In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. `Abdul-Qayyoum President of the Republic of Maldives,
I acknowledge the receipt of your telegraph congratulating the arrival of the New Year of the lunar hejira calendar and extend my appreciation. I beseech God Almighty in the New Year to grant liberation to Muslims of the world from the evil domination of enemies of Islam, helping them regain their lost glory. May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
