Nameless Sheikha Yes sister, Nur and Br. Nur are both me, reason is that I first registered as Nur, back in 0ctober 21, 2001، However, I was away for a long period fighting Keyboard Forum battles at Somalinet, after receiving a PM from sister Rahma a SOL Namad to rejoin SOL, I decided to come back, but I forgot my password, so I created a new Screen name, Br. Nur, afterwards, admins restored my old Nur, and I switched back on Nur. I no longer use Br, Nur screen name anymore for new posts, I was just reposting old posts from 2003. Hodman JZK for your Duaa, your sincere duaa is my inspiration to keep active on site. Nur /Br. Nur

Sahal Bro For sure, " Lasta la'iiman, yaa akii, bal naxsabuka minal kuramaa, walaa nuzakii calaa Allahi axad" Brother Mohamed asked : " Brother i wanted to ask you about reading the translation of the Quran. Are the hasanaat the same if you read the translation instead of the Arabic?" Mohamed Answer: No doubt that any good deed earns you a hasanah credit, including intentions, however when it comes to reading Quraan, the hasanaat are serving as an incentive to hook you to get Allahs message in its purity and clarity. As you know, a translation is a human interpretaion of Allahs words, not Allahs exact words, so reading human words do not earn us the hasanaat reserved as an incentive for reading the Quraan, because if the credit is given to reading a translation, people will not be encouraged to learn Quraan in its original form, the Arabic language, which is a very important requirement for every Muslim. So that brings us to an important question, does learning Arabic language as a means to read and understand Quraan in its original form earns me a hasnah? , I believe yes, a hadeeth says that deeds are appraised the same as the intentions that drive them, so my advice is in the short term, continue reading the Quraan in English but to bag the hasanah, start learning Arabic today.

Kaafi, Raxmah and Bahjaali Nomads The above page deserves a revisiting of that distant 1997 when I wrote the article, it was days filled with reflecftion and search for my maker, I envisonioned my self as the continuation of Adam, as i carry his seed (gene) in me, the good (Abel) and the bad ( Cain) and then, left on earth for a purpose, given a challenge in the form of an arch enemy called Satan as distraction as a test for me to find my way back to home again ( Paradise) A thourogh knowledge of the old and knew testaments ( I was a regulat member of a Christian muslim debate group ) in addition to my study of all the deviant groups in islam helped me sort out priorities and focus on the single most imnportant issue that guarantees our delivery, the ellusive concept of Towheed and Shirk, once understood, one can not be fooled, as it is the bedrock of criterion between truth and falshood, thus, I named the path, Abrahams Highway One. ( Wa jacalahaa kalimatan baaqiyatan fii caqibihi lacallahum yarjicuun ) " And ( Abraham) made ( Tawheed) a lasting word ( Criterion) after him to be traced back to pure ( Islam ) submission to (God)."

Rahima sis A better statement would be: " I do not see myself marrying a married man at present." Biologists say we are a different person every 12 years as all of our cells change, psychologically we frequently change with emotions that at times change our outlook 180 degrees, and spiritually, it was reported that the Prophet SAWS used to supplicate " Allaahumma yaa muqallibal quluub, thabbit qalbii calal islaam " I am not sure of the siighah, meaning, O transformer of outlooks, keep my outlook and belief fixed on Islam. That statement of yours represets an outlook of a period in your life, based on your present priorities and taste, which are known to change, on one hand, and your self esteem and pride as you value them, on the other. some people who made similar statements lived to regret making superlative statements like the above, depending on the driver of that statement, which is apparent to Allah alone, it can either be harmless or a haunting statment, i pray for your Mucaafaat ( safety from harms way) in this life and the other.

Azmaya sis you write; Classic wadaadism. Raise your kids, be mothers, good obedient house wives, wear your hijabs, xishooda naya, stay in your homes please or your will bring moral decadence and corruption to society. Classic Nur and you don’t realize it. I wonder what the honorable Shaykh Aweys and the honorable Shaykh Sharif think a womans place in society ought to be? And how many young wives these holy warriors take pleasure in, hmmm I wonder, care to tell us Nur? Azamaya dear sis Its all about our world view, what world do you see now?, from your perspective you see an ideal image of how the world should look like, the Wadaads also have their own world view, which in this case is at odds with yours, if each has his/her world, then we would not have any problem, because at the end the better world would show, however that striking contrast is not to be seen here on this ONE-PLANET, it will be in the next world, and the wadaads are bent of creating their world view that fits them while at present another picture of the world has been completed by people who do not see beyound the present world, and you seem to be biased by it (as I see it, my view). I was sitting next to a German tourist in a flight to the far east, as we chatted, the issue of foreigners in germany and the German population crisis came up, the German tourist confided that the proplem in Germany is that women have become like men in many ways (the tourists exact words), as a result some men are looking for eastern women as mates to sense feminity, which comes as a package with kids, which European women failed to produce to their adopted masculinity, European men are alos looking to regain the status of a male head of family, which the tourist said is viewed as sexist if one speaks about a male head of family. Its the view of the world we want to see after we die that should guide our lives in the world we live in today. Nur

Naden sis asks: Nur, bro, will you be addressing the issue of polygamy and orphans soon? I posted a couple of questions/comments for you on page 12. I can't see how it could even be brought up without so much as a cursory mention. The verse on polygamy is inextricably linked to orphans and being fair/just in their care. Is there a hidden assumption that every second (or 3rd or 4th) wife is a widow w/kids that my dense mind is missing in the multiple scenarios brought up by you and the posters? If not, why is the permissability of the practice not linked to the 2 conditions in the verse: 1) fear of not managing orphans' affairs justly, 2) taking a second (or 3rd or 4th) wife - no doubt the mothers of these orphans, or else verse 3 sura 4 would not bring them up at all. InshaAllah, I will, answer your questions on page 12 and more, but it is important we remove ourselves from the problem itself to see the solution. As long as the Faaraxs view it as a field day and an open season to take advantage of this imbalance and as long as Xalimos put emotional roadblocks to any idea woeard the idea, the wisdom behind this solution will be lost, looking at this problem from the perespective of an orphan is indeed a strong case, thanks for the suggestion.

Cambaro sis Secularism is a smoke screen for Atheism. Atheism comes in many flavors, denial of Allahs exisitence, denial of his commandments, denial of following of his commandments, the word Ilxaad in Arabic means "to divert the essence of a thing away from its meaning" . Atheism is diverting mankind's attention away from the purpose of his creation, only ignorant " Muslims" fall for this purported separation, any knowledgeable Muslim who believes that Allah is the true sovereign over our lives ( SAMAD) will never reject that Islam guides our lives, while in the meantime accepting secualrism and all the filth that comes with it to guide their lives, and that of their innocent kids. Its utter contradiction, if not a concealed or undiagnosed disbelief in Allah and the day of judgement to practically endorse one faith for this life and another passive belief for the next life (unless of course one is lying to him/herself). Allah says about these folk : Alladiina jacalul Quraana cidhiin. Nur

Aaliyah sis writes: Xalane.....looks like u are da type of man who goes for woman who makez lota money. I think marrying anybody, man or a woman for a temporal vanishing attribute is not a good idea, the ony attribute in a woman and a man that lasts the test of time is their faith and love for Allah, all others are a facade, and packaging, not that they are not desirable, I consider that looks are sort of bribing to pair up with someone, but at the end of a day, only faith and good character can keep a couple together.

Cara writes; Science classes teach science. Non-scientific theories don't belong in science classes. Creationism is not science by any stretch of the imagination. By all means, teach it in school, in religious education classes and such, but to force scientists to teach non-science is just perplexing. It's like asking a geologist to teach that the earth is flat on the grounds that someone somewhere believes it to be so. Answer: Before we argue on what is science and what not, let us look up the Dictionary, here is what I found: Websters defines: 1 : the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding. eNuri Comment: How we know what we know differs, from time immorial mankind had different channels of conveying and receiving knowledge, at times we know, but we dont dont know how we know it, knowedge is said to be limited by our ability to deliver it. What we know can be either seen immediately, after time, or we may never see it, but that does not make it non exisitent. Websters defines: 2 a : a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study b : something (as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge eNuri Comment: Any systemized otgan of knowledge is called science, the word science is not a monopoly for Chemistry and Physics labs, these are material sciences (Chritsallography is part of it and has nithing to do with Christianity) Websters defines: 3 a : knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method b : such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena : NATURAL SCIENCE eNuri Comment: This part is what Cara referrs to throughout her response, so let us shed some light at this: Before we decide what is truth and what is not, we need to use a single yardstick to arbitrate competing intrepretations: The two camps, those who want religion to be taught in school and those who arre aginst it come hare a bitter history. Its well known that Christianity frowned and at times lynched scientists, accusing them of heresy, because Christianity is based on folklore and not a well preserved Devine account, it collides with reason, and because of that, scientists grew suspicious of religions and the gap of mistrust became so wide that the two institutions agreed to disagree peacefully, as long as the Church collects its dues and scientsts carry on their experiments. things went well. That was Christianity and empirical science, on the contrary, Islam, not only has it encouraged the scientific method of investigation, but also the Quraan challenges humans to go through blue membrane of earth, and hence to teh wider space , Allah says, you can , but only with Sultan, meaning, Power, Knowledge or authority. ( surah Jinn) There is no recorded instant in which a scientsist was lynched for his beliefs in Islam, islam on the other hand has always been on the forefront to verify scientific advancement with verses of the Holy Quraan. Therefore to say all religions are the same, is likke saying all sciences are the same. Its actually unsceintific to make such a rogue generalization, science is a well structured bodies of knowledge that are verifiable, through dedeuctive or inductive reasoning, or a phyisical experiment. Webtsres Defines: 4 : a system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws eNuri Comments: Now, when we look back the scientific development through the ages, we would laugh at the recorded FACTS of scientists and medical doctors during the mid twentieth century, Newton believed in alchemy, as a science. What was thought to be a fact , like the atom being the smallest particle, kept changing, light was explained as particles, waves, after experiments, it matched both, space and time seem not understood well and unknown dimensions keep popping up with every new scientific paper. In light of these developments, I do not think most Christians object to the fact the world is spherical, but they do object when Darwin tells their kids that thee evolved from King Kong, Evolution as a theory is being reexamined by enlightened bioligists, and just as scientsts were at one time terrorized by the Christian Church, Athiests in control of the Scientific institutions are terrorizing any threory that challenges the long held fallact of Darwin, which if taken at its face value reduces the human exisitence on earth to that of animals, its not strange therefore that parents complain about the immorality that this type of reasoning has broght about. Cara writes: What exactly is unexplainable? Everything that you believe that contradicts science? Another question from a Christian perspective, since no scientific fact contradicts with Isalm. Cara needs to study the Quraan and Islam's pioneer advancements in sciences and the dark ages of Europe. There are four possibilities: Things we know, and we know that we know them Things we know, but are unaware that we know them Things we dont know, and know that we dont Things we dont know, and do not know that we dont know. The last is said to be 99% of cases. To see what I am saying Cara, imagine being in a circle, which represents things you know, the more you know, the larger that circle gets in diameter, so what is inside looks to you as big, but what you dont know is geometrically getting larger at the circumference of that circle, Allah SWT says in Quraan: "Wa maa uuteetum minal al cilmi illaa qaliilaa" knowledge was not given to you but a little. If you accept that fact that you are finite, in your abilities, phyisical, intellecttual and exisitence, its logical to accept that certain things will remain unexplained to you forever, but that does not mean that it does not have explanation, it may have, but not necessarily to you, due to your limited capacities of comprehension. Cara writes: Isn't this circular reasoning? Answer: To ask scientists to explain the unexplainable is not a circular argument. Circular argument arise when the output of one argument feeds into the argument in question itself, i.e. God exist, because he said so in the bible. I assume that was an honest error from your part, just like scientsts are capable of making errors. Here cambarro was simply saying that scientists are incapable of expalining everything, there is not proved scientific method to disprove her argument, if you claim that science can explain everuthing, you need to prove that statment. If you believe that God does not exist because science did not prove it yet, is a fallacy, because it is inconclussive, if on the other hand you believe there is a probability, then it calls for considering other scenarios that may explain to others what they believe, but not necessarily to your liking, thus, if evolution is taught in school, with Cambarros tax money, she has every right to ask the school to teach the creation of man and satan and fall of man from grace of God due to his sins and arrogance and the terminal life in hell and heaven as a final reward. Cara writes: By drawing a line and saying "go no further", are you really showing the limits of science? Answer: I have shown that science has its limits, unless you can create the universe to make a laboratory for scientific inquiry, , or in your case a common house fly, or in case the house fly takes a bite of your sandwich, and you fail to get it back, i thing there are limitations, to say there are non, we have to redefine what science means. Cara writes or the flimsy nature of supernatural beliefs? If they fail to stand up to rational inquiry? Answer: Here you fail again a scientist, scientits classify, examine and then make a statement, in your case, you seem to have the illusion that all beliefs are the same , have warped logic, and are aginst scientific inquiry, I invite you to study Islam, your statement is closer to flimsiness than Islam. Cara writes: isn't it fallacious to then declare that it is logic that's at fault? Answer: Yes it is fallacious, your logic is very fallacious, science is a tool to understand nature around us, to cope with it and live harmoniously with nature, and its laws, to prosper for a higher purpose, the way to live and prosper is not found in labs, scientists did not discover the value respect, tolerance, forgiveness, sanctity of life, benevolencew, or benefits of male circumcision in labs, it was revealed to Abraham, and today science shows that circumcision for men is a protection against STD, labs do not teach values that a community needs to live by, these values came through revelations, are you denying that these revelations came from a wise and knowledgeable God? if people misinterpret religion, that does not make it irreleveant just like a wrong scientific experiment does n ot warrant that all science is wrong, di you remember a decade ago that two scientsists calimed that they invented cold fusion? what a joke the Christian priests would laugh. Cara one question to you: Which Christian faith were you brought up with,? I mean, Pentacostalist, Babtist, Seven Day Adventist, Mennonite, Catholic, etc.? I cant help ask this question as all of your arguments pertain to Agnostic arguments from a Christian perspective. Nur

Duceysan sis When Islam prevailed in Yathrib (Madina), the two warring tribes in Madina, the AWS and the Khazraj, seized hostilities toward each other, they became one entity and brothers and sisters in faith, blood letting was stopped and together they formed a new entity known as ANSAAR, thie Hosts and helpers of the Prophet SAWS. The Civil war in Somalia is driven by Qabilism, meaning that every qabil thinks its the best, strongest and more noble in blood, they see that presidency and power to be the epitome of their Qabils ability to be on top of other tribes. I used to run on a track at a University, when one day after finishing my laps this student came to me and aske me what my tribe was! I was shocked, because, I ran so well, he wanted to make sure the credit goes to his tribe. When you go to a shopping mall and meet a Somali, the first thing they want to know is your clan, in case theyr want to speak freely and do not want to slander you, so to have fun, you can confuse them , like a story of a guy who started bad mouthing rer Qansax, when suddenly one guy protested in anger and said, how dare you speak so bad about rere Qansax? the guy smiled and calmly responded, " I am also a rer Qansax, I can say anything I want about my clan" which cooled down the angry clansman, the moral: as Rer Qansax, we can kill each other, insult each other, its all in teh family, but we dont tolerate outsiders to do it. What we need is to identify ourselves with our convictions and beliefs, which we choose, not with the Qabil, which is chosen for us by Allah as a Zip Code only. All good people are a clan, all evil people are another clan. Nur
