In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise is due to God, the Creator of the Universe; salutations and peace is due to Muhammad and his immaculate household; damnation of God is due for all his enemies.

While attending to the religious affairs and meeting the religious needs of the people of that city, he should also attend to the affairs of the theological school and the seminary students of Ahwaz and endeavor and take action to solve their problems.
