In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Haj Shaykh `Ali Mishkini- may his graces last,
After greetings and wish for your success; I acknowledge the receipt of your letter regarding elections theological seminary of Qum. I thank you and other workers. On my behalf convey to my revolutionary children that extremism does not end well. If they would not get the attention of the gentlemen in the honorable society, they would share the fate of those who are propagators of the American Islam.
Again, I would like to say that if the revolutionary students of theology and teachers supporting the revolution would not cooperate with each other, both of them would suffer. All efforts should be undertaken to reach this vital point. The gentlemen vividly observed what blow the enemy rendered to Islam and the clergy due to their weak points. The faithful should not repeat the same mistake. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
