In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam, the venerable orator, Mr. Sayyid `Abdur-Rida Hijazi (may his graces last):
I was most grateful to receive your very kind letter. I commend you on your considerable efforts and the hardships and limitations you have undergone and still do. May it be appreciated His Eminence Master of the Age (may Allah Almighty expedite his glorious advent) and be rewarded.
About Doulab Mosque, I will take proper action, God willing, if the residents of the place would refer to me. I ask God Almighty for Your Eminence's constant success in promoting the sacred religion and exalting the pure word of Islam and defending its domain. I hope you will not forget me in your benevolent prayers whenever you feel God accepts them. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
