In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Khou'i, may your blessing last long,
With great regret and sorrow, I express my condolences to you and the esteemed family on the disaster and implore God Almighty to grant peace to that respected diceased and patience and spiritual reward to you and the family. I earnestly implore God to punish the enemies of Islam and sacred theological seminaries disgrace them in the world and the hereafter, restore the majesty of holy seminaries of Najaf and other sacred schools by destroying the Iraqi Ba`ath `Aflaq Party and rescue the prominent `ulama' and noble people of Iraq from the clutches of Saddam and his supporters.
I request you and other `ulama' and other learned men of Najaf and respected residents of Iraq to pray for victory of the army of Islam over the deceived army of Aflaqi disbelievers under the luminous canopy of the Immaculate Imams (peace be upon them), particularly the master of the Imams (Peace be upon him). May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
