Imam refuses to perform salat-l-janazah on deceased

[Che -Guevara]

Imaam Diiday inuu marxuum somali ah ku tukado

[The Zack]

I was there, it wasn't very good scene.

[Gheelle.T]

I heard of it yesterday and thought it was just a coffee shop talk. How did the saga end? Will watch the vid later.

[The Zack]

Gheelle, another imaam ended up leading the janazah prayer after a long dispute between the imams and the deceased's family but the whole thing was just horrible. The first imam pretty much anounced everybody in the mosque that they will not perform a janaazah prayer for this person because they have been informed that "the deceased used to not pray, wasn't religious, and changed his name to an American name" from a reliable source. The family literally fought at the mosque, then finally two gentlemen stated that they have seen the deceased praying during the last few days of his life.

[LayZie G.]

The prayer leader should be forced to resign or he should be forced out by the Masjid administrators for the following reasons:

 

1)He relied on hearsay, namely "Waxa la yidhi deceased never prayed"

 

2) Prayer leader said, "I, the prayer leader, demanded that someone to step up to refute the allegations made against the deceased by the waxa la yidhi crowd. WAxa la yidhi crowd are muslims (they are tiqa) but deceased was not a Muslim"?

 

3) The prayer leader is not fit to lead a prayer, nor should he be in a leadership position, where he will come in contact with young people, thereby passing his twisted views onto the youngers.

 

4) Prayer leader played God in the house of Allah.

 

5) In the interview, he said he got calls from all over the country, advising him, prayer leader that the deceased gaal ayuu ahaa, therefore he should not die a Muslim but as a gaal. Prayer Leader swore in the name of Allah that he did nothing wrong, just followed procedure. Now, as a prayer leader, when you fabricate a story about people calling you from all over the country just to voice their objection of nin weyn, who, the prayer leader admitted to saying was ill and hospitalized for a very long time, for him to make up a story that people would take time to call a prayer leader from another state just to object a gaal from being buried as a Muslim? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever yet he swore in the name of allah.

 

6) This is just in: Waxa la yidhi crowd just wired this news: "The prayer leader is a self confessed Gaal" by waxa la yidhi crowd.

 

SHAME ON YOU PRAYER LEADER....may you die a slow death

 

favourite quote from the interview: "If you do not pray, you are not a MUSLIM, gaal yahow Gaalka dhalay..." Prayer leader

[Gheelle.T]

^Zack, who were the reliable sources though? I am still baffled why would the Imam of the Mosque wants to know if the deceased prayed or not.

[The Zack]

Gheelle, per the imam, the reliable sources were religious men who were relatives to the deceased and there is some truth to that, the only problem is how he announced it to everybody. He could've asked the family to meet him in a private room to discuss the matter.

[Gheelle.T]

What was the truth to the issue? Ninka ma gaal nimaa lagu xaman jiray?

[The Zack]

Gheele, since the person has already passed away I don't want to go to details on this but he has never publicly denounced islam. Ninku muslinimada si cad ugama bixin lakin waa run magaca wuu baddashay.

[The Zack]

Sheekhuse wuu khaldamay.

[Gheelle.T]

Illaahay ha u naxariisto who ever he was. And I hope this doesn't become a trend for the Masjid and for the Imam.

[Gheelle.T]

Reminds me of wadaad meher sameeynaayay. And minute before the ceremony kicked off, start asking the guy(groom to be) crazy questions; like if the guy prays or had premarital intercourse. Yarkii iyo odayaddiiba yax yax baa ka soo wada haray. Bal adba!

[The Zack]

Loool@pre-martial intercourse. Wadaad waalan buu ahaa kaas walee.

[Chocolate and Honey]

LOl@ "premarital intercourse." If Somali people who had "it" couldnt marry each other, we'd be in great trouble as the trend is to knock up the woman and hurry down the iasle.
