Increase alms; 4). Maintain body immunity. Second, by approaching it through appropriate persuasive communication so that it can influence people to change their behavior in a positive direction.

Calling to increase patience is conveyed in every lecture and Friday sermon; 2). Prayer; 3). Zakat; and 4). Sacrifice Worship.
