To the Blessed Presence of Hadrat Ayatullah al-`Uzma Nayib al-Imam Khomeini:

With greetings and expression of affection, I would like to say that at this time when the oppressed nation of Afghanistan has arisen against mercenary foreign-installed government and the enemy of Islam; the general public and especially the Shi`ah are under great economic pressure. Therefore, it is hoped that in all war-ravaged areas, especially in areas where your servants are performing their duties that includes the residents of Ghazni and its districts, Qarabagh, Nahour, Jughtou and the residents of Herat; the region under authority of Muhammad Husayn Shaykhzadeh Ghaznavi and the respected Turkmen clans; and Qoulkhish region which is the scope of service of Nour Ahmad Taqaddusi; and likewise, the scope of service of Sayyid Husayn Mousawi, «1» you kindly grant the permission to accept their religious payments, especially the blessed Share of the Imam( `a )of those regions to be spent on religious affairs and the oppressed of those regions." May God continue His endorsement and support of you."

Your servants,

Sayyid Husayn Mousawi,

Nour Ahmad Taqaddusi,
