My distinguished colleagues, faculty members at the college, My dear the professional staff at the college, and My beloved students,
May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you, as we stand on the threshold of the new academic year and welcome a new year of our scientific and educational journey, in which we ask God Almighty to make it an academic year full of giving and excellence. On this occasion, I congratulate you on your new academic year and call upon you all to cooperate and unite for our lofty goal, which is the progress and prosperity of nations, which is the knowledge with which God Almighty has honored the children of Adam and made it a means of advancement and progress.
I call upon you, my dear ones, to be keen and dedicated to working to please God Almighty, who said in His Glorious Book: In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, "Say, “Act. Allah will see your actions, as will His Messenger and the believers. Then you will be returned to the Knower of secrets and declarations, and He will inform you of what you used to do." God Almighty is Truth(Surah At-Tawbah: 105).
I pray to God Almighty to grant me. May God grant our great country Iraq security and safety, protect it and its people from enemies and calamities, and grant you health and wellness, my dear ones. Our final supplication is that all praise is due to God, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the Master of Messengers.
