Salaamz, so whats the deal with Somli Week in Toronto this yr. by the way? Who is actually going all the way to Downtown Toronto to watch these games, when there will be games held in the Westend of Toronto where all the Somalissssss live? Question for the Football/Soccer stars in here, do you get groupiessss when you come down here, excuse me, I meant----------------Groupie Love! If so , then Let me buy my cleets and start doing keep ups with my soccer ball during Somali Week.

Salaamz, jazakallah khayr walaal for that passage from Ettiquettes in Islam by Allama Yusuf Islahi I bought this book not too long ago and really fell in love with it. Its written very simply, easy to follow and the tone of the author is not harsh. Kinda like a grandfather speaking to his grandson. I recommend nomads to get this book inshallah and keep it with you in your bag/purse,knapsack etc. so that you can read it in your travels and/or easily refer to it. Hadith: A person came to the presence of the Prophet SAW and submitted:" O Prophet of ALLAH , A person loves a pious man for his piety, yet himself doesn not emulate the good deeds of this pious man, how shall he be treated in teh next world? "The Prophet answered "It doesnt matter at all, Man shall find himself in the company of that person whom he loves." Bukhari Fi Amanillah

Salaamz, I think that for Winger, walaal ALLAH wanted to TEST your Allegiance on this matter and Alhamdulillah, you chose Allah and his Rasul (salallahu caliyhe wasilm) over the dunya and for that inshallah, you will be rewarded for. You know it is very difficult to get a job especially being Muslim and Black and coming from an immigrant background. No one wants to take that chance on YOU, so you are faced with many employment obstacles that others wouldn't come across. So when Allah tests you with something that you found and you been searching for,longing for, desiring for a long time-then it is real difficult. I can recall the story of prophet Ibrahim who longed for a son and when he become an old man, almost 100yrs old or so, Allah granted him a child and when that child reached Adolescence (became a Young Man), Allah asked Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, his pride and joy,his on blood, his own flesh. Inshallah when some of you nomads have kids, you will become aware of this pull between your kids and obeying Allah and his rasul (salallahu caliyhe wasilm). Your Allegiance will be tested! In anycase, to cut it short, inshallah you will get something better than what you gave up and it might not necessarily be a financial gain. Fi Amanillah

Salaamz, I know that more people visit the Politics forum, so that is why I am posting this here. ADMIN, pls leave the topic here, where more people visit and contribute. I just want to know what Internet Service Providers in Somalialand there are and also any CELL phone companies that dominate it. I am thinking of a project with some friends that want to go mult-national and inshallah setup shop in Somaliland. Is Somaliland a lucrative market? Fi Amanillah

My Pimp name is G. Digital **** Ice Babydoll, you better not MESS with my money :mad: Ameenah and Mrembo, where my Money AT!

Originally posted by Yasmine: People, I have a bit of a dilemma. I have a job interview later this week, and I was reminded to bring my resume and dress in “business attire”. Which brings me to my question... Exactly what kind of clothing is considered appropriate “business attire”? I posed this question to my cousin and got a rather vague answer, so please enlighten me. Thanks. Salaamz, hey welcome to the House of the DUNYA, Yasmine were you will be asked OVER and OVER again, not with WORDS but with ACTIONS to COMPROMISE, and COMPROMISE and COMPROMISE......... for WHAT? (You sound Paranoid Khayr!I'm a strong women-right?) So they ask you wear Business Attire, well unless its a Bonfide Occupational Requirement, that if you didn't wear "Business Attire" then it would cause the Firm/Company undue hardship, then you are not OBLIGED to wear Business Attire. However, the fact that your bring this up is good. Reason being, is for the muslim, its through their DRESS CODE that in the Business WORLD that they are often 'SOCIALLY' and 'Economically' forced to COMPROMISE to the point that you become,act and LOOK like an avg. Co-Worker. QUESTION IS-HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT A PAYCHECK AND SOCIAL STATUS??? Be Resourceful and innovative, with the Dress Code and don't compromise your DEEN for the PAYCHECK. Trust Me, before you know it, you'll embrace the corporate/work culture like your own mother. :eek: Fi Amanillah

Originally posted by Salafi_Online: Innalhamdulillah....Wa Salamu alaykum There are 6 the 6th is: 1) If a muslim seeks advice...advice him Salaamz, Not sure of the sixth one but I'll ask around cause from the book that I was reading 'Ettiquette in Islam' by Muhamed Islahi, it only states 5. However, its possible that in another ruwaya, that its 6. Thanks What is so difficult about the requirements? For #4 - Invitation of what? Well, what is difficult, lets seeeeeeeeeeee -Suppose that you were angry at another muslim or they treated you wrong and they come up to you infront of a crowd and say Salaams to you or they say Salaams to you after they swore at you 5 mins ago. Would you return return the 'SALAAMS'? Personally, I would have a difficulty in doing so cause I would be angry and I would feel that the person would be ridiculing me. I'm being honest here and I have seen this happen before with myself and others. and the others speak for themselves. As to 'Accepting What Invitation' well the Alim in the book that I quoted didn't clarify this. I will check inshallah over the weekend with some people and get back to this point b/c I too raised the same question when I read the hadith. My guess would be an Invitation to someone's Home,To accompany them in a Meal, A wedding invitation or invitation to help them with something etc. Reason why I am saying this is that these activities inshallah, help to strengthen the bond of brotherhood btwn muslims and by refusing the invitation, they can unravel that bond. Fi Amanillah

The Prophet (salallahu caliyhe wasilm) said: "A Muslim has five rights over another Muslim: i) To make a response to the 'Salam'. ii) To visit him if he is laying ill iii) To join in the funeral procession iv) To accept the invitation v) To respond to a sneeze These are some difficult requirements. What do some of you nomads think of these 5 rights that were chosen over other things? Fi Amanillah

Show sympathy because they are muslims? Do you know how ridiculuous that sounds? SubhanAllah, then what you are impleying is that the Muslim is = to the Non-Muslim. Why if Allah favours the Believers over the disbelievers and forgives them for the Errors and Sins, then WHO ARE YOU to ridicule a Believer/Muslim when they sympathisize with other muslims and give them the benefit of the Doubt. Would yuo show sympathy to a child molestor because he is muslim and did it in the name of God? -Well what if that person is your Brother or Cousin or Mother? Would you show sympathy to them or Report them to the POLICE and have them locked Up? The issue here is whether their methods of revenge and using God's name to justify their actions is right or wrong? Is that really the ISSUE or is it how we attach SENTIMENT to what is RIGHT in ISLAM. Meaning, if you like SOMETHING, then ISLAM should give room for it and if you find something DISGUSTING, HORRID, GRUESOME, Not to your Liking-then ISLAM doesn't SUPPORT IT, its HARAM! Should we support them then? or condemn them for their wrong actions? That is where the muslim community is lacking. We just don't stand up to the wrong that muslims do in the name of our religion. The Devil does speak Half Truths mixed with other things. I agree with you on the point that we can Disagree with someone if their Actions and Methodology are erronous. However, its the way that some Sentimental Muslims go about expressing their disagreement, that I draw differences of opinion to. To speak OPENLY about an error that a Muslim does is not good ADAB. There is a hadith in which the Rasul (salallahu caliyhe wasilm) expresses this by informing the sahaba that for every bad thing that they see in a muslim, they should replace those thoughts with a 100 good thoughts about that muslim (Correct me if I didn't get the main theme of the Hadith). Point is, when WHO benefits from negative muslim publicity? Is it ISLAM?The Somalis?You? or are all of you under the same Umbrella? If you got a group of muslims at your work and you see them coming in late, would you tell your BOSS about them or speak to your muslim co-workers in private and inform them of their actions? while we sit here and constantly complain about why o why the WORLD is against us. Takbiir If you were being Sarcastic about the 'TAKBIR' at the end of your post Opi/DA, then I don't Appreciate the Ridicule. However, if it is to support your cause, then you do play the role of the Devil's Helper very well.

Salaamz, Just wanted so say that I'm loving the debates on this thread. This reminds of why I came to SOL in the first place, NOT to talk about Who likes WHO and Who wants to MEET WHO, but rather to discuss pertinent/important issues that we come across our lives and how we relate to them and relate to the deen. Rememeber: War is Propaganda! Masha Allah! Keep up the discusion :cool:

Salaamz, hey I just wanted to know who some of the nomads and their parents got married. I'm curious to know and inshallah learn some new things from your stories, inshallah. -Did your father see your mother at the house then asked for her hand in marriage from her Aabo? -Where they 'Dating' and 'Sneaking Around' and then they got caught? So they got married? -Was the marriage set up through family ties like cousins-marrying their cousins? -Also, at what age did your mothers get married at? No presumptions or hostile words, pls! Fi Amanillah

Originally posted by Salafi_Online: Innalhamdulillah....Wa Salamu Alaykum How about this one: STATEMENTS OF APOSTASY BY Yusef Qardawee! The actual text of his words are as follows (in the second part of a Friday khutbah), "Before I leave this station of mine (i.e. from giving this khutbah) I love that I should say a word about the results of the Israeli elections. The Arabs, all of them, were placing their hopes in the victory of Barleen, however he lost and this is what we praise about Israel. We desire and hope that our country can be like this country. Due to only a small number of people, the one who was actually ruling lost his position. There was not 94% or 95% (of votes) which is what we are accustomed to in our country, but 99%, (yes) 99%. If Allaah had presented himself to the people as a candidate he would not have been able to take this amount… we welcome Israel for what it has accomplished ACudubillah! For verily our Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, is not in need of voting, for He, free is He of all imperfection is the one who says "Be" to something and it is. He is the one who destroyed Fir’aun, and He destroyed Qaarun, and He destroyed many nations, from amongst those who exceeded beyond bounds and who stood in the faces of the Prophets of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. So he aided the Prophets and gave them victory, in this life and the next. Stated Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen after these words were played to him, "I seek refuge in Allaah. It is obligatory for this person to repent. And if he does not he should be killed as an apostate, since he made the creation more knowledgeable than the Creator. It is upon him to repent to Allaah, so if he repents, then Allaah forgives the sins of His servants. And if not then the Wullaat ul-Amr should strike his neck (with the sword)." (Cassette Recording, quoted in Silencing the Hounding Dog, p.119). Salaamz, You know its preciously Ulema like this who the Saudi government uses to monopolize what is the UMMAH'S HAQQ, who issues fatwas on demand about APOSTASTY of other ULEMA and MUMIN's when it deems fit :mad: :mad: :mad: Unless someone goes against ISLAM on what their is IJAMA about, meaning no disagreement i.e. -Allah is ONE -Muhamed (salallahu caliyhe is the last rasul) -The Quran is from Allah -5 pillars of Islam (just that they are part of Islam and are Far'aad/Wajibaats) -6 pillars of Iman Then, we should hold our tongues very carefully cause pronouncing Takfeer on someone is a SERIOUS allegation in ISLAM and no easy matter, for some run of the mill Alim backed by a Taaghuti/Tyrannical government. For those who cant speak Arabic.. the writing below is Qardawi’s response to a question from a reporter who asked him.. “Shiikh while I was passing by your house I over heard some music, so could you tell us to whom does shikh Qardawi listen to? He replied.. Well I am too busy to listen to music, but when I do I normally listen to AbdiAlwahaab (an Egyptian singer) when he sings about night time, and Um Kalthoom’s (another Egyptian singer) (Sky of the west, Ask my Heart,.. etc..) and I “passionately listen Faiza Ahamd specially her family songs…….etc… Now, the point is ????? This is being higlighted and posted on SOL for what particular reason, unless its to shed a 'Negative Light' on the ALIM. :confused: This doesn't invalidate his role as a Mujtahid-does it? :rolleyes: Hadith: 'Whoever honors the Ulema has honored Me'

Salaamz, The reason for the rise in pre-marital relationships is that arranged marriages are no longer practiced by Somalis. I agree I personally don't see a problem with two people who want to get to know each other before they get married (as long as they don't go over the top and do it gaalo style). Now suddenly,sentimentality plays a role and lets things slide here by saying 'PERSONALLY'. You are saying something but your heart believes in something else, hence the change in attitude in the latter paragraph. I know a lady who lets guys that are interested in her daughter to visit her in the house because she feels that gives her a peace of mind - knowing who she's talking to and making sure that’s all that gonna happen between them. Talk! It's better than the undercover bizniz most Somalis get involved in - cos as they say wax la qariyo ceeb baa ku jirta.. and I am 100% that any gal who was a seeing a brother just for the sake of ‘bashaal’ or whatever – the last people she’d wanna know about it – are hooyo and aabo. If , I was a mother, I'd probably adopt this approach with my daughter - if he is prepared to come to your house and talk to you in front of your parents - than you got yourself a serious man. I think that also goes inline with the Islamic perspective... don't confuse it with the meet the parents scenarios on American television. So then to let me get this from what Ameenah wrote here, the points are then: -It is good to let things OUT and have no shame. So therefor, bringing a 'boyfriend/girlfriend' home or telling the family is a GOOD THING. "It's better than the undercover bizniz" -Peace of Mind to a parent is important and justifies what the children do. So as long as the child tells the parents what they are doing, it is Tolerable!!! -That the Deen tolerates Relationships outside of Marriage as long as ofcourse, the people say that they are going to get married (Just the intention has to be set, to make it HALAL-right?) I must say that your response was more than impressive. Laakin, I don't want disappoint you walaal but gabdhaha Somaalia joogaaba wiilasha wey la sheekeystaan. I mean how are you gonna find a xaajiyad, if you don't talk to girls ... Well, does that Sum Up your thoughts then. "I mean how are you gonna find a xaajiyad, if you don't talk to girls " Fi Amanillah

You could call me what ever you like but when I attack you back, please don’t act like an angel and look for help from others. Bro you have made us a group more like bunch of hooligans which I don’t mine but my good friends that I met here in SOL don’t like the Idea of being a group of friends that get pointed out.

When I said 'Qaaxoti Unit' I was thinking about D.A./OPi's thread on 'Working Out for the Summer' where in she used the term 'Qaaxoti's' to refer to people who mostly type in Somali and ofcourse the 4 of you come to mind. Raali aa xoo, saxib. Sometimes, I joke a little too much. It was a play on words-Kaaftin.Most of us are Qaaxotis anyways. Fi Amanillah

Sweet Gal, I know what answer it is as I do work in the area of Archaeology and Paleontology.

Salaamz, I was just wondering since we are on the topic of ethiopians, has any nomad ever seen an 'UGLY' ethiopian/eriterian?

Originally posted by OG_Moti: This post is absurd, inhumane, straight discrimination and taking sides, This beautiful poem supposed to be dedicated first to me and to other members who are nicer than these you mentioned, and this post also shows that these who had direct impact on your life and in an extend shaped your life has been ignored and disregarded, people such as Me, libaax, J11, Derman, The nomad, X, BB, CR, Pyscho S, and others Ya Allah! Taalo, taalo, waa war cuusob. So these are all the SOL 'HUGGING' crew that having been Teaming up on people and defending people like LUCKY who plays cute and innocent (but really isn't 'THAT INNOCENT' when u get to know her) :rolleyes: Rockfella thats u're name from now on, you gonna get yourz. Were is the Qaaxooti unit(QQ,CK,GT & Nunne!)when you need them. Waryaa, Snake Eater, Lucky is just HAPPY today cause of a 'CERTAIN SOMEONE'-I won't tell! So don't be jealous if you fall '3rd place' on her list. .................. By the way, whats up with all these 'let me KEZZ ASHHH' to some people threads that are popping up on sol like 'AWARDS,l love this person on SOL, I want to play a MOCK TRAIL,I love you Admin. etc.' type topics :eek: :eek: :eek:

Salaamz, whats the point of this thread? Did someone argue that women CAN'T talk to men in Islam? I am a little confused as to the AIM of this thread. I orignally thought that you were talking about if it is HALAL for WOMEN to SING. But that issue has been clarified in a link posted on this thread. Let me know why you posted this thread. Where there people telling you that you can't talk because you are a Women? I'm curious and confused. I am not trying to be rude in the least why, so please don't offense to my question. Fi Amanillah

Vacation from SOL kkkkkkkkkkkkkk STOP! One month, saxib sheekodhas naaga dhaf. :rolleyes: Oh you kidding,man! See you today and tomorrow inshallah too, SOPHIST! Man, I need a real vacation been working for two yrs straight, no VACATION and have accumulated my vacation days for someplace memorable. Vacation from SOL, waar bax! Ya'aab, I never heard of this thread before, but I'll give you a D for trying. Fi Amanillah

Salaamz, I have to say this (Like it or Not!) but some of you nomads are showing your TRUE COLOURS. B/C HIBO/TRY ME, is your friend or u might like her, you won't tell her straight. RELATIONSHIP outside of MARRIAGE is HARAAAAAM!!!! Plain and simple, you can't be 'Dipping' here and there with someone and then a yr later say that u are about to get married to them or worse, say b/c your engaged to them/want to marry them etc. that you go out and see them, thereby justifying your actions. TRY ME, put your emotions to the side (It will pass) and make Du'a for Allah is with those who are PATIENT and ENDURING inshallah and who opt for the HALAL over the HARAM and QUESTIONABLE. Fi Amanillah

I said I wanted a HOLIDAY, in a beautifully scenic and sunny region of the world. And not some viagra-assisted 2-minute fumble in some alleyway." I nearly fell off my antideluvian chair walahi! how horrid, shokincgly whimsical comment loaded with Somali girl's perception of our prowess!!! I never thought I would read this Walahi!!!! but hey it is a Spring Salaamz, Sophist-I'm just doing some RESEARCH From Anis ibn Malik who said: The rasul (salallahu caliyhe wasilm) said:" It has been made beloved unto me from the world, Women and Perfume and the coolness of my eyes has been placed in prayer". Reported by Imam Ahmed and Nisai So in all these things, The attributes of Allah can be found such as Al-Jalaaliya (Majestic Attributes such as Beauty, Harmony etc.). In these things the rasul (salallahu caliyhe wasilm)loved Women, Perfume and Salat because in these things he (salallahu caliyhe wasilm) found the reflection of Divine Attributes and the Rememberance of Allah. So to answer your observation- I'm just remembering Allah's attributes in Women. So I haven't Slipped that much, inshallah I am still holding on to the rope of Allah. .................

Salaamz I just wanted to know what kind of gifts some of the SOL xalomo's like/prefer: Categories a) Clothing b) Jewellery (What kind?) c) Shoes d) Combination of Clothing and Jewellery P.S. None of that Memorial Business about 'I just want His SMILE or that bus transfer receipt when we first met on the bus going to school etc. blah blah blah OK!!!
