The action of proscribing gah failed to stop the activism of this group. The supports from all sectors and the freedom of speech are being used to influence the Muslim Ummah. Critical and rational minds are potentially weapons to influence the people by gah. With that, the purpose of the study is to explore the influence of gah thinking on the Muslim Ummah and way to combating it. A total of 800 Malay Muslims living in the Klang Valley were chosen as respondents in the study selected using simple random sampling technique.
