In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
[A delegation from Sudan, headed by Dr. Hasan Turabi, the vice president of that country, met and conferred with Imam Khomeini in Qum in the 11 th of Tir. In this meeting, the message of Sudan's President, Mr. Ja`far Nimeiri, was submitted to the Imam. The head of the Sudanese delegation stated:" In the course of implementing Islamic programs in our country, we have decided to establish an interest and usury-free Islamic bank in our country, and also to replace the English language." Thanking the nation and government of Sudan, the Imam of the ummah stated:]
I hope that the Islamic nations return to Islamic culture and make use of this religion as Islamic culture is progressive. We hope that this movement that has materialized in Iran for serving the people, with God in mind, will become a reality in the Islamic communities. These communities ought to sever the links of the foreigners to their countries, and the Muslims regain their lands, just like the Muslims of early Islam who, with the rich culture they had, prevailed over other countries.
[At the end of this meeting, Imam Khomeini expressed the hope that the Islamic nations eschew discord and become united so that the divine faith of Islam is realized on earth and the downtrodden overcome the arrogant ones.]
