^^^Yes you are. Often people assume that if they convince you it is good to love you parents, you will suddenly and magically start to love them. You cannot convince someone to love their parents. They either do or they don't. Often if the parent has been absent in the childhood, in combination with painful memories or abandonment, it will only be natural to resent him as an adult o even question him. To be honest he has no right to demand parental treatment since as he was never there for them or assumed the father role. Providing the sperm does not absolve him of parenthood. In saying that it is good for her as an individual both mentally and psychological to let go of the past and try her best to do her duty as his child. Otherwise it will affect her whole life, her views of men, trust, love etc. Her father will be questioned for his neglect and unfairness to his wife, kids and the responsibility he did not fulfill, therefore she should try her best to observe her Islamic duties and be kind and helpful to him. She’ll probably never love him as much as most people love their fathers, but spending time with him, may foster some understanding and mutual respect if nothing else. I personally think haad she is a bit pis*sed off and emotional hence the outburst, but seen as she is qoof deen taa gaarisa, she will see her error. That’s my 2cent.

^^^LOOOOOOOOOOOl. HAHAHa Don't mind her, she's never been there and is just pulling you leg. I use to think the mad coloured hijabs were from another world. Lool @ play wid stones.

Samawad: Sky carrier?. It sounds like a habaar. P.s. How many of you are using these name son your kids?

^^^I'm not worried for myself, rather as I said, that it has emerged in my family within the last 6months and I'm still trying to cope with it, part of that is understanding its trends. something that was alien to us, has suddenly become a major topic in our household. I’m just wondering out loud…don’t mind me.

^^^Well, give me red anyday rather than green or aaf-laa

^^^Loool @ Maano Koobiyo! HAHA lool. Geel Jire these days wll the guys have red..or rather green teeth regardless of which part they are from (that is if they have any left)

^^^How so, I know too many and it has given me nothing but grieve. Ngonge: I was not asking him as doctor, I was asking him if he noticed the same trend. :rolleyes: I thought you was an accountant?? :confused:

Loool, niimaki somaliad waa waashiin!! Say WHAT?? He is going to pretend he already has a wife!. lool Sorry honey but what ever is putting women marrying him now will put so called 2nd wife off as well. Tell him to man up, pull up his trousers and haablaah nacnacad kaal taag plz. What kind of story is that?? :rolleyes:

^^^YEah Alhumdulilah. Can you shed light to why we see a lot more cases now days, compared to previously.

Maskiin. May Allah have mercy on him and his soul rest. There days I have been meeting a lot of people with some form of cancer or another. In the last year within my own family there has been three cases. What is going on with these disease that never use to affect our community before, or is it that people are now diagnoses and aware of what they are suffering from?

^^^Loool. Indeed it is. Che it is the water.

^^Coool, have fun. Ngonge: I know him, he use to come around, We went to his funeral, and his dad was there, his mum use to send tapes from Somali to us and he use to come and collect it. Did not really know many Somali's from what I remember. Everyone was saying that his GP hide the diagnosis from him until it was too late for treatment. Allah haa uu naaxaristo. but if that is the case they should take him to court, damn him Did he leave kids behind, I remember we went back home to marry.

^^^Lool, if you have a family there, they will look after it dee. Che: Ask someone who's been there recently dear, before agreeing with ancient folk tales. Red teeth Somalis hail from many places, I did not see more in Burco compared to other places I went to. But some only have alittle line and it looks fab, I wanted to draw one on! Serenity you have not been to either so waaxba laaga deegisan maayo.

^^^^Loool, dude I know the whole somali community via that method, so it means nothing. But still that person could have been CL.

^^^YEah right, I just saw pigs fly pass my window. Ngonge! lool, chance are it is not there still, get north or JB to check for you. Burco is not for the weak of heart.

^^^Hello Serenity, maa shaaqolaan baak kuu heese?? You know perfectly well that is not the case. We are peace loving, nice people, so nice that when people like you insult us, we only flash them a beautiful smile

^^^Loool, so do you know CL in real life, she's already told you this story, while she was so outraged!

^^NO way?? really wow, you've come a long way since last year Mr. I'm never going there. Ps Who will hold your hand...and what about the snakes?? To answer your question; yes you can, it is only few hours flight, take 3days to look around in comfort.

^^^Lool, baal who gave you the power to revoke his membership, which streach back to Hawa and Adam?? Hooyo is back, great, she is needed I hear for those ever so important events. I'm sure you can live for a few more days on your own, pluz she's stayed wid u long enough. Ngonge why how many do you need?

^^^Never knew people were so keen on Burco, or that so many Burcaawi ppl on SOL. Yaab baadan, these people will soon run us out.! P.s. I'm good honey, staying alive and all. You ready to jet in

^^Loool @stoic hello, how are you?? Where in Africa are you going, and why would anyone need convincing to go to Africa?? take me wid you Malika, I agree with AAliyah on this one, I really think y'll jumping the gun. Have a good weekend honey

^^^*waves*, hello @ bless Looool @ you two above! hehehe Nice pic. burco here she comes.

^^Logically yes, but you as an individual cannot take someone out of the fold of Islam, if they are not practicing, the Culamah say that if the person, believe in Allah and Mohammed and the revelation, but is not practising out of laziness or whatever reason other than disbelieve, we cannot say they are not a Muslim. If I remember correctly there are two ways of going out of the fold of Islam, both require intention. but allah knows best, I will try and dig up the evidence if I get time inshallah. But I agree, the essence of Islam is practicing.

^^YEp a whole mini bar. I've played with it a bit, if you cannot still see the pick, PM me your e-mail I will send it to you. Urban, I have not forgotten the promise I made, to find you something, I just have not found the right thing yet.

^^If someone does not believe in God for whatever reason, they are free to say so, they have no shame in front of Allah and deny his existence, why would you expect him to fear you (as a human) or be embarrassed to tell you?) It is a perfectly valid declaration to make, people have the right to disbelieve and declare their disbelieve. Being Somali does not equate being a Muslim P.s. I think you guys are jumping the gun a bit, he said he does not practise Islam anymore, nothing about I don't believe in Islam anymore. It is the same as saying I am a non practising Muslim (I know it makes no sense, because the essence of Islam is practice in its nature) but you would not say that this person in a no longer a Muslim would you?
