Message [Sending a representative to Firdaws]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

The respected people of Firdaws- may God Almighty assist them:

In keeping with the request of the esteemed gentlemen, His Eminence Thiqat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Aqa Shaykh Isma`il Firdaws- may his graces last- will proceed to that place in order to attend to the religious affairs and local problems. It is hoped that the respected inhabitants would avail themselves of the opportunity to benefit by his presence and extend any necessary cooperation to him in order to achieve the lofty goals of Islam. I also hope that with the cooperation of the distinguished `ulama'- may their blessings last- and the esteemed people, he will, God willing, be able to discharge the duties given to him in the best possible manner. I pray to God Almighty for the continued success of all. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
