Thanks Bilal. I say we tackle Shaytaan head-on. Who is he/she? And does it mess with minors? What is Shaytaan's age limit for engagement? Haruna. Where is Mariama and my useful Hadith. I don't want you creating decoys around my friggin questions. You're pissin me off Bilal. Haruna. -----Original Message----- From: Edi Jah <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Fri, Jun 26, 2009 8:56 am Subject: Fwd: Daily Hadith: The Third is the Shaytaan The Third is the Shaytaan asul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whenever a non-mahram an and woman meet in seclusion, Shaytaan definitely is the third one oining them.” [Tirmidhi] What this hadith means is that Shaytaan arouses their passions and ncites them to commit evil. Prevention is better than cure. ornication and adultery rip to shreds the psychological health of ociety. Since the family is the building block of society, for a ociety to be healthy, it must have healthy families that constitute t. To prevent any situation arising which might harm the family unit, slam nips the source of problems in the bud. A person is responsible ot only for himself or herself but for the spiritual, emotional, sychological and physical well being of their children as much as it s in their control. From their children will arise many more enerations. Keeping this in mind we have to do our best to provide as ealthy a moral environment as we can so we are not held responsible or the destruction of future generations. “If t he breakdown of the family and female security is to be averted, nly two strategies are available: firstly, members of society may be onditioned to believe that sexuality is from the devil, and should nspire feelings of guilt and distaste; or secondly, sexuality may be ccepted as the loving expression of a natural human need, in which ase the sexes must be separated, within reason, to avoid the risk of he temptation of weak souls and hence their unchastity.” “Historically, the first of these two choices has been that of hristianity, while Islam has opted for the second. The modern Western ttitude, in which there is both an obsession with sexuality and a asual mingling of men and women, and which has resulted in massive romiscuity (and hence infidelity, divorce, abortion and disease) does ot represent an ethically coherent system.” [The Seventy-Seven ranches of Faith, translator’s note, The Quilliam Press] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ o unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web nterface t: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l o contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤=C 2¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask]
