Message [Reply to telegraph of congratulation on the occasion of auspicious Qurban Feast]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Mr. Shaykh Za'id Bin Sultan Al-e Nahyan- Head of UAE Government,

I acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's telegraph congratulating the arrival of auspicious Qurban Feast and extend my appreciation. Reciprocally, I congratulate this great Muslim feast to you and your Muslim country. It is hoped that Islamic nations by inspiring from the life-giving school of Islam can knit their ranks more tightly in the face of the enemies and regain their lost glory. May God's peace and mercy be upon you!

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
