Letter [to Sayyid `Abdul-Karim Mousawi Ardebili]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Sayyid `Abdul-Karim Mousawi Ardebili, Chief of the Judiciary,
With greetings and prayer for you and all officials in the Judiciary and wishing success for all: It is heard that the fatherly advises of your old spiritual father have offended some judicial officials of the country. «1» Those who are not familiar with the culture of theology seminary have thought that the bitterness and sweetness of such discussions and notifications have lessened my interest in you, dear ones in the Supreme Judicial Council and officials of the Judiciary. It is not the case. I know you as righteous and religious person and as good friend of mine and the revolution. I want you and the other members of the Supreme Judicial Council, whom I love, to attend judicial affairs, better and more carefully and seriously to eliminate the deficiencies and deviations. Our Islamic Revolution is your own revolution. Like you, I am also in the service of the revolution. In the Islamic Revolution, all should open the way for the prosperity of the society by criticism. May God give reward and recompense to you, Hujjat al-Islams Messrs. Prosecutor General Mousawi Khou'iniha, members of the Supreme Judicial Council, Muqtada'i and Bujnourdi as well as Mr. Mar`ashi, who, with my consent, has decided to serve elsewhere with my consent; and for the entire (judicial) workforce to eliminate as soon as possible the numerous problems of the Judiciary. May God's peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
