Cumar Treaty (Arabic: العهدة العمرية Al-'Uhda Al-'Umariyya), a treaty containing a truce made between Umar and the governor of Jerusalem at the time Sophronius. After successfully defeating the Roman in the Battle of Yarmuk, Umar went up to Jerusalem by horse. He stepped down from his steed and entered the holy city without any bloodshed. He called every single religious leader from Christianity and Judaism to meet him. The treaty In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Beneficent. This is what the slave of Allah, Umar b.Al-Khattab, the Amir of the believers, has offered the people of Illyaa’ of security granting them Amaan (protection) for their selves, their money, their churches, their children, their lowly and their innocent, and the remainder of their people. Their churches are not to be taken, nor are they to be destroyed, nor are they to be degraded or belittled, neither are their crosses or their money, and they are not to be forced to change their religion, nor is any one of them to be harmed. No Jews are to live with them in Illyaa’ and it is required of the people of Illyaa’ to pay the Jizya, like the people of the cities. It is also required of them to remove the Romans from the land; and whoever amongst the people of Illyaa’ that wishes to depart with their selves and their money with the Romans, leaving their trading goods and children behind, then their selves, their trading goods and their children are secure until they reach their destination. Upon what is in this book is the word of Allah, the covenant of His Messenger, of the Khulafaa’ and of the believers if they (the people of Illyaa’) gave what was required of them of Jizya. The witnesses upon this were Khalid ibn Al-Walid, 'Amr ibn al-'As, Abdur Rahman bin Awf and Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan. Written and passed on the 15th year (after Hijrah) Source

Somalis = Somalis (Mush Carab waa mush Afriiqi)

We are Somalis :cool:

Afrikaankan wax tumaayana waayo?

LoL Madness

I never drank soda before moving to the ME. It tastes better here for some reason.

UTV is on Hotbird saxib. Most Somalis have Nile or Arab Sat.

lol@isku dar Nothing like a bit of Earl Grey Tea in the morning :cool: Currently addicted to Sprite/7up

Another good episode.

People laugh at my phone but it still works,,,,

LoL Edited

I have never been a fan of any other ring tones. Nokia's default 'didididiii, didididiii, didididiii is good enough if not already on beep once.

The French will get to the semis or even the final but they lack that bit of class in the middle since Zizou left. The Chechs may have Nedved back. If so they will be my new favourites.

^^Good pointers Sue. I will also be a tourist this year and try to visit places I used to think were for American tourists

^^food for thought JB is on the ground and doesnt know anything! :rolleyes:

Xoogsade, UTV are good in that it tries to maintain the middle ground and cover the news without taking sides. You can sense an element of sorrow for the Somali people in their reports and who can blame them? Emperor et al don't like such news,,,,, I just wish they would stop shouting the news and just talk calmly :rolleyes:
