In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Aqa Haj Sayyid Muhammad Jawad Husayni Rukni- may his graces last:
In order to continue religious activities and carry out religiously-ordained duties, it is necessary for your honor to remain in Bandar Lengeh and, as before, attend to the local affairs and the needs of the people. You must also acquaint the people of that region with their grave duties, particularly in this sensitive and fateful situation facing Islam.
I ask God the Almighty to give your honor and all the honorable gentlemen, continued success in serving Islam. Please convey my regards to the distinguished `ulama' and the esteemed people- may God Almighty assist them. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
