Declaration – 13 Safar 1430 (2009-02-09)

Reminders from Hazrat Haj Dr. Nour Ali Tabandeh, Majzoub Ali Shah
Regarding the Holding of Fuqara Gatherings and How to Manage Changes

---

With greetings and peace,

Be mindful that even if you are far from home and the center of attention of your brothers, still—as expressed in the saying “Even if you are in Yemen but with me, you are near me…”—the eyes and ears of all of us are always with you. And since the enemies of “‘irfan” (Mysticism) are many, and Satan’s schemes are ever watchful, any action—even with good intentions—if it resembles deceit, is upon all of us to neutralize. Monday and Friday nights are specifically designated for “fuqara” gatherings. During these times, do not hold friendly private meetings. The “fuqara” gatherings must also take place exactly where they have been designated. Even the esteemed Mashayekh—except for the honorable brother Mr. Haeri—do not have the right to change the location. Any changes must be clarified with either myself or Mr. Haeri. If you have any questions or matters, the honorable brother Dr. Azmayesh will guide you. This letter will be conveyed to you through him. Avoid any form of division: وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ .
