Message [Reply to a message of congratulations on the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Mr. Shaykh Za'id Bin Sultan Al-e Nahyan, Head of State of the United Arab Emirates,

The receipt of your congratulatory telegram on the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan is acknowledged with gratitude. Reciprocally, I extend my congratulations to Your Excellency and to the Muslim nation of your country on the holy month of Ramadan. It is hoped that by the favors of God and the blessings of this month, a fundamental change would take place in the pitiful life of the oppressed Muslims and deprived nations to deliver themselves from the oppressive domination of the enemies. May peace be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
