Just read this thread and think ahead 20 or 25 years in peaceful Somalia. People getting at each other's throats because of the polarising opinions they have. "War taxi driving waa fiican yahay" and "beenloow taksiilenimo ma nuureyso" or "askari markaan gaal u noqonaaye ma aqligaa dooni la iga saarey" and "waraa adiga ma jirtid nooh, askarimada waa wax lagu faano" is the beggining of bigger rifts. Then, in Somalia, I hope we'll find a medium of communication amongst ourselves, as our opinion diverge. Anigu, I wouldn't say anything against this fella. Heck I would say good luck man, it's your choice. After all, Sayid C/Xassan use to say, Gacan Weliga Naftay Goyso . Hadduu wiilkan Muslimiin dilaayo iyo hadii kaleba waa mid isaga u taal oo damiirkiisa ayeey ku xiran tahay. Hadii sababtuu askari u noqday sababo kale yihiin, waxaaba suurta gasha inuu isaga baxo kolkuu danihiisa ka gaaro. Mark there shouldn't be much fuss about his choice now.

If you took an epic journey into the life of a man who transformed humanity, what would you discover? What would you unquestionably miss if you did not? Muhammad is not the father of any of you; He is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the Prophets – Qur’an “If there was no miracle except the Seerah of the Prophet, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, then it would suffice as the greatest miracle!” - Ibn Hajar Dear Student of Knowledge, If you have yearned to cultivate your relationship with Allah's Messenger, cry tears of love and spend two weekends with hundreds of students of knowledge doing all the above, then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read. Here's why: We all know Seerah classes have been taught far and wide, and CD’s are available. They happen, however, over a period of 8 weeks or 8 months, or you listen in your car on a long vacation drive. Everyday life gets in the way and the beauty of hearing the entire story and its lessons gets interrupted. Seerah - The Shepherds Path is unlike any Seerah class that has been taught. No where else will in your city can you spend TWO full EmanRush WEEKENDS learning to love Allah's Messenger. No where else will you get the chance to forget your surroundings all weekend long and immerse yourself back to the cave of Hira 5 minutes before Angel Jibreel began the revelation. No where else will you feel the energy that is created when hundreds of Muslim students come together in one classroom. "None of you believes until I am dearer to him than his own father, his child, and all of mankind." – Muhammad, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam This is not a seminar … this is an event in your city’s history. The two weekends when your city gathered together to experience the Messenger of Allah’s Seerah, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. Let me give you three good reasons why this Seerah seminar will over-exceed your expectations: Five Reasons To Believe What We Are Saying Reason one: Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef is a captivating narrator! He has the ability to connect the audience with the story at hand, allowing students to journey and re-live each incident with the messenger of Allah SalAllahu Alayhi Wa sallam. Reason two: Each time Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef starts The Shephard's Path, he promises you tears by the end of the seminar, and each time he fulfills his promise. The last day of The Shephard's Path simulates the last day with the Prophet Muhammad SalAllahu Alayhi Wa sallam. Reason three: As a true visionary with exceptional talents in motivating others, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef extracts lessons from the Seerah of the Messenger of Allah SalAllahu Alayhi Wa sallam in a manner that is applicable to every student of knowledge in the modern day. Never before have you studied the Seerah from his perspective. Reason four: Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef has studied the life of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam INDEPTH from some of the greatest scholars of our time in the City of the Prophet, Madinah al-Munawarrah Reason five: Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef's eloquence in the English language paired with his soothing Qur'aanic recitation captivates the listener as one feels a rush of Eman and a pulsating urge to apply the knowledge learned. http://www.almaghrib.org/london/

Somali 78-year old: ‘I wish I had not lived this long’ Adan Malin Omar wishes being dead before seeing own home destroyed by Somali government. MOGADISHU - Adan Malin Omar, 78, who fought for Somalia's independence from Italy in the 1950s, survived the 16-year civil war and did not leave his home in the Abdiaziz district of north Mogadishu, even at the height of the violence. However, he is now displaced, being one of 450 families whose homes were demolished by the local government in Mogadishu. His house was partially destroyed in June and he and his wife are sheltering in what is left of his home of 50 years. He spoke to IRIN on 10 July: "I have lived in the same place since before independence [1960]. My children were born here and so were my grandchildren. We have survived the artillery attacks of Ali Mahdi and Aidid [two 1990s warlords]. All that and the lootings did not dislodge us. "Our house was looted many times by different militias. "Through it all we remained here and endured for one reason only, not to be homeless. After all we have been through, now they have put us on the street. "For the first time in my life, I know what it feels like not have a home and to sleep under makeshift shelter. "We are being told that this [the demolition] is being done for security reasons but we know it is not true. It is being done for money. "My wife and I are very old and we are reduced to sitting in the rubble of our home. We have no strength to go anywhere, so we just sit here and they are circling us like vultures. "At night we sleep in what used to be our compound. We will never leave this place alive. We will die first. “How can you tell me that the house I owned and lived in for 50 years is no longer mine? Every government recognised my right until now. “I fought for this country's independence and this is how they repay me. I sometimes I wish I had not lived this long, then I would not have to see this.” © IRIN http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=26851
