In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Shaykh Rashid Bin Sa`id Al-e Maktoum, Vice-President of the government of the United `Arab Emirates,
I acknowledge the receipt of your telegraph congratulating on the occasion of the arrival of the auspicious feast of Qurban and extend my appreciation. Reciprocally, I congratulate you and the Muslim and brother people of your country on the great Islamic feast. I beseech God Almighty to grant happiness and dignity to Muslim nations and unity and solidarity to them to confront imperialism and global blasphemy. May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
