In His Most Exalted Name
Honorable Citizens of Eqlid (May God assist them),
Following your request of dispatching scholars to examine the regional problems, Thiqat al-Islam wa'l-Muslimin Safdari and the Thiqat al-Islam wa'l-Muslimin Shaykh `Ali-Akbar Ashtiyani are going to visit the region to inspect the conditions at close range and take an action to remove socio-religious problems of the region. I hope the honorable citizens take the chance to cooperate with the noble scholars while trying for reform of things, tranquility in the region and unity of expression. I implore God Almighty to grant success to all. May peace and Mercy of God be upon you!
