In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful
The incident of the devastating flood that has hit the provinces of Golestan and Mazandaran— causing significant damages to houses and farms, and inflicting difficulties upon several towns and villages, in particular, Aq-qola— made me deeply sorrowful and grieved.
People’s donations and engagement of public sectors in relief operations are important tasks that can help soothe a small portion of people’s pains.
The dear people of Khuzestan, too, are still dealing with the aftermath of a flood that hit the province a while ago. We all have a responsibility to rush to help the flood-stricken people in any province across the country.
May Allah grant patience to our people particularly those exposed to such difficult tests and experiences and may He compensate for the calamities by His grace.
