In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. Rashid Bin Sa`id Al-e Maktoum, Prime Minister and Deputy Head of State of the United Arab Emirates),
I acknowledge the receipt of your telegram congratulations on the occasion of the arrival of the auspicious feast of Fitr with appreciation. Reciprocally, I congratulate you and the brotherly and Muslim people of your country on this great feast. It is hoped that at this sensitive and historical juncture when Islamic countries are directly or indirectly subjected to the attacks of the enemies of Islam, particularly the global Zionism, you would reject the agents responsible for discord and notorious puppets such as the criminal Saddam. I hope that through Islamic unity and solidarity, you will resist this dangerous attack, responding to the outcry of the homeless and aggrieved Muslims in every corner in the world, particularly the war-raged Muslims of Lebanon, and no longer watch these savage crimes by the enemies of Islam. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you!
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
