In the Name of God the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Praise is to God, prayer and peace be upon the master of messengers, his family and his companions.

To our Miamian children in the United States of America,

I am sending to you from your home country Lebanon in my name serving the sheikhdom and the confessional council of Druze Unitarian Confession my best regards wishing you and your families, health, wellness and success, hoping that you will have a successful meeting and to see you soon safe and sound.

Dear Sons,

My first advice to you is to be loyal to the land on which you live and of which you enjoy the wealth that God granted it, as you are faithful to your family and your home country. We will work with the help of the Almighty God through the Emigrant Commission and Sheikhdom commissioners on communicating with you and with all our emigrant sons to maintain the Unitarian spiritual customs and traditions that require concerted efforts between resident and emigrant.

          Know my dears that Almighty God has shown us the path of truth and illumated its ways, whoever is occupied with other than himself he will be confused; things allowed to us are more than prohibitions and He is the one who takes care of possessions. So proceed to work, fear the sudden death, do not take ideas from here and there and do not innovate.

Time is passing over us and over our children as it passed over our ancestors. We do not expect from recuperating life what we expect from recuperating properties.

Man must know that: “Whoso doeth good an atom’s weight will see it then and whoso doeth ill an atom’s weight will see it then”.

In addition, who acts without any wisdom is as who goes astray, every work gives fruits, and water is indispensable to each fruit. What is well irrigated gives good fruits.

The sources of truth and virtue exist, Thank God, in your origins so don’t keep them for you because people are made of different colours and contrasting opposites. Nevertheless who asks for truth and misses it is not as who asks for lie and reaches it. 

Brothers,

The new generation of young men, women and children is growing up with the internet network without an accurate orientation, but virtues are virtues, ethics are ethics and nationalism is nationalism in each country and at all times and places. As well early start, grow smart so pay attention to your children education.

I will not dwell on talking, may God bless you, give you wisdom and overwhelm you with his care.

He has power over all things, he is the hearer and responsive, hoping to meet, good-bye.
