In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Ma'moun `Abdul-Qayyoum, President of Republic of Maldives,
I acknowledge the receipt of your telegraph congratulating on the occasion of the arrival of 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 and beseech God Almighty to grant happiness and dignity to Islam and Muslims and unity and solidarity in confronting global blasphemy and imperialism. May God's peace and blessing be upon you!
