^tnx Max. Inshallah!

^^thanks for the motivation. I need it

Just came out from an exam and I think I made few unnecessary mistakes.Soo frustrated

Che hadalada qaar waa la fasira, dadku horay uma fahmaan ilaa ay luqada sida aniga u yaqanaan moyaane

lol somaalida beenta ayaa lugu yaqaan. I hope they learn from these type of stories. The picture of the lady just cracks me up subhanalah. I know its such a sad state for our people to go around nd make up stories to make money.I just can't help bt have a laugh....somali waxay ku maahmaahda war jira cakaaru imaan..which basically means the truth will come out sooner than later. Ilaahay dadkeena ha tuso xaqa. ameen salaam

I was told an indian family from the same neighborhood rejected to be interviewed by the Sun. So yeah makes all of us wonder why this man allowed his privacy to be invaded? we will never know? will we? but he didn't do anything out of ordinary. The house was given to him by the government right? like he didn't steal the house? he and his family are like 1000s of other somalis who live off other people's money. Some do it out of necessity others are just used to it lol....so yeah talow what was he thinking when he put his personal life out there?...maybe they paid him ...laakin lacag sharaftaada talow ma siisan laheed??!! But, hopefully this story will shed some light on somalis and how they conduct themselves and you know maybe the government will have a second thought before he puts them on welfare. Like double check if its necessary like they are unfit to work and what not....bt this man looks healthy to me and fit. He should be working. I definitely don't mind single moms with 10kids to be assisted by the government...bt men should work and provide for their families. salaam

I think most somalis are on the same boat as Nasra.Its unfortunate!

Congrats Koolkat. Ilaahay haga dhigo tii umaadeydi iyo dadkeedaba wax tarta oo waalidkeedana u dadaaasha. Ameen. salaam

Eid mubarak folks. Hope you all have a good time inshallah. Axmed Rashaad was our shiikh and Imaam in Ottawa and we will miss him dearly.. he was a leader in our community and always tried his best to help his community....ilaahoo ajar kasii oo janada ka waraabi... Tuujiye yeah I was told he build one of the biggest mosques in Ottawa. Inshallah Allah swt will reward him for his good efforts and have mercy on his soul. Allah yarhamhu. am all teary, he was one of my favourite shiekhs.

May Allah swt have mercy on his soul and shower his mercy on him. Ameen..... Good video to watch and reflect. Reminding us that we are all heading there..sooner or later..its all a matter of time. Where are we going - Khalid yasin

^^Well put. I couldn't have agreed more.

Ending her talk show after a quarter-century "feels right in my bones and right in my spirit," Oprah Winfrey told her studio audience at the end of the taping of Friday's show. Oprah, one of the most powerful women in the world, had promised a statement Friday after news broke Thursday that she was pulling the plug on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011. "It's exactly the right time," she said, at times tearful. "For some of you long-time Oprah viewers, you have literally grown up with me. You have your family and you raised your children and you left a spot for me in your morning and afternoon." But the 55-year-old entertainer's inspirational message, like her media empire, will just keep expanding, a message on www.oprah.com said Friday afternoon. A link from the site to her next venture, the cable Oprah Winfrey Network, or OWN, declared: "For an hour a day, she's been bringing `live your best life' television right into your living room. Well now it's time for what's next. Not just what's next for Oprah, but what's next for you. The Oprah Winfrey Network will be a 24/7 cable network devoted to self-discovery, to connecting you to your best self and to the world. Oprah will be with us every day. She's the life force of OWN." The network will launch in January 2011, and a number of executives from her daily TV show have already signed on to the new venture, according to www.oprah.com. In the hours that followed Thursday's disclosure, industry watchers bemoaned the end of an era and speculated about whether a supremely savvy businesswoman's decision would work to take her star power and brand from the mainstream TV milieu that created her into a more nimble niche that is entirely her own. Her decision "will have a ripple effect through the TV industry," industry watcher Joe Flint reported on his blog at the Los Angeles Times. "Winfrey is making the decision that she can make more money and build her brand better on cable ... A few years ago that would have seemed unthinkable, but it is clear that the greater value lies in the broadband medium," Flint wrote. "Winfrey herself may be a loser because odds are that, at least in the short-term, she will take a financial hit by abandoning daytime talk – although, of course, in the long term she is building an asset that could have tremendous value." The big winners, Flint wrote, are Discovery Communications, her partner on the Oprah Winfrey Network, as well as Ellen DeGeneres and Warner Bros., "which will no longer have to compete against Winfrey in daytime." The losers, he said, include CBS, which is losing hundreds of millions of fans, along with the revenue they attract and the spillover to local programming. "Winfrey was boisterous and enthusiastic and endeared herself to her audience and guests," Flint said. "She was able to woo political leaders and movie stars to her couch and at the same time dip into the more tawdry topics that have also become a staple of TV without soiling her own reputation." On the Broadcast&Cable website, Mark Toney, senior vice-president at consultancy SmithGeiger, said he anticipated that once stations are free of "the shackles of pricey syndicated programming," they will experiment with local content, including news and entertainment. "But it's truly the end of a huge era," he said. "There'll be a sense of, `Man, we had a great run.'"

^^^possibly he was not Somali but "iskadhal" mixed...many mixed ppl sort of look Somalis. And, possibly he was a convert who believes he shouldn't pray in Arabic and that Allah swt will understand him regardless of what language he prays with...sadly whoever said take him to mental institution needs to recheck his values as a Muslim?? who is he to judge people that fast? and whether he prays in Arabic or Somali or English? its his choice right? you can advice him definitely but thats where it ends.

Norf you got it right. At first when my friend showed me the first pic and said what do you see? I knew there was more to it than an old man and old women, like why else would she ask? lol But somehow my mind was soo stuck at the first image that was perceived ....and I kept looking at it for good 6 minutes till I saw the two young ppl and burst out laughing....just shows how hard it is to see beyond of what you see at first... Ismahaan lol adna ma ku dhibtooday the second image...its weird I know bt norf got it right....old man and a lady readin'... Dabshid loooooooooooool I saw the pretty lady...and I was like what this other guy yapping abt? I dnt see an old lady...then I looked closer and subhanalah it freaked me out as soon as I saw the old lady. oh man I love these optical illusions here's my third image that didn't come out on my first post.. give it a shot... salaam
