Ever since I was born, I have not seen many
people arrived late to the airport whenever the
person is traveling. In fact, when the plane is to
take off at 11:00pm, the person will be at the
airport by 7:00pm. Wow! That's how much people
value traveling overseas.
But on a Friday noon when Jumat service has
long begun, that's when you will see Men and
Women with 'swag' gliding like pregnant serpents
to Jumat.
They know they are late, but because
they have a new Atiku Agbada on, Abaya dress
and the latest michael kors bag, they want
everyone to see it. Jumat starts at 12:00pm or
1:00pm, but people will come by2:30pm.
Why? They think Hutubah and speech delivered by
the Imam is for the uncivilized.
Just try and call them on Monday at 5:30am,
you'll realize they are already on their way to
work and some will be there already.
Know this today, anytime you go to Jumat one
minute late, you have NOT attended Jumat at all.
There is a register of
God, where angels record the name of those who
come on
time, and you'll be surprised that on the day of
judgment they will tell you, you never attended
Jumat. If Allah(SWT) is saying 'where two or
three are gathered, I'm in their midst', you think
He comes late?
The time you give is the time He keeps.
What does it mean to arrive late to JUMAT?
(1) Disrespect to Allah
(2) Betrayal of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
(3) Disregard to the mosque and the Imam
(4) Interruption of the Hutubah.
Now consider all these, and tell me they have not
sinned
Remember, Eternity Flight is not a flight taking
you to overseas, it's a flight taking you to
Heaven. Don't miss it!
If you are among people planning to go to Jumat
late today,think twice!!! Help someone
May Allah count us among the people that will
witness today Jumat in peace and good health. Allahumo Nojini Moha Noojineen, Wala tuhalikini
Moha' li haalikeen (Aameen).
