The students of Persian-speaking group in Europe of the Union of the Islamic Societies- may Almighty God always assist them:
Your noble missive dated Ramadan al-Mubarak 23 was received and made me aware of the content. It calls for thanks and appreciation that the younger generation is attentive to such issues and they seek remedies. Unfortunately, until now the treacherous hands of imperialism have, through different means, created a deep gap between the younger generation and the illustrious issues of the faith as well as the valuable precepts of Islam. They misrepresent the younger generation to the clergy and vice versa. As a result, the unity of thoughts and action was destroyed and it paved the way for wicked intentions. It is further unfortunate that these same mysterious systems prevented the educated class to contemplate on the sacred precepts of Islam- in particular its organizational, social and economic laws. Using various propagandas, they shammed the idea that everything that Islam has to offer is praying precepts and nothing else. Whereas Islam's political and social laws outnumber its praying topics. Now, my days are numbered and I hope that Almighty God will give you, the educated class, the opportunity to endeavor in the course of the Islamic objectives, one of which is the cutting off of the hands of the oppressors, and the uprooting of despotism and imperialism. Try to study the Islamic heavenly laws, which have descended from the very source of the divine revelations, which deal with all aspects of life and are more practical and more beneficial than all other religious duties. Do not fall under the influence of the foreigners' spiteful propaganda. I pray to Almighty God for your success and the grandeur of Islam and the Muslims.
