My Dear, Loyal Brothers!

Sweden, Norway, and Finland in the north have accepted the Qur'an as the greatest saviour and are teaching it in their schools, and now with the intention of keeping the Ramadan fast, the foremost pillar of Islam, they are asking al‑Azhar University whether there is a way of shortening or postponing the fast during those extremely lengthy northern days. Indeed, this does not concern only those small states: it may be surmised that the former Great Powers, on seeing that their former superior positions have been nullified by the awesome blows dealt by the world's transience, and in order to maintain those positions, will find true consolation only in the truths of the Qur'an, thus becoming equal with those small states — although they would not want to publicize this or make it government policy.

For sure, once the true nature of this world is understood, only everlasting life and the Qur'an can heal the wounds of humanity caused by the collapse of their dreams.
