message on this earth.

19. Let's evaluate our selves
Am I sure?
Yes No mostly to some
extent
I believe that the Qur'an is a means of saving from
hardships rather than creating hardships.
I am sure that dua for opening the heart is for Daee’s
own heart.
I try to make dua and involve my family in my dawah
activities.
I believe that only Allah can remove fear from human
beings.
I make a conscious effort not to envy illicit living
I am sure turning away from Allah’s remembrance make
life constrict.
