The World Federation has discussed a number of Tableegh initiatives in Poland with the Islamic Unity Society, including publications and events.
Sayyid Aliraza Naqvi said, ‘Alhamdillilah, the visit to Poland was an eye-opener for me personally and a reminder of our duty to spread the message of the Ahlul Bayt (as). The polish people were very receptive of the message of the Ahlul Bayt (as) and I am confident we can provide a lot of support to Tableegh efforts, inshallah.
