O believers, this is a Khutba on the divine anger about rebellious people, who don't want to know Allah. Punishment will come on them- Allah is not going to let them get away, even He delays, until it cannot get any worse. The Prophet sws was informing about this: 'Allah is giving chance to the people, but they cannot escape.' Our people have gone too far. They don't know about Jumma or Ramadan, Allah and his Prophet, Fard, Wajib, Haram or Halal anymore. Therefore soon the Bela is coming on them-at that time, don't shout! If a flood comes on this island, in a few minutes it will be taken away...Why are they against Islam? When the time comes, there will be no safety for dhalim people...Today is a blessed day- Jumma. Alhamdulillah we have peace here- no British or Greek people, we can celebrate Cuma. But they want to celebrate New Year- it is not for Muslims, but they take it as an opportunity to amuse themselves. And they will be punished. Christmas and New Year is from their religion, not for Muslims. And their priests are still wearing religious clothes- what about our Hojas? Where are our Islamic dresses? There is discipline in religion, there are rules. Our people want to be like them, they celebrate Christmas and New Year. Why you don't make your children used to going to the mosque for Juma prayer? Don't make them get used to praying? Everyone will be given his book either in his right or his left hand on the Day of Judgment- that is Haqq (The Reality / The Truth). The Day of Judgment also is Haqq. It is written in all holy books. They will ask you about your children, if you were obeying Allah's orders and taught them their religion. If not, your place is Hell. No more time for sleeping- you must wake up! Who is not praying from among the Muslims, will be sorted out. You will die and no one will intercede for you...Religion is not a joke. People are not thankful to Allah for His favours. Now the walls of their buildings are falling down- don't stand under them! Don't be cheated- things are going to happen soon. Be good- that means: be a good servant of Allah. Ask yourself, judge yourself by your conscience. You are not making sajda (prostration), you are not thankful to Allah- turn back and ask for forgiveness! Nobody knows when his time has come. The souls of many will be refused entrance at the door of Heavens, they will not be accepted in the Divine Presence... Prepare yourself.
