Message [Reply to telegraph of congratulation on the occasion of the New Year of the lunar hijiea calendar]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Mr. Shazli bin Jadid President of Algeria,

I acknowledge the receipt of your telegraph yesterday congratulating on the occasion of the arrival of the New Year of the lunar hijira calendar and extend my appreciation. It is hoped that Islamic governments in this New Year think out a way to give order to the miserable situation of Muslims and under the canopy of unity and solidarity inspired from the exhilarating teachings of Islam put an end to the evil domination of enemies over Muslims. May God's peace and mercy be upon you!

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
