Lau also assured the community that, if guided by Allah, they are prepared to enter the forests where some Fulani communities reside to spread their message.

He stated, "Every member of JIBWIS must become a preacher, and we are ready to venture into the forests to convey Allah's message. As the Prophet (S) said, if they accept our guidance, well and good; if not, we follow God's command."
