In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Ayatollah Hajj Sayyid Ali Sistani,
The news of your illness caused great concern for us. I pray to Almighty Allah for the restoration of your health and your immediate recovery.
For the past many years, you have always been a strong spiritual and moral support for the oppressed Iraqi nation, and praying for your health is praying for the well-being of the Iraqi nation.
I also pray to the Almighty for an end to the presence of aliens and occupiers in Iraq and other parts of the Islamic world.
Sayyid Ali Khamenei
