  1. What's more disgraceful is the fact that you insult these girls and parade them on a site used by many somalis so that they are ridiculed. It is a virtue to focus and point out the positive qualities of a person and when you can not then keep your views to yourself.
  2. NG- if you going to give her pocket money also teach her to appreciate and be grateful. Even a child should be taught to earn.
  3. Ridiculous. They should be donating that money to more deserving people ie the orphans, poor people etc rather than few qanbayaars who should be devoting to their parents regardless.
  4. The slide show, hearts and bl%%dy song ruined it for me. Would have been good to watch otherwise.
  5. I too find Al-Ain much better in terms of city and weather than Dubai. I was told there is hot spring there but i could not find it. Baashi, really Iceland? I went there few yrs ago and during my stay I only came across one black person. Hardly a diverse country but beautiful landscape.
  6. LOL- that was hilarious. Thx
  7. I am currently reading Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell. Next book on my list to read is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
  8. Adam is absolutely right on this. How did you reach this conclusion? Single mothers on the rise you state, what stats are u referring to and how are u benchmarking to determine this augmentation? I suggest that you stop emitting false information.
  9. I have been asked this question few times lately and to be honest I am not so sure. I naively believed that as long as I am a Muslim it would not matter which division I followed. As far as I understood all that I am required to secure a place in heaven is to master the 5 pillars. If that’s the case then why do we have 73 divisions in Islam of which I have been told unceremoniously that ONLY one is the true religion and the rest absolute gibberish. How could that be when the few I am aware of share the fundamentals. Hence I have decided to call myself just a Muslim not a Sunni nor a Shia.
  10. I am actually starting to believe that Somaliland gaining its independence would be better for both the North and South. I see not how exactly Somaliland independence would be a detriment to Somalia? I think the South should concentrate towards alleviating the hatred and misery of the people rather than Somaliland affairs. Why should Somaliland be pinalised for the incumbrance of Somalia's politics.
  11. NG- are u for real? Do you know that there are malls in Somaliland? The food taste better, the air is fragrant, the majority of the people are hospitable and would start a conversation with you. There are hardly any mugging since everyone know each other. I suggest that you leave the shorts behind since you are going to a Muslim country unless you can brave the tirade of dhaganxaliss that will probably come your way as soon as you land. If you do not want to stand out 1) wear maxawiis and carry a bokorad 2) learn your abtariis 3) talk firm 4) learn some mahmah Oh, try and visit the villages.
  12. ^ wow, i think you are too extreme and rude amigo. If you do not agree with the post then keep your mouth shut and move on to elsewhere. I for one give a damn about anything and everything that promote moral virtues.
  13. Amna having a husband not matter how pleasing it sounds does not guarantee happiness or remove insecurities. You need to find yourself. Walaal, you hold the key to your emotions, if you want to feel giddy, full of life these are things within your control and do not have to be supplemented by others. As already mentioned, direct your energy towards something just as worthwhile but achievable. Also whenever you feel confused or low read the Quran it really does help. May Allah bless you with kheyr and a pleasing farax
  14. I don't get why the middle east companies ask for so many yrs of experience. Honestly in my field for the advertised jobs that I have seen so far they require at least 5yrs of experience as if they do not believe one can achieve that position without numerous yrs of work placement. Plus why do they not state how much pay is involved without contacting the agency or company. Surely it should be transparent and competitive.
  15. Yes, I would call their HR depts. You have nothing to lose. However I would advise you to prepare beforehand to ensure that you are articulate in your approach. You need to know the exact message you want to convey and be prepared for any qs they may ask ie finding out if they do graduate or even apprentice schemes? When are the intakes? What is their recruitment process ie just CV or interview, test etc. What learning and development do they offer etc. Also have you tried recruitment agencies?

  17. Che- I don't think your name would have much of an impact on your character. I am assuming that many parents choose a name for their infant because they like it for various reasons. Even if they genuinely believe that the particular name they chose would embody the nature of their child that is not necessarily the case. You are more likely to be shaped by your environment and belief than a mere name or date of birth.
  18. ^ Wlc. Just few pointers on this site 1. You must never apologise to anyone.They would see it as a sign of weakness rather than a genuine apology. With regard to your question 1. Establish the type of field that you wish to specialise in? 2. What type of company would you like to work for? 3. What type of knowledge and skills are they looking for? Perhaps carry out skill/knowledge gap analysis to highlight areas for improvements. 4. Search for part-time job, undertake sandwich course or voluntary work to gain those key skills 5. Go for mock interviews and test 6. Network, make yourself known to key people 7. Be patient and pray to Allah 8. Above all never lose hope, if you get rejected see it as an opportunity to improve and sharpen yourself.
  19. I would say the wedding is valid. As long as both parties consent and there is a witness then the guur is official. Having an imaan present and the blessings of your parents are a bonus but I think not compulsory. Lakiin remember family always comes first especially the love of the mother is more important and especially than that of the would-be-hubby. That is if the bond between her and her family is strong which in this case I am not sure it is.
  20. ^ i disagree with you on that point.It is possible to form a close relationship with a male without any desires from both sides. I can honestly say this because one of my very good friends is male, I have known him for long and feel no shame sharing my thoughts and feelings with him. We have a platonic yet strong friendship.
