reminds us of noble purpose of creation of mankind by Allah."

human beings, regardless of tribes, religious and political affiliations were
created with the noble purpose to worship Allah alone and develop this earth as
a way of worshipping him alone," explained Malausog.
"VTT
is also a very effective approach to transform our values which serves as guidelines
in developing our personality in the most upright way," Malausog
clarified.
"Because,
this training serves as strong shield to protect ourselves from the temptation
of the contemporary secularized modernization that hinders, if not destroys,
our connection to Allah," emphasized Malausog.

with VTT, our focus and efforts to serve the purposes of creation by Allah is
refreshed and preserved," added Malausog.

change bad habits and replace them with good values and continuously
improve themselves," emphasized Abubakar.
