RECEIVING RAMADAAN – Rescuers from Trials
by Sh Abdul Baarie Ath Thubaitie
IMAAM of MADINA MUNAWWARAH
----------------------------------
All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of all the worlds. May peace and blessings of Allaah be upon the Messenger, his household and companions.

Brothers in faith! The Messenger of Allaah has informed us that among the signs of The Hour is the appearance of trials and they shall continue to appear until The Hour comes.

Among the companions of the Prophet, there was a particular companion who was much concerned about the Hadeeth that have to do with trials. That companion was Huthaifah Ibn Al-Yamaan. He used to say, ‘The companions of the Prophet used to ask him about good things, but I used to ask him about evil matters out of fear of being afflicted by them.’

Fellow Muslims! In these days we are afflicted by different kinds of trials and tribulations that subject people’s thoughts and conduct to changes; trials that come one after the other; waves of trials in these days do not only overwhelm people, but overwhelm them along with their thoughts and beliefs. And the waves of beliefs and realities are probably the essence of trials of this age and many are the victims of these trials.

Allaah threatens Muslims with trials if they turn away from the religion of their Lord and His laws when He says, “And let those who oppose the Messenger’s (Muhammad’s) commandments beware lest some trials befall them or a painful torment be inflicted upon them.” (An-Noor: 63).

The trial in this verse includes all kinds of punishments like killing, disasters, imposing of a tyrant ruler and disease. It is a general trial that when it occurs leaves none behind. Allaah says, “And fear the trial which affect not in particular (only) those of you who do wrong, (but it may afflict all the good and bad people).” (Al-Anfaal: 25). read more

Method
Sift flour and salt together; make a well in the middle of the flour. Whisk together milk, eggs and water, pour in to the centre of the flour and mix with electric beater until thick and creamy batter. Leave the mixture in the fridge for 1 hour. Batter should be pliable. Heat pan thoroughly and add a teaspoon of oil mixture and then swirl this in the pan. Add pancake mixture and fry for ½ minutes on one side until lightly golden. Turn and brown the other side. Remove to a plate. Repeat this process until all the batter has been used up.

SIXTH SENSE
-------------
The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: Three things of your world is dear to me sweet scent, wife, and prayer which has been made doll to my eyes. It appears from the above Hadeeth that prayer is not within the five senses but it is included within the sixth sense of the soul.

He who has no heart cannot grasp it. Man and beast are equal in the happiness of the five senses. If love of Allah is considered as appertaining to those five senses, then it is impossible to love Him.

The sixth sense is intellect, light, heart, mind or soul. The inner eye is more powerful than the external eye and the mind's eye is more powerful than the external eye. The beauty which can be perceived through intellect is more than that of eyesight. As the beauties of the world appear pleasing to the external eye, the sight of the existence of Allah and the beauties of His creation are thousand and thousand times more pleasing to him. So love of Allah cannot be denied,. but he who has not crossed the limit of a beast can not perceive it.
