In His Most Exalted Name
Muharram 5,1398 AH
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you. I have received with thanks your esteemed letter indicating your well-being and expressing your sympathy for me on this tragedy. May the Exalted Lord give you health and success. It is hoped that God the Almighty will give us success in traversing with a clean soul, this perilous path to serve Islam and the Muslims. Please do not forget me in your benevolent prayers for my salvation. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
