In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds; may God's peace and salutation be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and His curse be upon all their enemies.
Next, His Eminence Thiqqat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Abu'l-Qasim Muqaddas who has spent a period of his noble life in studying religious sciences is herewith permitted on my behalf to supervise the religious tax affairs and to accept religious sums and spend them according to his own judgment in an economic manner. He is authorized to spend one-third of the surplus of the blessed portions in determined instances and to send the other two-thirds to me for expenditure in connection with the lofty ideals of pure Islam.
" And I admonish him, may God Almighty assist him, as we have been admonished by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious." May God's peace and mercy be upon him and our faithful brethren.
