Message [Reply to a message of congratulations on the occasion of the New Year]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency, Gustav Hosak, President of the Republic of Czechoslovakia,

I acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's message on the occasion of the arrival of the new solar year with appreciation. I implore God Almighty to grant victory to the oppressed peoples of the world over the arrogant powers and colonialists, particularly the world-devouring US.
