The revered source of emulation said: “This humble man prays that, God-willing, you can achieve the goals that have noted and I was very pleased with the course of action that you have been undertaken. We must really thank God for the growth of Islamic centres and mosques around the world and in the United States. It is due to the blessings of God.”

By promoting the teachings of the Ahlul-Bayt, especially Imam al-Mahdi, you will be able to explain pure Islam to the people in attendance.”
