A Letter from the FSF Board President Whitney Scott

Ms. Noor Amina Peterson

Chair, Inayatiyya Board

Dear Noor Amina:

As I am about to travel to the Abode for the Universal Worship Service celebrating Pir Vilayat’s 106 birthday, it seems a fitting time to present requests to the Board for consideration. I plan to share a copy of this letter with those who attend the Service.

First: A new charitable organization whose purposes are similar to those of the Abode of the Messeage, Inc. has been incorporated in New York State and I am a member of that organization. It was formed in hopes that the Abode can be maintained and improved as a place for spiritual seekers who will benefit from the Message. This corporation would like to be substituted for the Inayatiyya Order as the sole member of the Abode of the Message, Inc. so that the Inayatiyya Order can devote its energy and resources to its mission without any further responsibility for the Abode of The Message, Inc. and without any financial liability as well. If this request is granted, no sale of the Abode of the Message, Inc. would be required. It is anticipated that fund raising and programs will sustain the operation as they have in the past.

Second: If the Order decides that it does not want to transfer its sole membership in the Abode of the Message, Inc. and decides to continue the sale of the property of the Abode of the Message, Inc., I request the following:

1. That those portions of the “mountain” devoted to the Sanctuary, Pir Vilayat’s POD location, and the camp facilities be protected through a conservation easement so that, in perpetuity, no development adversely affect them in any manner;

3. That funds from any sale of the property be placed in escrow to provide for construction of the House of Worship and attendant facilities referred to in B. and to endow that House of Worship for the forseeable future.

Thank you again for your continuing efforts to serve the Message. In Service,

Akbar
