Message [Reply to congratulatory message on the occasion of the New Lunar Hijri Year]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Your Excellency Shadhli Bin Jadid, President of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria,

Thank you for the congratulatory message on the New Hijri Year. Unfortunately, the New Year comes at a time when the Muslims of the world are afflicted with various sorrows and confronted with various conspiracies by the enemies of Islam and especially the world-devouring America. The tragedy of Lebanon is one of them. More unfortunate is that many of the rulers of the Muslim countries instead of taking effective measures for eliminating these tragedies and confrontation with these conspiracies are literally providing encouragement to them for committing these crimes. In the process, they are paving the way for the entry of America into the Muslim countries and pillaging of the material and spiritual resources of the Muslim nations and are signing new contracts with them daily." We are from God and unto Him is our return." May God's peace and mercy be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
