In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Your Excellency Ma'moun `Abdul-Qayyoum, President of the Maldives,
I acknowledge the receipt of your telegraph on the occasion of the arrival of the auspicious Feast of Sacrifice with pleasure. Reciprocally, I congratulate this great Islamic feast to you and the Muslim people of your country and implore God almighty to grant prosperity and dignity to Islamic nations and destruction to the enemies of Islam. May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
