^Insha'Allah.

One thing we need to change is stop focusing on external factors like hijab and beard, and get deeper into the meaning of Islam.

Sorry to say, but the arabs are losing. That's just destiny I guess.

mashaAllah, very beautiful indeed MC!

Islam is beautiful, Allah is beautiful,I just wanted to let everyone know I couldn't keep it to myself...I love nabi Muhammad(saw), the greatest human of this ummah. Sometimes, I wish I lived in the era of the prophet Muhammad(saw) so I could've fought and died a martyr, not only that but also met the shahabis. Share your love for Islam, sometimes it feels good to shout it out!

Everyday.. P.S., you really are trying to become a citizen here aren't ya?

^MC i thought you already had a 'somali' wife, are you looking for a 2nd wifey? :rolleyes:

Allah defends Nabi Muhammad (pbuh), until the world comes to an end, the non-muslims will hate on our prophet.

However, some girls take the colorful scarves to extremes, like wearing super colorful skirts with super shiny jilbab that you can spot them from a mile away. Yes, some sisters wear hijab really prettily

We see hijabs coming in brand names these days, like CK, and Versace and girls are actually wearing that. Why does hijab need to be brand named? We see sisters with hijab, but it seems like the only part of the hijab they got right was how to tie it up around the neck and hair.There are some sisters who wear really tight jeans with hijab, and they call that hijab. Is hijab being diluted to a mere cloth? To me, it seems like the current trend in hijab is trying to make hijab lose it's meaning of piety and taqwa.Also, sisters who wear hijab are getting over arrogant, especially when it comes to seeing another sister without hijab. No one knows where they are going in akhira, only a fool would say he is perfect.

I don't even think it's necessary to force a 11 year girl to wear a hijab. For one, she is still young, secondly, she should first learn the basics of tawheed. That's why we see many girls wearing the hijab because "it's a somali thing" or they want to be seen as good girls, yet at the same time they don't have an Islamic akhlaq. It's sad. Alhamdulilah, my parents never forced hijab down my throat, I dressed the way I wanted to dress, and finally as I learned more about the religion hijab came naturally.

Of course western liberalism tortures and oppresses women. Where is the freedom when you have to walk around in revealing clothes just to feel good about yourself? Also, marriage is on the decline, and out of wedlock relationships are on the rise,and this really destroys societies. There is wisdom in all of Allah's laws to make the society function properly. So many single mothers out there, and where are the men? Well, they are taught that they don't need to help the women out, they should be "independent". This is very sad, because men and women need to work together as Allah made it so.

Yo-Yo man, my situation is actually quite different, I never grew up in Somalia to begin with, my parents did though. I think the world is a global village, and people can live where they want, it's all Allah's world.

I never felt like I belonged anywhere, I always had this emptiness in me to go somewhere different, and so that's why i decided to go visit Somalia. I really liked it, but one thing i learned is people no matter where they are, are all the same. When I came back to the west, I actually felt like i was more at home here, because weirdly enough I can relate more to the culture here in America, than Somalia. Insha'Allah I plan to go back to Somalia a couple years later to have a visit again, I really enjoyed my trip there. Wonderful people, with good hearts.

loool@link...subhan'Allah, ha ii habarin, i'm not that bald.

Ok, for the past couple of weeks, my hair has been shedding so much. Every time I comb my hair, large chunks start coming off. I don't know if the stress in my life, I try to add protein in my diet, but nothing seems to be working. I'm scared I might become baaaaaaaaaald! What should I do?

Many of the homosexuals in the picture look philipino and non-lebanese.

Oh my Goodness, I was 13 when I had my first hugh crush on this biracial kid. He wasn't even that good looking, but at that time, all I did when I came home was listening to this one song...can't recall the name of the song. I used to have those little butterflies in my tummy everytime I was around him. But, that died out when I went to 8th grade.

it's better to be happy and single, than miserable and married...I think so.

masha'Allah libaan, great story. Do you speak somali?

simple...it's subconcious priming

I recently saw this news clip about this somali girl, 12, who slashed this british girl's face because she was severely bullied by her and the school. Actually when I saw the girl's face, I immediately knew it was a somali girl who did this, because somali girl's always go for the face. Anyways, are somali youth especially in the UK bullied in school? What's going on in that part because I hear so much things happening there.

loool^ Oh so if you don't wear dirac, you have to wear macawis? Interesting.

HI everyone! I come across lots of single people these days, and that's all they seem to talk about. I wanted to know, are there single people out there who are actually happy with their status? If you are one, why do you feel this way? If you are single and don't feel happy about it, why do you not feel happy? Does anyone like dating? I personally think dating is so redundant, it's the same process over and over again, so I just stopped dating lol.So, what about YOU?

Firstlady, sister, you don't have to feel bad, many women have gotten married at 30 and above. There is nothing wrong with that. Secondly, you have to love yourself first, if you don't a man isn't going to fill that hole. I think these days we are trained as women to feel bad if we aren't married...I mean come on, life goes on! Subhan'Allah. Go on with your life abaayo, insha'Allah the right guy will come around.
