Message [Reply to a message of congratulations for auspicious Feast Fitr]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Highness Mr. Ma`moun `Abdul-Qayyoum, President of the Maldives,

I acknowledge the receipt of your message of congratulations on the occasion of the arrival of auspicious Feast of Fitr with appreciation. Reciprocally, I congratulate this great Islamic feast to you and the Muslim people of your country. It is hoped that Muslims of the world repel the evil presence of the enemies of Islam- such as Saddam and the criminal party ruling the Islamic country of Iraq- in the light of unity and solidarity and restore their lost glory under the superb teachings of Islam. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you!

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
