Decree [Appointment of the Trustee to the holy shrine of Mashhad]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Eminence Haj Shaykh `Abbas Wa`iz Tabasi- May his graces last long,

Considering the records you have in the administrative affairs of the holy shrine of Eighth Imam, Imam Rida (peace of God be upon him and his impeccable ancestors) besides the confidence in this respect that you invite, you are vested with the authority of Superintendent of the said holy shrine. It is your duty to preserve and safeguard all the belongings, particularly the library, the treasure, the contents of the grave under the tomb, and the donations under the endowments and etc with utmost care and vigilance. And it is to you to protect the belongings and possessions getting wanted and lost. The respected staff and the personnel of the servants shall extend their cooperation in this effort.

The thing that is necessarily to be remarked here is that none of the governmental organs, such as Jahad-e Sazandegi, Ministry of Guidance and any ordinary people have any right to interfere or intervene in the endowments and all other things related to the holy shrine.

I pray to God for the success of those who are in the divine service.

May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
