In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dhoul-Hijjah al-Harram 15,1402 AH
Your Excellency General Suharto, the President of the Republic of Indonesia,
I received with thanks the telegraph of Your Excellency on the auspicious occasion of `Id ad-Duha. Reciprocally, I congratulate Your Excellency and the Muslim nation of your state on this great Islamic feast. Unfortunately, the arrival of this `Id ad-Duha has taken place whilst, every day the Muslims are witness to fresh sorrows and horrific crimes being committed by the enemies of Islam. The most horrendous of crimes being committed are the brutal massacre and genocide of the defenseless Muslims of Lebanon; the dishonoring of the girls and women; the horrific killings of children and even of ailing and hospitalized Muslim refugees. These are examples of the some of their sufferings and sorrows. More unfortunate is that many of the heads of Muslim countries, instead of countering these savage actions and preventing these merciless killings, are granting formal recognition to the perpetrators of these crimes- usurper Israel. They instead of restricting are consolidating and expanding their ties day by day with world-devouring America, which is the master mind of these offenses and the world wide criminal. This is the heartrending position of the Muslims and many of their leaders." Verily, to God do we belong and unto Him is our return."
