In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Ayatullah, Mr.Hajj Sheikh Muhammad Taqi Misbah Yazdi (may his sustenance increase):

Presently, with praise due to God, the Imam Khomeini Education & Research Institute, (may God elevate his rank), in the shadow of your unremitting and successful efforts, has been structured and approved by the High Council of Cultural Revolution.

Your excellency, you are of the blessings that remain from the Islamic Seminaries of Qom, and one of the most qualified, distinguished, famous personalities to endeavor in science and carry out its practices, and I appoint you as the manager and director of this Institute. The foundation of this Institute has been built on the correct understanding of this time and age, and the weighty duties of the holy Islamic Seminaries of Qom.

This work, just as well as continuing the good-will efforts of the people who, from the start of the establishment of the Islamic Seminaries, were in favor of its development and evolution, is the auspicious start of paths that have not yet been paved, and work that has not yet been touched. Due to your being precise and full of knowledge, I know that I have no need to advise you about what should be. I place you and your intelligent colleagues in the continuous grace, guidance, and favor of the Exalted Lord.

It is hopeful that you have been and will be included in the special attention given by the Great Hazrat Wali-ul-lah (The close friend and deputy of God), may my soul be his sacrifice.
