Decree [Necessity of compliance with the request of residents of Rasht stay in the city to officiate their religious and social activities]

In His Most Exalted Name

His Excellence, Hujjat al Islam wa'l-Muslimin Haj Shaykh Muhammad-`Ali Aminiyan (May his Blessings last long),

I received a letter signed by numerous residents and traders of Rasht appreciating your religious programs during the holy month of Ramadan, demanding your permanent residence in the city of Rasht. You are advised to accept the invitation of the honorable residents and to go there to meet their urgent need for guiding them towards their religious and social duties. I pray to God Almighty for the success of all of you. It is hoped that the honorable residents also appreciate His Eminence, not withholding the necessary cooperation in performing their duties. May peace and mercy of Allah be upon you!
