In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful. All the praise and thanks is for Allah, the Lord of mankind, jinn and everything that exists, and may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon the most honorable of all the Messengers, Mohamed. To our beloved Sheikh and able emir Abu Musab Abdul Wadud, may Allah keep him safe. May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you. I pray to Allah that my letter will find you in the best of spirits, moving from one victory to the next. We have received the glad tidings of your victories in the Islamic Maghreb which came to us here in the East like a gentle breeze, reminding us of the victories of our forbearers, and it made us, along with other Muslims, very happy. We pray to Allah that you continue to be victorious.
