    Identity

    Alhamdulillaahi rabil-'aalameen, was-salaatu was-salaamu 'ala nabeeyinaa muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa ashaabihi wa man tabi'ahum bi ihsaanin ila yawmid-deen, amma b'ad Salaamu Alaikum, First of all, may i take this opportunity to welcome a new fellow nomad. I hope your time with us if full of blissful memories. The answer is Muslim ofcourse - Alhamdulilah. In the name of Allah I was born In the name of Allah I live and In the name of Allah I die (Insha Allah). All praise due to Allah for guiding us to Al Islam and giving us iiman, Quran, rixamata lil caalamiin [The Prophet (SAW)] and all other blessings (nimcada) bestowed upon us. 1. Somali nationality does not denote any significant principles to me merely similitude of a label on a jeans with the purpose of distinguishing from other makes of jeans. In the same way being somali differentiates myself from other nationalities of the human race in that we may recognise each other and appreciate the variety of culture and creation. The world would a dull place if everyone possesed the same colour,features and nationality. 2. Nationality has no other purpose than the abovementioned and cannot gurantee success nor dignity. We are often reminded not to prejudge others in terms of colour and place of origin since no single individual ever chooses the place one decends from it is all a matter of decree manifestation. If one wishes to utilise nationalism to rank him or herself above others then one would suffer from inferior complexity. We are reminded in a hadith translated roughly from the interpretation of the true arabic meanings: " An Arab is not better than a Non-Arab and A black is not better than a Non-Black except in Taqwa (Fear of Allah).." Islam has taught us we Ummah are one and we are equal. Just take a look at the Hajj where you have 1 to 2 million people performing pilgrimage to the house of Allah. Many races, nationalities men and women all believers and equal in status regardless of where they are from. W/Salaam,

  7. Salaamu Alaikum, There is no doubt Israel benefited from the sept 11 atrocities as they use this as a cover to kill and terrorise the palestinians and further expand the occupation projects and increase Zionist jewish settlements. The very low death toll of 130 suggested that a number of Israelis at the Trade Center had been warned before the attack. When I found out the truth that only one Israeli had died, there could be no doubt that there had been a prior warning for many Israelis. Having only one Israeli casualty among the 4500 dead at the WTC is simply a statistical impossibility. Even if the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Jerusalem Post had grossly overestimated the number of Israelis in the World Trade Center by say 3,000 (400 percent), there still should have still been 1,000 Israelis there at the time of the attacks. Again, even if only a few hundred Israelis were present at the time of the attack, only one Israeli death occurring there is statistically absurd. Either September 11 had to be a big Jewish holiday, or a number of Israeli citizens had some advance warning of the impending attack. Those nationalities that died or missing after 911 The above if for me conculisive evidence Israel benefited from 911 and had prior knowledge before the attacks hence explaining low Jewish death tolls. Insha Allah one day we shall find out who were responsible. I hope Allah humiliates the Jews in Israel and all those who support them in a tormentful fire and help us Muslims to free Al Quds and the rest of Palestine - Ameen. Long live the intifada W/Salaam,

  9. Alhamdulillaahi rabil-'aalameen, was-salaatu was-salaamu 'ala nabeeyinaa muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa ashaabihi wa man tabi'ahum bi ihsaanin ila yawmid-deen, amma b'ad Salaamu Alaikum, Excellent answer to the question. May Allah help us to increase in knowledge and wisdom - Ameen. The problem with gaalada is that they have ignored the signs of God through arrogance and pride. When you mention God no one wants to know. They all want to have fun accrue materialistic gains and hence live life to the max even though they are really living a miserable life filled with inequity and social diseases. But we all know buying stuff does not make people happy for example if one makes a million he would want to make another and another and if one consumes goods he wants more and more so they are never happy. The old enlglish word for consumer was the devil :eek: why ??? because this desire to consume more and more will itself consume you you will never find happiness in consuming stuff it was never stuff ! it will be never be stuff that satisfies the heart only the dikr of Allah puts the heart at a state of tranquility. The Prophet said in a rough translation of a well known Hadith: "..Give the Son of Adam a valley of gold and he shall desire for another.." It is very clear in the world today most people billions and billions believe in God but they have the wrong concept of God some of them use idols and others use humans besides God All-mighty. These people are following their Hawa (evil and corrupted desires) and do not possess real knowledge about the oneness of God All-Mighty they have made themselves losers in this life and in the here-after. " Say (O Muhammed (SAW) ) Allah is One." W/Salaam,

  11. Salaamu Alaikum, Both individually and collectively, the Palestinians have spent the last 54 years being robbed, raped, killed, and ethnically cleansed. But none of this makes it right to kill Israeli civilians, and even if it did, practicality would have to rule out such a strategy for the simple reason that it would still be a propaganda disaster for a people who can ill-afford to be portrayed as violent and/or hateful. Pathetic ! Pathetic ! Pathetic ! Do not rely on the kufaar they are the ones who started the problem the british established israel in 1948 with the help of usa and now we Muslims are looking to these infidels for help instead of asking Allah. All we need to do is work on ourselves (Jihadul nafs) and then Allah will help us because Allah does not help you unless we change our condition (become true Muslims and slaves). The victory is guranteed to the Muslims and Insha Allah Palestine will soon be liberated through Jihad like aforetime when Salahu Udin Ayubi liberated and defeated the crusaders. There only solution is Jihad (Defence): "....wa tujaahidiina fii sabiililaah..." "....and struggle (jhaad) for the sake of Allah ..." I ask every palestinian father and mother get busy in bed because the Muslims in palestine need to keep producing children (bi idni Allah) who will defend the Holy Land of Al Quds and the rest of Palestine. Wa Bilahi Tawfiq, Mujahid
  12. Salaamu Alaikum, Nice article but some people have commited bidca and take sufism to a different level. I saw documentaries once on BBC and Channel 4 in England of mainly asian suffis doing a lot bidca singing and dancing and men and women were sitting in circles holding hands and meditating. Some suffi mosques in India are open to Muslim and Non-Muslim this is rather absurd. W/Salaam, Mujahid over and out !
  13. Salaamu Alaikum, Interesting articles of Ibn Taymiyah' works one of the mightest scholars of Islam. All Muslims should follow the path of such scholars and work on themselves by undertaking Jihadul Nafs to reduce our sins and repent and increase the axsanu camala (good deeds). Keep up the Jihaad... W/Salaam,
  14. Salaamu Alaikum, MMA this is good to hear but a wadaad gar dheere sitting next to a canbaro with tight jeans and tight shirt exposing her gifts to every faraax in a stadium this is rather surprising :eek: I hope that wadaad was not our online friend or there is will have been world war sadex Secondly, can you please inform me of how well did my boys do ? those wearing three lions on a shirt !!! what you still do not get me i mean the faraaxiinta from England ----------- Ta Ta Tatata England ! Ta Ta Tatata England ! Ta Ta Tatata England ! Ta Ta Tatata England ! Ta Ta Tatata England ! Come on English faraaxiinta
  15. Salaamu Alaikum, Al-Jazeera ofcourse "the truth hurts" and i also like some of the news broadcasters The Quranic recitation of these two Makkah Imams: 1. Sacuudu Shuraim or 2. Abduraxmaan Sudaisi W/Salaam, Mujahid over and out !
  16. Salaamu Alaikum, Daytime ofcourse I am not a creature of the nights ! Make important decisions for yourself or Allow others like parents to make important decisions for you ? MJ
  17. Salaamu Alaikum, 1. Either Male or Female 2. Either Male or Female 3. Either Male or Female 4. Either Male or Female The reasons why: 1. Depends on how strong the love is and whether love is the true emotion being felt or merely lust which itself is temporary. 2. Money cannot buy Imaan,health and happiness so if one is happy with the patner money is not a paramount factor. 3. Status is in the eye of the beholder. Is status important ? Yes and NO. No because if one learns to respect others will also show respect. Yes because of family tradition and to maintain the name and dignity. 4. But the $64,000 question is what are your priorities ? Love for poorer or richer or unhappy relationship for money ? The answer for me is I rather be happily married in love with 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 women who are poor than marry for status, wealth and social acceptance. W/Salaam, Mujahid the Pro-Polygamist over and out !
  18. Salaamu Alaikum, Excellent Story I hope we all take lessons from this and every death. For surely every soul shall taste death prepare now or if not prepare to fail. W.Salaam, Mujahid
  19. Salaamu Alaikum, 1. Somalia is a Muslim country and even though Muslim countries have many problems one thing we are not is backward as we are umatul waaxida ukhrijat li naas meaning we Muslims are the best nation to ever be raised amongst mankind. 2. I bet you the lady herself does not fully comprehend the term backwardness the definition used is dependent on societies' values and we are all well aware we do not share the same values for example western values are different to ours. 3. Somalia has many issues which God-Willingly will be sorted there is no need to call our country backward otherwise this would imply all somalis are backward and nothing is further away from the truth. We somalis are getting better and would Insha Allah return to our former glory if we can adopt Al-Islam fully in our personal lives. Wa Bilahi Tawfiq, Mujahid.
  20. Salaamu Alaikum, Thanks Amatullah. The story of Yusuf is a story full of lessons many people I know love this sura but do they take lessons from it ? If you ponder on it you will see many themes and lessons of life are given in this story but the most fundamental is patience and taqwa. Yusuf (AS) kept patience when he was in prison when he got wrongfully accused and so did his father Yacquub (AS) when he was told his sons Yusuf (AS) and Benjamin were lost. Both Prophets showed taqwa as they fully trusted in Allah in all their affairs during their bad times and at the end were rewarded when Allah established Yusuf (AS) in the land and made him Minister of Finance and re-united all his family when they did a sujuud as Yusuf initally saw in his dream the Moon and Sun (Mother and Father) and 11 stars (11 sons of Yacquub)prostrating: " Alif Laam Raa Tilka aayatul kitaabil mubiin." " Inaa anzalnaahu Qur'anan carabiyan lacalakum tacqiluun." " Naxnu naqusu calayka axsanal qasasi bimaa awxaynaa ilayka haadal Qur'an wa in kunta min qablihi laminal qaafiliin. " " Id qaala yusufu li abiihi yaa abati ini ra aytu axada cashara kawkaba wa shamsa wal qamara ra ay tuhum lii saajidiin " " Qaala ya bunaya la taqsus ruyaa aka calaa ikhwatika faya kiidu laka kayda ina shaydana lil insaani caduwun mubiin." " Wa kadaalika yajtabiika rabuka wayu calimuka min ta wiilil axaadith wa yutimu nicmatahu calayka wa calaa aali yacquuba kamaa atamahaa calaa abawayka min qablu ibraahiima wa isxaaqa ina rabaka caliimun xakiim."

    Prayer

    Salaamu Alaikum, Excellent reminder absolutely mesmeric article echoing numerous lessons for one's prayer. May Allah help us all to fulfill the 5 daily prayers till our death, Ameen. Barak Allahu Fiih, W/Salaam, Mujahid
  22. Alhamdulillaahi rabil-'aalameen, was-salaatu was-salaamu 'ala nabeeyinaa muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa ashaabihi wa man tabi'ahum bi ihsaanin ila yawmid-deen, amma b'ad Salaamu Alaikum, Moderate Muslim or Extermist or Fundamentalist are concutted by the west to divide Muslims into opposing groups. As Petite states one is either Muslim or Non-Muslim and there is no middle ground. The West knows itself that it can never defeat Muslims and their ideologies unless Muslims disunite so they attempt and they propogate plans to achieve their desired outcomes. Allah the All-Wise has taught us in the Noble Qur'an: " Wa laa tardhaa cankal yahuud wala nasaara xataa tatabica milatahum." " Never will the yahud (jews) or the nasaara (christians) be happy with you unless you follow their millah (their religion or way)" W/Salaam, Mujahid over and out !

    Polygamy

    Salaamu Alaikum Yacquub, I agree as usual with you my fellow nobleman. You know the Surah that starts with yaa ayuhal nabiyu lima tuxarimu maa axala lahu laka tabtaqii mardaata azwaajik walahu qafuuru raxiim... (Surah Taxarim) Allah gives the revelation due to the Prophet's wives making an error to correct them and warn them of their error : " Casaa rabahuu in dalaqakuna an yubdilhu azwaajan khairan minkuna muslimaatin muminaatin qaanitaatin caabidaatin saa'ixaatin thaa'ibaatin wa abkaara." So my brother you are right women are emotional and do make emotional errors but there is no point in being jealous. W/Salaam, Mujahid over and out ! P.S. Please use capital A for Allah to show respect to the One Above.
  24. Salaamu 3laikum, Thanks Buubto as usual your articles are deeply enlightening and gratifying. May Allah put love into our hearts for each other - ameen. Buubto may Allah reward you for your good actions - ameen. W/Salaam, Mujahid over and out !

    Polygamy

    Alhamdulillaahi rabil-'aalameen, was-salaatu was-salaamu 'ala nabeeyinaa muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa ashaabihi wa man tabi'ahum bi ihsaanin ila yawmid-deen, amma b'ad Salaamu Alaikum, I quote from an anonymous nomad: Iam totally against. I mean if some other people are okay with, that's them but i can't deal with it. first of all i get jealous and just knowing that my husband had sex with three other female would make me real sick!lol. i could even get disease in that. it is nasty. Looking at the above quoted remarks my fellow nomadic learned brothers and sisters we can crystal-clearly view the composer as using emotional gratuitous approach. Please ponder on these simple notions: 1. Your Opinion is irrelevant as we are not discussing whether polygamy is allowed or not since the answer is already provided in the Holy Book. Are you trying to challenge the Holy Book ? Are you trying to challenge a decreed matter ? Are you using bounded rationality to challenge God's law ? Do you claim to know better ? God forbid this. 2. One of the facts Islam teaches us is that only Allah is the Law-Giver. Mankind cannot disperse laws unto themselves because mankind has bounded rationality - limited intellectual capability and comprehension. Mankind cannot know every solution to every problem. Mankind is full of faults. Mankind is weak and haste. Mankind is unjust and biased. Where as God All-Mighty is perfect in every sense and the Creator knows better than the creation. Hence submitt to the One that is All-Knowing All-Wise. 3. Polygamy is permissible whether one likes it or not due to women out-numbering men. If the composer wishes to adopt an anti-polygamy viewpoint perhaps take steps to learn about polygamy and how it functions rather sublimely in numerous situations. Knowledge will dilute unwarranted emotion and immune oneself from biased opinions. The Quran teaches us: "...marry women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one that your right hands possess..." (Quran, 4:3) 4. The composer expressed jealousy at the prospect of their future patner perhaps marrying more than one wife up to maximum of four. Jealousy is a disease of the heart and one must try to remove it by loving for others what he loves for himself. The Prophet (SAW) said in a sahiih hadith the rough translation of the original arabic meanings: " No one will enter Jannah until they are a believer and no one is really a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." " The believer is like a mirror for his brother if he sees faults in his brother he shall try and correct them and vice versa." 5. The composer implies that they might catch disease as the result of polygamy, nothing can be further away from the truth. The chance of sexual transmitted diseases are reduced in a polygamy to almost zero probability as a consequence of the women and the man not entering external relationships and are confined whole-heartedly to the polygamy. Take this hypothetical situation into account, there is a sister who is lonely has'nt got a man in her life she will try desperately to hook a man illegally by sleeping around different men this would increase the chances of her contractig STD'S. On the contrary a sister who is part of a polygamy sleeps with one husband she shares with 1 or 2 or 3 other women and this would free her from std's as she can satisfy her sexual needs in a halal way. 6. Finally, I strongly advice people to learn more about polygamy and stop debating about it without solid knowledge of the topic as at the end of the day it is halal and Allah has commanded us to enjoin the good (for example Polygamy) and forbid the evil (for example dating without the intention of marriage and Zina). I hope my humble efforts are rewardful and whatever correct thing I have said comes from Allah and whatever mistake I have made comes from own faults and Allah knows best. Subhanaka- Allahuma wabi h'amdika wa ash-hadu an-la ilaaha ilaa Ant astaghfuruka wa atubu ilaik W/Salaam, Mujahid over out !
