Letter to Sons 'Uthman, Muhammad, Hamzah, Wife Um Hamzah

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

And praise God, the Lord of the universe, peace and prayers be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his companions…

Furthermore,

To my dear sons 'Uthman, Muhammad, Hamzah, my wife Um Hamzah, and my grandchildren

Peace, mercy of God and His blessing be upon you

I hope this letter finds you, your families and your offspring well, in good health, more devout to Almighty God and closer to Him.

We are longing to meet with you and hear your news, and praise God for your safe release (nfi). We have received good news concerning you and your children, may God take care of them and may Islam and the Muslims benefit from them. And about your pursuit for knowledge, I ask God almighty to bless your effort. We are getting ready in upcoming days to receive Um Hamzah over here, with God's permission. However, concerning 'Uthman, Muhammad, Hamzah and their families, unfortunately our security circumstances do not allow to meet up in one place at this particular stage. However, we will arrange a secure location for you to stay, with God's permission, and that would take us sometime to arrange. Therefore, we hope that you have arrived at a secure place. We are doing well, with God's grace, and waiting to hear from you so we could confer on what we should be doing in the next stage. Also, reassure us (TN: keep us posted) concerning Fatimah and her daughter, news regarding Asma' and Hamid after they departed, and news about Wafa' and her sons. We will try hard to send your brother Khalid to reach you, to see how you are doing and to consult with you.

Note: Before Um Hamzah arrives here, it is necessary for her to leave everything behind, including clothes, books, everything that she had in Iran… Everything that a needle might possibly penetrate. Some chips have been lately developed for eavesdropping, so small they could easily be hidden inside a syringe. Since the Iranians are not to be trusted, it is possible to implant a chip in some of the belongings that you might have brought along with you…

Note: What you need regarding financial expenses, it could be arranged with Shaykh Mahmud or brother 'Abdallah al-Halabi, whereas Shaykh Mahmud has authorization to spend on what you need from my own personal account.

Your brothers, Um Khalid, and Um Safiyah send their regards to you all.

Peace, mercy of God and His blessing be upon you, Abu 'Abdallah
