Listen to this clip. It's a great reminder that this world is nothing but temporary inshallah, and that we should all strive to please Allah swt and stay away from what's prohibited. wa salaam

Honestly the story is hilarious...bt it makes no sense... How can the father be clueless? how can he nt know his wife n son died? or am I missing something and totally misunderstood the story..

Zack I already admitted by saying we are all assuming. We don't know the details of this story... enough said!

whats the chance that he was married several times? gimme a break ... Anyhow we are all assuming, You assumed the girl lied? how do you know she lied? and is that not a negative assumption? salaam

Surah An-Nur The adulterer should not marry but an adulteress or an associatoress and marry not an adulteress but an adulterer or associator, and this deed is forbidden to the believers. And those who blame chaste women, then bring not four witnesses flog them with eighty stripes and never accept any evidence of theirs, and it is they that are the dis-obedients. But those who repent thereafter act aright, undoubtedly, then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. AT-TAHRIM And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants). Al-mumenoon ( the believers) The believers must (eventually) win through,- Those who humble themselves in their prayers; Who avoid vain talk; Who are active in deeds of charity; Who abstain from sex, As you can see above sister Cynical. To be a believer equates to staying away from things that Allah swt prohibited and that includes intimate relationship before marriage. And, ofcourse Allah swt forgives and he's merciful. AAliya, as long as you know it is your human short coming and you need to work on it, rather than trying to justify or portray as the RIGHT thing. Don't worry I was the same. I never said it was the right thing to do. Merely, It's my choice and I do it because I am not of a risk taker... As for you, I wonder what changed your previous belief? Zack, actually everyone including yourself is making an assumption since we dnt really know the nature of the propblem. It's all about if this was this then this is my take. No one even knows if she lied, maybe after all she was V** and she didn't lie. salaam

Ibtisaam you are absolutely right sis. I agree with you. However, I am a human being and I know I will not be able to trust someone like that. And, if I dont trust that person then thats no healthy way to start a relationship. wa salaam

Ibtisam you're right sis. I should be able to forgive someone allah swt forgave? but how do I know he changed? allah knows whats in that guy's heart. But I don't. If i know he had one bad history I cant get myself to look beyond his history at least I dont think I can...Allah knows best!! Malika, I don't know sis. That's why I pray all the time so Allah swt will guide to the right person. And, it clearly says in the quran...good men are for good women... So I put my faith in my creator...and I know that Allah swt will look out for those who are always lookin for his guidance... salaam

well if as you said the brother use to sleep around but changed and asked for tawbah. Shouldn't he be more understanding to his wife who happens to be on the same boat as him?? really think about it??..a man who changed and asked for tawbah wouldnt divorce his wife simply because she wasnt v**? .. As for your last statement, that won't happen if my life depended on it. Anyone with tainted history is just not going to get second glance from me Cynical if someone slept around without being married? what does that make them??..and here I am talking from religious perspective. To answer your question a non v** girl who slept around without being married is not pure....sadly that's the case. And, it happens to be one of the major sins in Islam. But, of course Allah is merciful and forgives those who come back to him and repent.

Ibti lool once I heard a guy saying " waa guursaday walina dhabarka wa i xanuuna". He was actually talking to my cousin..I was just listening to their conversation hehehe faduul!! anyhow just go exercise and eat healthy... later...

Malika I didn't miss anything sis. I merely said if they are both bad..they deserve each other. And, if she's innocent then Allah swt just gave her a way out.. salaam

Duc, lool wax waalan.. Baashi she's lucky if she's god fearing sister who happens to be with the wrong guy then she's definitely without a doubt lucky. As this guy obviously was not a good man... How can a brother who slept around expect to find a clean good sister? ....that just gets to me... kualaha I been with so many v**...the guts!! salaam

Edited

I don't get it. why would they feed you last? and where is that? ..normally I would eat from non-somali restaurants where your gender doesn't matter. But, even when i do eat from somali restaurant...ha iska gacan cuslaadaan..I never seen them going hey you're lady go in that room and am gonna feed you last lol....maxa ka hadlasa... sorry, but you do need to elaborate as to where and who??....are you talking abt somali weddings? and those are either separate meaning they are feeding the boys at the morning and girls at night...or it's mixed and they are feeding everyone at the same time... please do give us details...and yes you have to do something about that ..How dare they eat before you..... Edit: now that I read it again. It seems you are talking about your household. Why don't you serve it at the same time??...or if you are serving the men first just out of respect to the guests, why don't you just make enough food for everyone....that way after you serve them you will have enough food left ....or you can always order pizza markay kuwii hunguri badnaa ka cunaan waxaad sacado karinasay maskiin..anyways I love pizza more than somali food anyday... salaam

Jazakalaah sis. I'm listening to "forgive me when I whine"..mashallah. salaam

lol@ bagistaani khamiis......

^he basically means he won't bother 2 comment on that particular question...since i dnt understand yur sawahili am assuming you asked him a personal question.... salaam

Welcome to Sol. We certainly need more ppl from Tdot... GO Tdot

I found the above comments a bit out of the line. You guys shouldn't talk ill of others. In Islam it's all about tolerating our differences. salaam

Religiously speaking she isn't suppose to go to your place nor kiss you. By the way, you do need to stop talking shit abt somali girls. At the end of the day they are your sisters/mothers. salaam.

I seen this one before....I love this clip!

^^actually u should post there and preach the brother...

^^mashallah well put. Friends do play an important role in who you are. As they say tell me your friends and I will tell you who are. So, certainly if you make good friends who love islam and love to practice it, then they will most likely remind you the time of prayers and will always be there to correct you. Rather, than say having friends who go out a lot and club, then whats the chance you will be reminded the prayer times or anything good for that matter. Inshallah lets strive to hang out w/ people who practice islam. salaam

^as mentioned by Ms DD prayer is one of the important pillars of Islam. Each prayer takes 5 minutes or less, yet people don't find the time for it. But, we have the time to be on the phone for good hour, or watch tv for an hour, and so on and so forth. Sometimes, we need to reflect on our selves and decide what's our priorities. Inshallah work on your prayer. Its also so nice of you to take your mother to haj mashallah. And, no I have never been to haj. Inshallah I will in the near future. salaam

lol walaal not only do they have 7 kids. Each guy has like three wives... But, from religious perspective you are not suppose to control how many kids you gonna have... salaam

Protocol by following the Quran and the hadiths ofcourse.. -pray on time and pray all 5 prayers -fast ramadan -pay zakat -visit the haj -feed the poor people -cover up ( and this aint just for girls, hijaab can mean a lot, it could mean have haya, gaze down etc) and so on and so forth,,,anything that will make you a better muslim. salaam
