Kindly note: The correct name of the Sura not nasrullah But Sura ” AN-Nasr”

Good updated information.

With the falling Crude Oil Price and development of alternative fuel, Saudis ( Wahhabis) opened a new corridor of business. Called Umrah. Pay here and get the return in hereafter. Perform Umrah and clean yourself like a new born. Enjoy the life in Jannat. Howevere Saudis don’t believe in it. With your money they will either kill innocent Muslims from Yemen to Iraq and Syria or go to Europe to enjoy.
Saudis have got a business model like Amway ( Multi level marketing). Deobandi / Wahabi mullah agents are sitting there in every corner to sell Umrah and Thewab.
