Human Beings are blessed with 5 basic senses. They are - Sight , Hearing, Smell, Touch and Taste. It is through these senses that we make sense of the world around us. Sometimes it is difficult but we adapt using our intelligence. We call people who dont have any one of these senses as handicaps. Ironically, the truth is that we are ALL handicapped. Are these FIVE senses enough to understand this world!
Ofcourse not. The Sight that we have cant perceive dimensions other than 3D and cant see long distances. Compare our-self with a Dog, and we will realize instantly that we are handicapped. We cant see as it sees. We cant hear as it hears and We cant smell as it smells. Yet we unconditionally call others who lack these senses as handicapped when we are all handicapped!
But why these 5 senses. because we have something call a BRAIN. Brain is so fantastic that you take away any one sense and it will use the other senses to compensate for it. Its a mercy from your God. If we dont have a screw driver to remove a screw, we can use a knife for it. Its going to be difficult and might not be efficient, but it will work. That is how the world works. Masha Allah.
A lot of times we use our sixth sense of feeling. We get a feeling that he is not a good person or something is not right. I usually get this feeling to put of things till tomorrow and finally it never gets done. Its an internal voice that tells us opinions or suggestions and we tend to trust that more than the other senses. Its what we might call our heart. Poems have been written about it , essays are required to explain it, what is it exactly!
Here is what Allah says about it in Surah Al Sad - http://quran.com/38/24
[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah ." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.
Allah advises David ( Prophet Daud ), to not follow his own desire or what he feels in the heart but do what is Right.
Its the 5 senses that we must use and must rely on. The 6th sense of feeling, though good and mysterious and fantastic, should not be relied on. That could be because it could be influenced by external forces that we are not aware of ( allahu aalam - God knows Best ).
So lets try to get back to our senses and use them Best. As the internet age progresses, we tend to sit in front of our computer a lot . This again, decays our other senses and sharpens our 6th sense of feeling. We are no more present in this world. We live in a virtual world. We are following our heart. We follow our desires!
Oh Lord, save us from following our own heart and include us among those who understand the truth.
