In the name of Allah, the compassionate the merciful.
My most cordial salutations and greetings be upon you, the zealous nation of Egypt. Certainly your country has a great history in science, culture and knowledge as it is called "the cradle of human civilization". Throughout Islamic history this country has been one of the most important Islamic centers, and your brave and enthusiastic uprising against the west-dependant dictatorship, the government of Israeli policies, shows your social, political and religious courage and vision.
Surely the dark period of dictatorship is over and there is no way back for the dictators.
What we have learnt and experienced from our Islamic revolution is that there are two factors for rapid success and overcoming obstacles: first, resistance and maintaining the unity of the rows, and second, to have a unit leadership. Because the enemy mostly attacks on these two factors to save his own benefits, and tries to foment conflicts among the revolutionists. It is proper for you to keep your unity seeking help from your religious and Islamic beliefs. Surely the other sects in Egypt can be unified with you in your j o i nt religious issues, as they j o i ned us in our Islamic revolution, so that many Christians fought beside us eight years in the imposing-war period, and they get martyred beside the Muslim martyrs, and now (in spite of false propagandas of enemies) they live with us in peace and freedom.
We hope the honorable scholars of Al-Azhar, the great center of Islamic science be more adherent and unified with the zealous and revolutionist nation of Egypt, because what they demand today are the principles which are extremely emphasized in Islam; justice, reasonable freedom, eradication of poverty and avoiding foreign interference in Muslim's matters, these are all from the certain principles of Islam and Quran.
It was just an enthusiastic advice from a sympathetic brother who has many passions for your victory.
We ask God, the exalted, for your rapid success and victory and we hope you dear Egyptian nation to be helped by Allah's divine help,
"وَمَا النَّصْرُ إِلاَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ الْعَزِیزِ الْحَکِیمِ "help comes only from God the All-mighty, the All-wise;
