In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. Shaykh Za'id Bin Sultan Al-e Nahyan, Head of State of the United Arab Emirates,
The receipt of your congratulatory telegram on the eve of the holy month of Ramadan is acknowledged with gratitude. Reciprocally, I extended my congratulations to Your Excellency and to the Muslim nation of your country for the arrival of this holy month. It is hoped that by taking inspiration from the commandments of the Holy Qur'an, which was revealed in this month, the Muslims could regain their lost glory and overpower the conspirators and enemies of Islam. May peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
