Letter [to Sayyid Muhammad Rida Golpaygani]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Honorable Ayatullah Golpaygani- may his blessings last- Qum:

We received your telegraph expressing, your concerns over the situation. May your guidance and that of all the other religious authorities and distinguished spiritual leaders bring about calm and engender abidance by the criteria of Islamic brotherhood, God willing. It is obvious that the differences are not deep-rooted and that everybody, thanks be to God, is loyal to the Islamic Republic and acts according to its precepts, and the verbal complaints will, God willing, end in an understanding. The gentlemen should be reminded that with all the difficulties facing the country and the dangers anticipated for Islam and the Muslims, these confrontations will benefit the enemies and are not logically and religiously admissible. I pray to the Almighty for the rectification of the problems and for the glory of Islam and the Muslims. I also pray for your honor's health and happiness. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
