  1. Gediid: I beg to differ.

     

    Human behaviour can be the most manipulative source of action you can think of…

    Anyone can be pushed to their limit regardless of strength of their love, because if one is determined to wreck another’s life he/she will succeed if it was “qadar”. If not, then they will pull through.

     

    As for the subject in question, this does not only take place in the Somali Community, it takes place in every community. There are good hearted people and there are not so kind hearted ones, so, just hope and pray when the times comes you will get along with your in-laws.

     

     

    Kind-heartedly

  2. Isn’t this another way of classifying social status??

     

    Upper class

    &

    Middle class

     

    This has always been an issue, the grouping of people together and placing them status within society according to the groups they belong to, is as old as society itself. Two main examples are Racial and Religious grouping. So, as far as I am concerned its education that counts at the end of the day, not your social value.

     

    However, if you look at "the rich and the poor" from Islam point of view, you will notice that ALLAH (swt) did that for a reason.

     

    "There is no envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e. religious knowledge) and he gives his decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others. (Bukhari)."

     

    Final words from me……Those who are class conscious are simply too ignorant.

     

    au revoir!

  3. Najmo & Lakkad Thanks. I am fairly new and not familiar with the type of topics that are discussed here, but I thought this would be topic that would appeal to most of us.

     

    He sounds to me like a guy who was in love with the idea of loving someone...Sort of putting a person on a pedstol without the intention of even trying to abtain them.

     

    SCORPION_SISTA

    I couldn’t agree with you more sista.

     

    Baashi

     

    I would categorically agree that we don't agree on the definition of Love.

     

    To me in order to truly love another is to go through the 3 stage development.

     

    1- Physical Attraction

    2- Mental Connection

    3- Emotional Affection

     

    If you find the person attractive you are most likely to pursue them, once you have done that you see if you both mentally connect then finally your emotional affection starts to ripen rapidly.

     

    See, is like this.

     

    You’re walking down the street and you look at a shop window, you like the way they merchandised the goods on display, so you go in and see what’s in store. If you happen to like what you see once you’re inside the store then you invest in it. If you don’t you walk out empty handed. Simple

     

    In Cilmi’s case he just had the 1st one, and as most you know that is just the tip of the iceberg, it does not mean you’re in love.


  4. “It was pure love without partner”

     

    Baashi. You seem to be contradicting yourself.

     

    How can you call it love if he didn’t even experience it? Yet you say he was delusional.

     

    You can’t possibly LOVE without going through the process with a partner. I believe love develops with time, the more time you spend with the person, the more you fall in love. Is not something you form in your mind, that’s just pure illusion.

     

    All I am saying is that a figment of ones imagination cannot establish the basis for love.

     

    No doubt he was a gifted poet and I would certainly say she was an inspiration.


  5. I can see most of you agree that he died of starvation. But wasn’t that due to his own negligence? Qadar ilaahay baa dhacay , but I mean, if he knew she had moved on with her life, why couldn’t he? You do not simply stop living because you did not get your way in life, if we all did that we would have fewer people in this world.

     

    Ameenah. I agree with you, but when you said no human being should be given that much affection, I would say the amount of affection you give should be in balance with the amount you receive. In this situation that wasn’t the case and the result was severe.

     

    In my opinion if you want something you go and get it, don’t waste your time being infatuated with things that you don’t have control of.

     

    As Jamaal-11 said

     

    “In Boodhari's poetry, it is self-evident that he was way too lazy to manifest his words into actions”

     

    Thus, Actions = Results.

    A formula which most Somalis lack when it comes to this kind of situations.

    Ama afeef hore lahow ama adkaysi danbe.

  6. My somali is not all it cracked up to be, but recently i've been trying to get into Somali Literature and I have come across this poem written by Hadraawi, one of Somalilands great poets. Have a read, certain words are little Ambiguous but soon you will ge the gist of it.

     

    Maxamad Ibrahim Warsame Hadraawi;

     

    Gabyagani wuxuu ka midyahay, gabayada tirada badan ee uu abwaanku curiyay. Gabayga magaciisa waxa la yidhaa "Hablaha Geeska Afrika".

    Gabaygu wuxuu ku bilaabmay sidan:

     

     

    Ma geyyoon ma gamashiyin ma gommodin ma gaagixin

    ma gabloobin maan gudhin mana gabin halkaygii

    gabaygiina maan deyn geeraarradaydii imminkaan

    gardaadshoo Weli maan gunaanadin

     

    Murti nimaam gunteediyo baran gogol-dhiggeedoo

    gonda degi aqoonoo garab-daar lahayn baa

    gawl-gawla hadalkoo kolba dhinac garoocdee

    sida Webi Ganaanoo cirka godollo maaloo

    biyihii ku gaaxdiyo gebiyadii kusoo degey

    ku darsday gufaaciyo gullama diriroo

    galli jabay habeenkii kolba gacan masoo rogay

     

    Qudhaciyo galoolkii gunta xididka maw jaray

    dhulka wada galaal iyo gabbalaha makaga tegey

     

    afartaa geddaydii dhaha laygu garan jirey

     

    Gurmashada dagaalkiyo gulufkiyo colaadaha

    goobaha naf waagiyo halka laysku gowroco

    marka gorodda lays daro haddaan dumarku goonyaha

    guubaabo kicinayn sida galowga dhiilloon

    illaa geesi qayrkii birta kuma gumaadeen!

    Gu´ hagaagay oo da´ay dhulka geedo jiifaan

    gurya-samo barwaaqa ah haddii geeddi lagu furo

    dhallinyaro is gurataa gurdan raaca fiidkii

    gole weyn ku kulantoo cagta garan-garkeediyo

    isu geysa jiibkoo googooska luuqdiyo

    gedda sacabka loo jaro hablahaa u gaaroo

    garashada codkoodaa qof gaboobay kicisoo

     

    gelbiskiyo mashxaraddaa gama´kaa ilaashee

    haddaan gabadhi boodeyn illaa gegi cayaareed

    wax ma dhaanto geriyaad

    Haddaan guudka laga jarin gudihiisa xaabkiyo

    cayayaanka laga gurin marwo dumar garka u xidhan

    illayn guri dahsoon maleh Gaadaha habeenkii

    kelidaa galgalashiyo ged-geddoonka dhalisoo

    adigiyo go´aagaa hadba dhinac u guuroo

    barkintaad gabbood iyo gaashaan ka dhigataa

    haddaan guud haldhaaley kolba gacan la saareyn

    illayn gogoshu wehel ma leh

     

    Kuma galo adduunyada ninna goonni-socodkoo

    marwo garasho dheer baa ninka raga u gudinoo

    iyadaa guddoonkiyo gadh-hayaa naftaadiyo

    gaadiidka reerkiyo gurgurshaaga noqotoo

    arrin kula gorfaysee haddaan gaari kula jirin

    illaa noloshu guul ma leh

     

    Go'i waa barbaareey Gobi waxay ku dhaqantaa

    Garab waxay ka dhigataa gallad waxay ku dheeftaa

    Samo waxay ku gaadhaa Gololadda haweenkee

    hiddaheena gaarka ah Hablihii gabowgiyo

    geerida ku sugi jiray

     

    hablihii garayskiyo Xidhan jiray guntiinada

    Hablihii gu' iyo dayr Sida baarqab golongolay

    Dhexda xadhig ku goyn jiray

    Hablihii garaaraha Gaatan-socodka laafyaha

    Sida gorayga ciideed Gelbin jiray tallaabada

    hablihii gun iyo baar isha gacalo-eegtaa

    gama aanay ledi jirin

     

    hablihii gammaan faras iyo geela ugubka ah

    guur doon ka bixin jiray

    hablihii Gargaariyo Guuleed ku curan jiray

    Goldaloolo iyo ceeb hablihii ka guban jiray

     

    Gebagebada sheekada Bal aan soo gunaanado

    Guddoonsiiyo jiiftada Hablo weerar geli kara

    Hablo geesi dili kara Gobonimana hanan kara

    Garta madal ka niqi kara Garashana iskaga mida

    Quruxdana ka wada gob ah

     

    Hope you enjoyed it.

  7. Cilmi Bodheri---Love or Lust??

     

    When the name Cimli Bodheri is mentioned you instantaneously think of love. Why? Because according to many somalis “love” was the cause of his untimely death. But from what I have been told (correct me if am wrong) Cilmi did not even interact (shukaansi meesha kama dhicin) with the lady he claimed to have “fallen in love with”. Apparently has seen her on many occasions. He liked the way she looked and carried herself.

     

    So my question is was he smitten by love or was it just unadulterated lust?
