In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His eminence, the highest of the scholars Haj Sayyid `Ali Khamene'i, may his graces last long,
Since the presence of his Eminence Mr. Muntaziri in the holy Theological School of Qum was necessary, and he too has announced his abstinence from leading the Friday prayers in Tehran, you are being appointed to the said office. By the grace of God, you have a good record in the past and in learning and in acting there upon is also know your competence. I pray to God for success to you in preaching and guiding the people.
May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
