His Excellency Field Marshal Mohammed Ayub Khan, President of Pakistan

     It was encouraging to note that Al-Jamea-Tus-Saifiyah, the centuries old religious institution, is being transferred into a creative centre which will provide the study not only of the Arabic language but of the modern sciences as well.  The need of the hour for us Muslims is to study and interpret Islam that would satisfy and serve the present-day requirements.

     I am confident that under your guidance the Academy will go from strength to strength.
