Wedding feist plus shaash saar in the same evening. Reason being, my inlaws came all the way from Holland, and they wanted to be part of the shaash saar as well, so did everything in one day. I quite enjoyed it, loved it I have been to one-shaash saar party about a year ago. It was fun watching the ladies line up and put the shaash on the bride. Glad you enjoyed yours. Stay blessed.

Many Somali families choose to raise their kids in high crime areas to save money, while driving the lastest cars or owning homes in Canada or overseas...Noone should be driving a $20,000+ car, while claiming to have low-income and paying $300 or less for their monthly housing charges! Xaaraantaa dhuuqdid, meel kalaa ka gudee!!! Allaha u naxariisto labadan dhimatay, cidahoodana samir iyo iman ka sii... You made a valid point. It is only now that many somali parents are realizing the consequences of their actions. So you can say good part of our generation were somewhat an experiment The current young parents like yourself inshallah can learn from this and raise their kids in a better environment. Alle ha unaxaristo labada marxuum. Anyone know masjidka lugu tukanayoo Iyo waqtiga?

Thanks sophist for the update.

All these men seem to have one thing in common, they are all somehow related to gang groups. Marka mala odhan karo wa lo tashtay, yaga ayaa dad xun isku xidhey. Alle ha u naxaristo labadan marxuum. Sabar iyo imaan to their families.

Lol@hatu

Mashallah well done to our new president mudane Hassan. God bless him.

This little one is a heart breaker abaheed may ka naxdo lol

^ she said he stood beside her, so he couldn't have avoided the camera.

Chimera, glad you are safe and sound. Always be extra cautious insha'allah. Waqti danbena haba bixin

Subhanalah, I am in tears. Your story didn't bored me at all, it rather touched me deeply walahi. Narniah glad you could help this miskiin elderly man. And trust me you weren't paranoid at all when you tried to avoid him all together since he was stranger, I feel the same way most of the time if a complete stranger approaches me out of nowhere. Our safety is very important. But, alhamdulilah everything turned out well. You were there for him when he was in need. Ilaahay baa ka abaal marinaya and yes it is about time you took pride in your language and learnt it. Baro afkaaga uun baad wax ku noqoni. take care missy.

bashaal aan caadi ahen lol. All my favourite somali singers in one place abdikhaliq, abdi holland and co..And my favorite song markaan 15 jiray inkasto aan xasan adan samatar lugu gadheen. They are all good.

The government have recieved their share of critisism and even been accused of state kidnapping. I know there are many parents who shouldn't raise kids and clearly are not capable of doing so. Except for few cases, relatives ( some even resourceful) are usually not allowed to to take care of them, let alone anyone with the same culture and religion. And since there are few somali or muslim fosterhomes existing, the odds of these kids turning out to be dad dhisan with deen and culture is very slim. Those who actually are trying to raise their kids properly are unfortunately sharing similar fate, having their kids unneccesary questioned by teachers or kindergarden workers. I know i'ts a part of their job, which is really fine. But what I dont like is how some are instigating conflicts that did not previously exist, planting ideas in the minds of vulnerable and easily persuaded children and sometimes even blowing small misunderstandings out of proportion. Luckily some are revealed but not many. Maybe these occuring incidents is perhaps strenghtened by the fact that the somali community is relatively less connected and passive when it comes to dealing with these matters, contrary to 20 years back. I believe the child services are really testing the waters when it comes to somalis. Since many somali parents does not know how to go about it, or try not to disclose the misfortune of loosing their kids to others, helping them is often too late. Decaying families and lack of awareness of the society and its language does not really help much eiher. That's why I think our children are more prone to experience this. The eurocentric behaviour pertaining to ways of rearing children expressed by kindergarden workers and by the child services is quite obvious in many cases aswell. I'm not saying somalis are not at fault here, many really are, so the faults goes both ways which in turn makes it difficult to cooperate. But what's missing, which they are also critized for, is their lack of efforts when it comes to helping these families at their homes with their kids. That is instead of resorting to the extremes, which is breaking up families. Something they say is the last resort, but does not seem to be in many cases. Ilaahay ha u sahlo soomalida dhibaato yarayn ayaa haysata dadkeena. Well put. It is sad that some people think that the system is trying to keep the somali families together. Sadly that is not the case, it is only wishful thinking. Thanks for shedding some light on the issue. Ameen to your du'a.

But, I guess it is not that easy when they been living there for over 20 years. But, they should move to somewhere else. I been hearing crazy stories of that place. Alle ha u naxarisato marxumada. I am also assuming the baby died too - marka alle ha u naxaristo. Sabar iyo iiman to the family.

^Yeah hun our duty is to only suggest. If the person in question doesn't wanna hear it then one has stop preaching.There is no compulsion in Islam. Alhamdulilah.

Of course I will pray for him no doubt. But, it doesn't hurt to advice him. As muslims it is part of our duty to preach (although in my post I barely preached him I simply suggested he grabs a copy of the Koran and see for himself ..) “And who is better in speech then he who invites to Allaah, meaning, Islamic monotheism and does righteous deeds and says; `I am one of the Muslims`” [Quran 41:33].

^ You don't know if those kids were taken to a better place. Maybe they were taken away from their mother who wasn't mentally stable to a stranger who doesn't give a damn about them. The grass isn't always greener at the other side. So, who said justice was served? You are merely assuming. Secondly, Look at you denying the very existence of God. Yet, God is merciful and he's giving you time to repent if you so choose to. Do yourself a favor and read the Koran (or the English translation if you don't understand arabic). And, remember at the end of the day if you believe it is only to your benefit. God doesn't need anything from his own creation.
