Islam page missed Rahima's posts Nur

Hodman writes: We are so afraid of criticism that we can't stand up for our deen. So true, that is why this page is not humming with responses, Nomads are looking over their shoulder, aware of their BIG Brother, while they may not be mindful of the two angels Raqiib and Catiid, who tirelessly record all of our actions private and public.

LazieG. The idea of marriage is not all about looks, looks hooks up together, they dont keep us together, its faith in Islam that does that. Some Faaraxs argue that we need breeding good Faarax genes, so that we can solve Somalia's problems from conception, literally. If all Xalimos only marry good Faarax, regardless if he is married or not (provided he is within quota) , then the good genes of the xalimos will be amplified by the good Faarax's behaviour, to bring good kids, not anarchists! what do you say?

>>>> Response>>>> Reposeted, Originally Posted in 2004>>> Following up on the link of the beginning and the end parts of the Surah Al Caadiyaat. As I have said earlier , the link as I understood is theMOTIVATION , the drivers of our actions, just like a horse is driven to wars breathing heavily, rasing dust behind it and striking fires with its hoof as it attacks a complacent enemy. Will our past actions or the lack of ever catch up with us? you bet! saaxib. Allah SWT the creator of man tells man who he is, and what drives him, what kind of a person he is ( KANOOD aka ungrateful unappreciative), that quality being the mother of all evils and bad character. Being KANOOD, or the attitude of some wealthy kids "BRATS", or "PREPPIES" who wre born with a silver spoon on their mouths, makes a person not driven to thank his maker for all the good given to them, and as a consequence become an introvert caring only about himself/herself at the cost of the common good of fellow passengers on planet earth , mankind and animals. Now look again at the contrast of a warrior in the cause of Allah SWT on a horse back, driven to please his lord to help justice prevail, justice for man and justice for the creator of man, making our planer a peaceful, clean and brotherly for all of its inhabitants. The Surah concludes with a sobering statement: The day of judgment and the opening ceremony of the unveiling of our concealed motives that drove all of our actions on earth. It will be asked: was it with IKHLAAS ( Sincerity for the sake of Allah alone?) being the first quantity to be measured and ITTIBAAC ( Following the Sunnah method of our Prophet Muhammad SAWS being the best-in-class benchmark to qualify the acceptance of our deeds in Allah's court in that day).

Uthman Bro. You write; In conclusion the division is brought about ignorance of the teachings of the Messenger(pbuh) and the desires of people to bring about innovation into the religion. And unity will only be brought about once we adhere to the Quran and Sunnah and interpret it like the way of the salafs, whether you name this order Salafism or not is irrelevant because this is the true teachings of islam. Your fisrts statement makes ignorance as the culprit, which is correct, your last statement says that unity can only be achieved if we adhere to Quran and Sunnah alone. My question is: Is the adherence to the Quran and Sunnah an end or a means to an end? If it is an end, what is it? Nur

Viking Bro. You write: Nur, I understand what you are getting at but some conditions have to be met before hadd is imposed. A future islamic govt in Somalia has to put in place a social welfare system, a working healthcare and education system before cutting off limbs. Naden has a point when she says you have to drain the dirty water to get rid of the mosquitoes. Couldnt say it better, however the magic of the Sharia is not in the actual chopping of hands, its the powerful dterrence, all the past criminals are in Mogadishu as I write this response but they are so afraid to commit a crime under the ICU from what they have heard, a living proof that the stern message has done the trick, no need for actual chopping.

Djib-Somali Yes, brother, they need a Vision Communication, until now, their vision remains to be seen, speacially by the skeptics and Qabilists, If you can find any info on this matter. please post it, I am curious. Ummul Kheir, a respected sister of mine is claiming that Sheikh H. Dahir Aweiss said publicly that somalians are gaalo, this allegation is dangerous either way, as the Sister or the brother can be in a grave error, we need clarification from those who know what the sister is referring to.

Camabaro sis Indeed, sis, we are but travellers on the highway of life, as we drive down life's highway though, we need to be able to plan the course we are taking, take the neccessary fuel, partners, Akhira 3D visualization frames and glasses, stay sober by not being a Dunyaholic, so that if the COP ( Constables On Patrol Angels) stop us, we can walk the sobriety line straight, which is a pre-requisite to passing the test of the final line in Akhira known as SIRAAT Highway. Nur

Aaliya sis I fully agree, but we need to back it up with stats. Nur

1 & Only Its a word that reflects the trendy times, times of fusion of ideas and peoples, Globalism, mass migration and contact of contrasting ideologies, faiths and beliefs that find themselves in close proximity. Moderate, Extreme ( Muslim) is a relativistic description of how an observer sees Islam, depending on wher she/he stands on Islam's cause itself. The Observers picture is affected by, a previous bias, knowledgebase, country of residency and its lifestyle and faith. An observer can be: 1. Muslim 2. Non Muslim If the observer is a Muslim, we have: a. Very Keen to follow and apply what he/she knows b. Moderately keen c. Loosely realted to the faith If the Observer is a non Muslim, we have: a. Sympathetic to Islam's cause b. Oblivious to religions and ideologies c. Biased against Isalm Now, depending on where an observer stands, A Moderate can be: 1. Person who drinks alcohol occasionally, parties and prays at times. 2. Person who does not drink alcohol, does not party, and p;rays regularly, but who is not active in any Islamic activity. 3. Person who is devoted to the cause of islam, who cares about others plight, who would extend help to the needy and poor if able, and who is active in the community. 4. A person who strives in changing the world to fit Islam, instead of changing Islam to fit the world. Nur 2006 Courtesy of eNuri Opticians Picture Yourself In Heaven!

Mr. Faarax Alhamdulillah, congratulations for putting a fair fight with Dunyaa, Allah swt says : Walladiina jaahaduu fiinaa la nahdiyannahum subulanaa" " As for those who put up a fight seeking ( Allah), we shall surely guide them toward us" GUARANTEED. Digaale. Identifying the problem is a quick win, next, you need to measure the impact if left unslolved, later, you need to devise a solution and follow it thru. Naden. Sorry I missed that page, purpose of life is an area of research at eNuri, since Allah blessed us finding out about it, we are active on forums sharing our perspective with other Nomads. The Dunyaholism affliction is not about having money, its also getting bogged down looking for a survival, when in reality, what you are looking is right in your hands, only Duaa away, Allah provides RIZQ, the minute you think that you have to provoide RIZQ by forgoing a prayer, or doing a little good on earth, you are missing the point, Allah SWT says : And encourage your folk to pray ( after youd do it right), We dont require you to provide RIZQ for yourself, We do provide it for you, and the last (laugh) is for Taqwa ( realization of Allah's demands and fulfilling his covenants) Pi Survivaholism is a subset of Dunyaholism, anyway you skin it, there is no excuse for staying in the rat race to the point that we forget to focus on purpose of life, poverty at times can lead to Kufr.

A good question! Whatever happened to the concept of Brotherhood? Are we enemies to each other or brothers/Sisters to each other in Faith? Nur

Modesty sis How we feel about our faith is a function of time, knowledge and motivation. At any given moment, if we have the right combination of the above three elements, Ikhlaas being the right motivation, our akhlaaq and how we treat others will add value to Islam, on the other hand if our knowledge is limited, and motivation is not sincere, our actions will be a liabaility to Islam, we should pray: O Allah do not make as fitnah for the unbelievers! Amin A reason for them to mock at our faith and morals! Nur

Nasir This issue is personal, does not need regulation, there are three types of men and women when it comes to this issue; Men: 1. Those who like the idea, but are oblivious to the responsibilities ahead. 2. Thos who like the idea from a strategic point of view, they either love kids, lotts of them, plan to raise a village for a higher purpose. 3. Those who dont like the Idea, and if they didnt have a desire, would stay celibate forever. Women: Mostly hate the Idea, But: 1. Some accept it as a fact of life, they try to adjust to it. 2. Some accept it as a tactical move, they intend to shatter a life. 3. Some would never accept it at any cost. Only grroup 2 of Men and Group 1 of women can make it work, but again, they need to share a higher purpose to offset the pressures that this arrangement loads on family life, otherwise, a breakup becomes imminent.

Caano Geel bro. You ask: Nur, what about the islam our parents, grandparents and ancestors practiced in their day, where was that imported from? Precisely brother, the Islam we want applied is our great grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grandfathers Islam. You see, we have A SLIGHT DIFFERENNCE, You want to go back couple of generations back only, as that may expediently fit your current taste, on the otherhand, we are trying to go back all the way to the time of the Prophet SAWS to relearn and re-apply the authentic form of Islam again. Why? Well, as an analogy, Communications Engineers use repeaters to strengthen a weak signal during transmission, there are many protocols to rebuild a fainting signal back to its original and most accurate waveform so it can deliver the true meaning the transmitter intended. Similarly, Hydraulic Engineers also guide water from mountains and wells to housing projects and reservoirs using gravity, but they make sure that there are pumps in these canals to regulate water flow, while at the same time filtering the impurity that water picks up on its downstream course, so we drink pure clean water. Likewise Saaxib, Islam is being delivered once more with the original purity, reconstructing the original message using a host of Islamic scineces known as Cilmul Xadiith, Jarx wa Tacdiil, Maqaasidul Shariiacah, Fiqhul Usuul, etc...the problem is that people used to drinking dirty water have hard time gulping pure water, it takes time to get used to, but rest assured we are patient, soon , you too Caano Geel, will enjoy the same original taste inshAllah.

Ayoub bro. Allah says in Quraan : "Wa in min qaryatin illaa khalaa fiihaa Nadiir". Meaning: there is not a Village (throught history) without a ( person to remind them about Allah and the day of judgement) This is a global village, Somali Nomads from Kurtunwaarrey to Kansas, congregate around these sites and read the same pages and get the same message on SOL, in this Village of SOL, some volunteer Nomads have taken the time to remind their peers about Allah, but response and interest levels are matching the historical levels of apathy, when the wake up call rings, it will be too late.

Duufaan You suggest; 1) Unconditional peace through the country 2) Justice and fairness 3) Citizenship How can we achieve these ideals? Nur

Cambaro sis Word has it that Siad Barre summoned many Sheikhs during his adoption of Marxisim - Lenninism campaign, aka Sceintific Socialism. Siad Barre said that the Islam that is being practiced by the wadaads is not in tune with the Somali culture, therefore he asked them to prepare a new version of domestic consumption Islam. The attendees, some of whom may still be alive to verify this strange occurance even said that the President asked them to write a new Quraan instead of the IMPORTED Quraan from Arabia. Cambaro sis Ironicaly, the Isam we practice today in Somalia is indeed imported, not from Arabia, its from the Heavens, landed initially in Makkah, then carried to Somalia on hearts of pious men and women, for your happiness in the next life and the current.

General Duke Alhamdulillah for the great news, I missed this wonderful PEACE of news, I knew our brothers in Puntland were up to some serious business, but to set such an agenda and get it accepted by the elders is indeed a great day. Its through Islam and only genuine Islam that we can rebuild our nation and help our poor people, now, we need volunteers to help dig wells for the villages of Bur Ciideed and Riig Oomane, the drought has claimed many livestock and the water table is only 40-60 meters deep, shame on us for the suffering of our people. What we need, is to pool experties and volunteer across regions to put a smile back on fractured hearts of our great people, I knew, when push comes to shove, Somalis, will set aside their differeces and come to identify themselves with their faith. Noteworthy is the third article of the MOU: that Peace of Puntland is MUQADDAS ( Hole), before some people get confused, may I clarify that the statement is in line with a Hadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad SAWS in which he said that the Blood of a Muslim is holier than the Hole Kaaba, ( in Allah's eyes), in that context peace in Puntland and elswhere is Muqaddas, people's lives, property and dignity are all protected by the very Sharia they have accepted willingly. A great choice for the people of Puntland! Now inshallah Allah will bless the land, people and livestock. "Wa low anna ahlal quraa aamanuu wa attaqaow, la fataxnaa caleyhim barakaatin mina assamaa........." Baldatun, tayyibatun, wa Rabbun Ghafuur! Wallahi, that news invigorated me today, Jazakallah kheiran General, your title should be upgraded to a Boqor. Nur
