I don't have the book on me dee. This is why I mentioned it to Blessed, maybe she can go to her local public library and scan the important parts for us.

(But the book exists and the letter is part of it).

 

p.s.

Carraghar is going nowhere.

Watch one of the videos Xiin posted in politics section where a prof talks about Somali history before islam which is beyond Hashim.. So I understand if one argues that we are from Ibrahim PUH but somalis and reer Hashim waa sheeeko kale..

I was once tempted to visit the tombs of Hassan and Hussein in Syria. Legend (maybe false) has it that Fatima .ra. is also buried there. I like visiting historic places but you can not trust a syrian cabbie who is out there to make a quick buck at your expense, and besides graves and tombs scare me so I opted not to. And there were people breathing down my throat saying WAAA DAMBI QABURAHA LAMA SIYAARTO. Who said anything about it being a religious experience. I wouldn't have beaten my head against their grave and chant mantras, gosh. I would treat it as if it was trip to the Guggenheim. Just curious!

Alpha The blue-ness of the sea is breathtaking. Awesome.

It is danbi to do sheikh hebeloow siyaaro ah but nothing wrong with visiting the resting place of loved ones

 

I am frequent visitor and find it very calming specially markaan Aduunka isku mashquuliyo. You tend to come back adigoo cabsida ilaahey aad u dareemayo

Actually, since we're talking about ancestory, history and the UAE. There is a book written by the ruler of Sharjah about a letter the Somali leaders of 1837 sent to his great grandfather (he prints a copy of the letter). In it, they ask to become part of his kingdom and call him by the title "Ameer Al Mo'meneen".

 

Interesting. I wonder what the attraction was back then? Will look for this when I get back, InshaAllah.

 

Juxa,

I was surprised and saddened to see that folks back home still held on to those jahil traditions..
