He ended his letter with (the usual) compliments. (The following reply was received):— “My dear son Imáduddín Muhammad Kásim. I have acquainted myself with the contents of your letter. What you have done is radically thoroughgoing. it is wholly in harmony with the commandment of God and the grace of the Merciful, being for you, in this enterprise and (specially) in all your difficulties, to carefully offer your prayers at the 5 stated times, to the august court of God, the great and the glorious, and every time you praise God’s greatness (at the commencement of your orisons) or read passages from the Koran during them, and in every posture, whether standing or bending or touching the ground with your forehead or sitting, you must ask His help with humility and contrition. Keep your tongue regularly trained in the remembrance of God, that your affairs may be settled satisfactorily. Because without the divine kindness no person can possibly secure power and glory, and when you repose trust and confidence in the grace and goodness of the Great One, your hopes will be fulfilled and success and victory will come to you and help you. May the Great God’s will be done. In the writing of Humran.” - [Previous: 35.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.3.2) - [Next: 35.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.3.4) - [Up: 35.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.3.3) · Pramāṇa
