Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, his companions, and those who follow him. To proceed:

To the Islamic Ummah, which Allah has honored, saying:

كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ

"You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah." (QS. Ali 'Imran [3]: 110)...

To the pure and pious dawah carriers—and we do not sanctify anyone before Allah—who speak the best of words and perform righteous deeds, for Allah has praised those with these attributes:

وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِمَّنْ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِين

"And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, 'Indeed, I am of the Muslims'?" (QS. Fussilat [41]: 33)...

To the esteemed visitors of the page who approach it with truth and sincerity, seeking the goodness it carries, may Allah reward them with goodness...

To all of these, I congratulate them on Eid al-Fitr, and I ask Allah (swt) to accept their fasting and make them among those emancipated during the holy month. I also ask Him (swt) that this Eid be a gateway of goodness and blessing for the Muslims, so that the next Eid comes while we are shaded by the banner of the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate), the banner of La Ilaha Illa Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah. And that is not difficult for Allah...

In conclusion, I convey my greetings of peace to you and pray for your well-being. May Allah accept your acts of worship, protect you from all evil, and guard you from all harm.

فَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظًا وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

"But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful." (QS. Yusuf [12]: 64)
