Surely, this has been observed by His Eminence Master of the Age( may God Almighty expedite his glorious advent )and you will be awarded. I ask God Almighty for the success of their eminent distinguished `ulama' (may their blessings last). Please give my sincere appreciations to the honorable residents of Rafsanjan.
