THE EFFECT OF DA’AWAH ACTIVITIES AMONG THE MUSLIMS IN DANKO OR WASAGU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA (SLAMIC AND ARABIC PROJECT TOPICS AND MATERIALS)
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
All praise is due to Allah (S.W.T), whom we ask for help and from whom we seek forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils withinourselves and the evils of our actions. He who Allah guides has no one who can lead him astray and He whom He led astray has no one to guide him. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon His noblest servant, His Messengers and prophet (Muhammad) and his companions, his family and those that follow their footsteps until the Day of Judgment.

Allah the Most High stated in the glorious Qur’an
