In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The prominent `ulama' and Hujaj al-Islam of Bustanabad (may their blessings last) :
I was most grateful to receive your kind letter containing your condolences on the grave disaster brought to Islam and the Muslims. «2» I hope God Almighty will compensate for the bereavement through Your Eminences' benevolent prayers.
You have to notice that the contemporary generation is today responsible for protecting Islam and its laws, especially `ulama' who are accountable more than anyone else is. It is necessary that they announce their support for what I state, through declarations and publications, so that we may be able to force the government to accept our legal requests. Anyway, we should utilize the prayer sessions and religious gatherings for this purpose. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
