to maintain unity of word and cooperate all together in this sacred movement, for if God forbid this is defeated, our Muslim nation will eternally remain in misery, torture, oppression and inequity.

Another issue is that, since the people of that region have played a crucial role in the movement, convey my regards to them and thank them on my behalf; also thank the members of the respected tribes of Ahl Haqq, Souleh, Sanjabi, Javanroud, Paveh, and Valadbeigi and other tribal families. Please pray for me. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
