It is clear that Muslims who do not uphold and consistently
perform their obligatory Swolah inevitably fall prey into
following Satan’s footsteps, drawn into sins, due to the
temptations and the glitters of the love for the world.
To help any Muslims in whatever problems they face,
reminding them to keep to fulfilling their most important
obligation – Swolah – is crucial.
