WELCOME TO THE ABDUR-RAQIB GLOBAL ISLAMIC FOUNDATION (TARGIF)
All praise is to Allah(SWT), we seek his help and his forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah (SWT) from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray, and whosoever Allah (SWT) leads astray, no one can guide. We bear witness that there is no God but Allah (SWT) the One, having no partner. And we hear witness that Muhammad (SAAWS) is His slave and final Messenger.
