Jihad is fast approaching every corner of the world. We have to reinforce our inner strength with the help of ALLAH s.w.t. by
dzikr in abundance to always remember ALLAH s.w.t to seek protection, sincere in our action, solat , read Al-Quran, tabligh and jihad. These are the guiding principle of tabligh as practiced by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h)
