Founded in 1968 by Ashaari Muhammad, Al-Arqam began as a fringe Islamic group that attracted followers through its charismatic leadership and promise of a return to a purer form of Islam This claim, alongside his assertion of receiving divine guidance, placed Al-Arqam in conflict with true Islamic teachings, which reject any claims of prophecy after the time of Prophet Muhammad .
The Malaysian government, led by then-prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, began to take notice of Al-Arqam's growing influence and unorthodox practices Many key figures within GISB Holdings are originally from Al-Arqam and hold leadership roles. This includes Ashaari's widow, Hatijah Aam, who has publicly claimed that her late husband continues to guide her from the afterlife. This notion of ongoing spiritual communication, similar to Ashaari's original claims, reignited concerns about the group's influence.
