In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. Shaykh Za'id ibn Sultan Al Nihyan, Head of State of the United Arab Emirates,
The receipt of your congratulatory telegram on the occasion of the new Islamic lunar hijri year is acknowledged with gratitude. It is hoped that by getting inspiration from the progressive laws of Islam, in this New Year the Muslim nations could attain their true unity, and cut the evil and curb the influence of the enemies of Islam in their Islamic lands, exploiting their material and spiritual resources. May peace be upon you.
