My Dear, Blessed Brothers!

Very many greetings… In former times in my native region, we used to recite Sura al‑Ikhlas a thousand times on the Day of ‘Arafa. Now, I am able to recite five hundred on the day before, and five hundred on the Day of ‘Arafa. Those who are confident may recite them all at once. I cannot see you and cannot speak with you all personally, but most of the time I can converse with you all while praying, sometimes by name.
