Salaan... Xariir, dankis saxiiboow. Even though when I read that story three years ago, I happened to hear that logic was originally used by a Christian, but still whoever believes in God should rejoice. Back to the topic of explaining the nature of Allah, this aayad from the Quraan always, always, always fascinated me: "Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as {if there were} a niche and within it a lamp: the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east {i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning} nor of the west {i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long}, whose oil would almost glow forth {of itself}, though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankid, and Allah is All-Knower of everything." {24:35, Suura Al-Nuur} Yaa Allaah!! Subxaanallaah!! Only Allah {s.w.c.} can describe Himself fully. And yes, the aayad concludes that "Allah sets forth parables for mankind..." Allah {s.w.c.} tries best, but our limited mind couldn't reach that Realm of Allah. _______________ Macsalaama!!

Salaan... Duqa, first welkam oo isbarmuuto ii cab, instead of a cup of Vodka. And I am sorry for the tragedy that a family member had been killed. Ilaahey ha u naxariisto: Aamiin!! Now, old excuses never die. Even Gaaladii aa dhaheyso saan: Drinking alcohol to ease depression: This not only reduces the effectiveness of many of the medications you may be taking, but alcohol is a depressant that will make the depression deeper and last longer. Alcohol will rob your body of nutrients that are important for good physical and mental health, and impair your judgment. Drinking to ease the pain can only spell disaster. From a counselling site on the net. Marka, saxiiboow, whether your wife left, your brother imprisoned, or any other person you treasure passed away, nothing justifies that you drink Qamro. Even, say, if the whole world collapses on your head, qamro would remain xaraan. That is the way it is. Marka, as even gaaladii did realize that it doesn't ease pain or depression, why would you make yourself more depressed? Baliis, read the Quraanka Kariimka. And seek a professional help--whether from wadaado, a family member, or even those so-called professional counsellors. _______________ Macsalaama!!

Salaan... Gediid: No one said 'Reer Nugaal wrote af Soomaali.' See camaleeto waraa. I said Siyaad Barre introduced the writen Soomaali, and thus he was from Nugaal OR SOOMAALI GALBEED {same as they speak same dialect}. So he had a great influence. Illmatic: Kaaba, nah. Run lee sheegaayi. Yes, we might have agreed its 'familiarity' among Soomaalis to use that standard Soomaali. But, I never thought that 'stardard' Soomaali originated from Nugaal. I always believed it was Mudug, precisely Gaalkacyo area. And I am not from this region, so I am fair. I don't know why brother Muraad is a bit mad. Muraad: Raali iyo nuskiis hadii si kale u qaadatey. :cool: I thought you got my irrelevant 'joke.' Anyway, I just thought to disagree your way of saying Nugaal has the standard Soomaali. As I said, I always thought the standard Soomaali came from Gaalkacyo area, minus its heavily dialectical. Again, I don't know your defination of 'standard' that believing this region you mention has no 'dialect.' What is dialect? I thought it was some words spoken in some regions that couldn't be understood in another region that spoke same language. And, kamoon, tell me that part of the region has full words we who came from some other parts of the country couldn't grasp, let alone understand. So, isn't that a dialect? Or you are saying THEIR DIALECT is a 'pure' Soomaali??? I am just disagreeing you, ee si kale ha u qaadan saxiiboow. Jaluut: FYI, Maxamed Siyaad did not exactly come from Nugaal region. I know that. What I said was 'its vicinity.' What I meant roughly was he spoke the dialect Reer Nugaal speak. We all know Siyaad was born and bred in Soomaali Galbeed. Libaax, I know. Remember I said 'ITS VICINITY,' which I roughly meant that whole area. __________________ Soon Wanaagsan!!

Salaan... it's NUGAAL region, anyone thinks different can come forward with his/her proofs Muraad, LoooooL. Kaaba waa is caariftee. You could easily have said I am a Reer Nugaal. No need to say far. I do not agree with you with this, brother. Why? See, as you said, that there is no original Soomaali, so there is also, using your logic, no 'standard' Soomaali. If there is an original one, then there must also be a standard. Simple. That supposedly 'standard' Soomaali you see used basicly in, mostly, by newspapers, radios, and other medium communications is that because of Maxamed Siyaad Barre. Supposedly, Nugaal or its vicity as a region was where he was from. And as he was in power when Soomaali writing was introduced, he with his power said so that is the way the 'standard' Soomaali should be. Or else!!! So, it is not about that region produced Sayid Max'ed C/lle Xasan or any poets, or any other viable reason. Simply it was Siyaad Barre's unmatched influence, and that's the way it became. I can also say this is the STANDARD Soomaali, "Doogaan hooba kasaasa....dheegtey ma'ahaa??" :cool: Ninba afkiis aala quman dheh. Mise 'standard' la eh. _______________ Soon Wanaagsan!!

Salaan... Nasra, see waaye walashiis. Saan dhab mee kaa tahey, mise fara ka ciyaar waaye oo dhiigeen inaa kicisaa rabtaa??? Kamoon. Soomaali waala wada yahey ee tartiibso walashiis. I will refute your reasoning. Quote and unquote from your second post. Originally posted by Nasra: First of all we are uncivilised nation, Our litercay rate is low and that explains the troubles caused within our communities Siyaad Barre started in '72 a campaign called bar ama baro. And it worked. Within short period, a population that had zero literacy in af Soomaali came to have known to have 30% literacy rate!! That is a fact. Have you noticed that most nations have tribes such as the asians ppl...american indias ppl...just to name a few! yet we are the only nation who die for tribe and wipe each other due to this fact Really??? You are not telling me in Afghanistan. In Sri Lanka. In Ireland. In Bosnia. In Mexico. Whether you call these as a tribal struggle or as a religious, they are all same. And Afghanistan is exactly like us. So we are not at least alone. And now we have moved on and yet tribe issues are disscussed and we still have racist people(triblism people)who are continuing what we have left back home Yep, and true, we have people like them. And they are among us. We are doing our best to eradicate this portion among us. But, what views do the MAJORITY in this Qurba hold? Are they qabiiliste also??? You tell us. We tend to be more selfish then other nations we are greedy and selffish I think you need to go to the nearest Soomaali maqaayad, and report back to us. Baliis while there observe keenly who pays when there is a group or two people. Soomaalis are the only culture I had seen that it became literally an obligation that when two Soomaali people or more are together and went to a maqaayad, it became as though being so waajib that always one person pays for all. Waaba la isku dagalaa even. "Anaa bixinaaayo!" "Walaahi, anaa bixinaayi, kaama yeeli..." :cool: Ii sheeg meel kale aa ku aragtid waxaas. Oh, you said you DO NOT live where Soomaalis live. That is the mighty reason. We gossip and jump to other people bussiness and make judgments that are not neccessary. We are more competive with each other which also get's personal and out of hand. Don't get me wrong competion is very healthy Who doesn't gossip? Ii sheeg bo. The last time I knew even George W. Bush was gossiping, and his mike caught him publicly that insulting a New York Times reporter. Remember that episode. No one is immune to gossip. One person's problem is one person's happiness... Your happiness of being proud to be a Soomaali is our happiness too. We also tend to fight with each other physically and verbally which is not neccassary Who doesn't fight. The whole world is fighting. Yes, physically and verbally. Listen to Bin Ladin. Listen to Blair. Listen Castro. Just watch Al-Jasiira, and you will see who isn't fighting and who is. Oh, if you mean a personal fighting, Soomaali caadideeda waaye. We have our own proverb of it called, "I jiid ama haku jiido gacmo daalis lee maahinoo" We see old ladies gossping while they suppose be preparing for end of there lives.... Gossiping whether old or young is xaraan. And bad. But, if you think it is only our elders who gossip, just give a visit to churches. You see old ladies who should be worshipping instead gossipping like a... See, it is not only us. I gave you as an example of this because all people of all ways of life gossip. I and you too. And by the way, WE too should prepare the END of our days. i mean the list goes on...and thank allah i don't live near somalian people...I can't live with somalians and i can't live with out somalians Walaahi????? I thought being a part of somaliaonline.com forum and having a nomad title was to LIVE among us. Don't you agree??? Yeah, you do since you said you can't also live without Soomaali people. But one thing i have noticed is that we are SO DIFFERENT and trouble makers, comparing to other nations Do we bother other nations. We used proud to live in Soomaaliya before this qub-qash-qac thing started. And we sure will once again be proud to live in Soomaaliya as peaceful as we used to be. Just give us a time. And, p.s., the country you reside waa soo martey this 'trouble.' And yes, and true, that we are SOOO DIFFERENT. Reason: ONE NATION. ONE PEOPLE. ONE FAITH. ONE LUUQAD. ONE DHAQAN. What else do you ask for???? Kamoooon. _________________ Macsalaama!!

And forget about a government that has Morgan, Qanyare, Gaani, Madoowe, Jees, Caato, Yalaxoow, Finish, Xaabsade, Gabyoow, Jaamac, etc, etc. I would rather wish to keep the status quo than having those above mentioned and some others who currently are gathering Ceel Duureed to be the members of the next effective government Soomaaliya would have. I lost all hope with those warlords and their minions. The only man I would crown the president, the prime minister, the all-main posts in any government Soomaaliya would have would like to be Mawliid Macaane. Soomaalis are finally realizing that it is about time that Jareer and other minorities lead us--US BEING THOSE WHO BELONG THE FOUR TRADITIONAL SOOMAALI CLANS--all the way. ________________ Ah, where are our ugaases, imaams, suldaans, malaaqs, etc???
