The Third is the Shaytaan


Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whenever a non-mahram
man and woman meet in seclusion, Shaytaan definitely is the third one
joining them.” [Tirmidhi]

What this hadith means is that Shaytaan arouses their passions and
incites them to commit evil. Prevention is better than cure.
Fornication and adultery rip to shreds the psychological health of
society. Since the family is the building block of society, for a
society to be healthy, it must have healthy families that constitute
it. To prevent any situation arising which might harm the family unit,
Islam nips the source of problems in the bud. A person is responsible
not only for himself or herself but for the spiritual, emotional,
psychological and physical well being of their children as much as it
is in their control. From their children will arise many more
generations. Keeping this in mind we have to do our best to provide as
healthy a moral environment as we can so we are not held responsible
for the destruction of future generations.

“If the breakdown of the family and female security is to be averted,
only two strategies are available: firstly, members of society may be
conditioned to believe that sexuality is from the devil, and should
inspire feelings of guilt and distaste; or secondly, sexuality may be
accepted as the loving expression of a natural human need, in which
case the sexes must be separated, within reason, to avoid the risk of
the temptation of weak souls and hence their unchastity.”

“Historically, the first of these two choices has been that of
Christianity, while Islam has opted for the second. The modern Western
attitude, in which there is both an obsession with sexuality and a
casual mingling of men and women, and which has resulted in massive
promiscuity (and hence infidelity, divorce, abortion and disease) does
not represent an ethically coherent system.” [The Seventy-Seven
Branches of Faith, translator’s note, The Quilliam Press]
