HADITH, SAYINGS/TRADITIONS OF MUHAMMAD SAW
Sayyadina Anas (RA) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Allah, the Glorious and Exalted said: `When I afflict my slave in his two dear things (i.e., his eyes), and he endures patiently, I shall compensate him for them with Jannah.". [Al-Bukhari].

Commentary: Blindness is the greatest deprivation in the world and Allah grants its reward according to His Pleasure. For this reason patience in this case is highly meritorious. Its reward is Jannah provided the blind is enormously rich in Faith.

THE MESSAGE
TO CONVEY OR NOT TO CONVEY
-------------------------------
Conveying the message to others is not for others alone as many of us think. It is a part of our own intuition just like the blood in our body which does not only need to keep flowing to supply nourishment and oxygen to every tissue but also to keep itself healthy. If its flow is hampered, its chemicals will react bizarre and it will neither be a source of life for the body any longer nor will it be able to keep itself a fluid of balanced contents to keep itself furnished with the virtues of clotting, bleeding and nourishing.

A Daai (preacher) may be taken as some obsessed creature in pursuance of his mission but, as one can see, he is also providing life to those he gets acquainted with. Nevertheless, not everybody values what a caller to the truth has to offer. Only the ones who recognize the message he is trying to forward would pay heed.

The other day walking down the street and looking through windows into shops, I saw a lady in a jeweller's shop sitting in front of dazzling trinkets shining through a glass case; but, much to my amazement, she was really not looking at the jewels but the shoes another lady next to her was wearing. What would you call such a person! She does not know what she is ignoring. Probably she doesn't realize that they are real jewels or else she is preoccupied with things of least importance sitting in the middle of precious pearls.

As for me, I thought that we have been doing this all our lives; we pick stones and ignore pearls and diamonds — which are scattered around us in the teachings and the words of wisdom propagated by men of understanding.

On the other hand, a compelling reality that needs to be kept in sight of the Duat (preachers) is that if people believe that their caller is telling them something which would benefit them, they would respect him, be appreciative and grateful to him, and would also enquire further.

Accepting this life as a test and preparing for the next one would mean sacrificing so many interests in life, so much which we yearn not to let go of. It is certainly a thorny project to work on and is really a tricky path to tread. However, triumphant is the one who decides and treads this path with utmost sincerity and devotion. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Dr Henna Khan)

RECIPE
All Bran Rusks
Ingredients
2 ½ cups all bran flakes - 1 cup sour milk - ¾ cup sugar – brown or white - 1 tsp baking powder - 500g self raising flour - 250gr butter - 1 egg beaten - 1 tsp salt.

Method
On low heat melt butter and sugar. Beat eggs and sour milk adding sugar. Add to dry ingredients. Pat in oven tray and slice. Bake at 180c for 35 mins. Remove from oven and slice into bars. Return to oven and bake at 100c to dry out.

COOKING TIP
Browning - Sticking to pan
If you are browning meat (or anything else in oil) and it sticks to the pan when you try to turn it. Take the pan off the burner and allow it to sit for a minute or two. The moisture in the food will loosen it from the pan and you can then turn it easily. Unless it is burnt to a crisp, this will work every time.

A THOUGHT
The great quantity of water in the seas makes our earth habitable. If the proportion of sea to land on the earth were smaller, then lands would turn into deserts and life would be impossible. A diligent person who thinks about these matters is completely convinced that the establishment of such a perfect balance on the earth is surely not a coincidence. Seeing and thinking about all these shows that a Creator Who is exalted and the owner of eternal power has created everything for a purpose.

THE SMILE
A couple of hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. I can help.

First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, and then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"
