^^^ Brava Brava! You have guessed it right! I lived Hayes area. Very close to Heathrow, Southall. However, these days I have been residing in Hounslow-West which is a short journey away from Staines. Now you tell that Dawoco lady who's trying to implicate me Gediid, yes sxb I am a nomad. I move alot. Dawoco hakaa saarto hee -- Back to the topic. Did any of you nomads watch his movie? I heard it was hilarous. I like when he talks about his uncle Jamaal and always associate him with spliffing and sniffing and being high 24/7. Funny bloke he is.

Lol@Dawoco.... I really didn't knew we had a Marxist amongst us. This is not good. I shall, from this day, refer you as the Instigator. Baashi, sxb calaalka iska dhaaf. Sababtoo ah, aniga iyo adiga iyo rag kaleba isku moora ayaan ku jirnaaye. Note that I count myself among the proletariats.

^^^ Lol he is from Staines Massive ... 15 minutes from where I live and staines massive seems to be displeased with him moving to the States, leaving behind his 'Julie'. The dude use to be funny but people got bored with him. Cynical UK, you can call it.

Baashi, Saaxiib, marka hore, aad ayaad ugu mahadsantahay sida haboon oo ay sharafta ku dheehantahay ee aad hordhaca inoogu sameysey. Marka xigta, saaxiib, waxaa mahad leh Eebe, Isagoo ina wada garansiiyey in loo baahan-yahay eray-bixinta, macno-iyo micne raadiska erayada shisheeye si aan u cilmi siyaadsano, una tafsiirno erayadaas si ay uga faai'deystaan Soomaalida inta u waxbarata maanta iyo ubad-ka wax baran doona berito-ba. Dhab-ahaantii, beryahakan, waxaa maskax-gal ah (amba macquul ah) inuusan shakhsiga Soomaaliga ahi ka kaaftoomi karin isticmaalka amba adeegsiga erayada shiisheeye. Balse, waxaa la yaab leh in ay yar-yihiin shakhsiyaadku inta isku taxalujiyo soomaaliyenta erayadaas, inyarba ha ahaatee. Hasa-ahaatee, waxaa waajib nagu ah - shakhsiyan - in aan meel un ka amba-qaadno howshan muhiimka ah ee sida ba'an loogu baahi-qabo. Balse hadalka aan soo qabira e' (khatimo e'), waxaa haboon in aan diyaarsanno TAB inoo fududeeysa micneynta eraya iyo raadraacoodaba. Insha-allaah waa arrin u baahan wada tashi weyn si af-garad looga gaaro sida TAB-taasi si buuxda ugu shaqeyn laheyd. 1 - Kelinimada Erayga (the word)ka sokoow, wuxuu eryga macne iyo micne yeeshaa marka lagu jimbleeyo amba lagu jimciyo eraya kale. Jimleyntaasi waxaa loo yaqaan 'war+baan; warbaan' (sentence). Inta badan, marka eray-bixin lagu sameeyo eray, waxaa suurta-gal noqon weyda in eraygaas ku haboonaan waayo warbaantii lagu daro. Sidaa awaadeed ayaa waxaa muhiim ah in marka eray-bixin lagu howlan-yahay in maanka lagu hayo, micnaha amba macnaha uu erayga ku yeelaan karo warbaan (sentence). 2 - Erayga shisheeye - kasoo qaad Ingriisi ah - ee la damacsan-yahay in eray-bixin lagu sameeyo waxaa wanaagsan in la raadraac si loo ogaado micne-asalkiisa (etymology). Mararka qaar waxaa suurowda in marka la adeegsado Nudubo(sida hordar (preffix) amba dibkar (suffix)..) erayguna ka koobnaado laba eray macnihiisa is-badal ku-yimaado. Hordarka iyo Dibkar-ka waxay isku yihiin Nudubsi. 3 - Marka lagu guuleeysto eray-bixin waa in tala-galka erayga noqdo guud-siman (generic)la wada fahmi karo. Intaasi waa iga fiiro gaar ah.

3-Or, you get the feeling of experiencing a situation twice. The same event, on same time with same surrounding environment or people. Isn’t scary and weird?, coz it happened to me several times and still happens a lot. Classique, this the main reason that prompted me to start a topic called: "Dream or life, which is the true reality?". I have witnessed events that seemed, to me, as if they were recurring. It was as if I could tell what follows next and it felt abit frustrating. I usually ask myself, "how come I am doing the same thing, again and again?". I am sure such recurance is also experianced by many other people. Classique, I have heard of atleast 6 to 7 types of dreams. These types of dreams are categorised depending on the nature of the dream one has. It is said that there are: Day Dream - This dream occurs when one borders between wakefullness and sleep. It usually occurs when one is in a state of - extreme - boredom. - Lucid Dream - This is the kind of dream within which one is aware that s/he is dreaming. In addition of be aware, one is also able to exert controls on the dream. The controls which one can exert, obviously, are various. However, one control is said to be related to the fact that one can decisions made in the dream itself. (A good example of such a dream is one I had a week ago. This was a dream within which I was making decisions on the options I had in the dream itself. The dream was about making a choice between a)- live in poverty in this world but be promised of greater things in the hereafter; b) live wealthily in this world but await uncertain results in the hereafter. Surely its a long dream, but Insha-allaah I shouldn't go into it currently.) - Recurring Dreams - These are dreams that take place over and over. I wont say much about them. Also there are: Epic Dreams , Healing dreams nnd others..... Insha-allaah I will try to answer your questions.

Nuune, thankx sxb. We have almost all the ingredients for a government in exile. Lets form one! PS: Nune (i like this nick better), I shall Insha-allaah be specializing in Foreign Affairs from now on. Have a position ready for me! Somali Embassy, here I come.

The first step in dealing with any self-proclaimed Mahdi would be for the United States and its Muslim allies to rely on Muslim scholars, preferably practicing Muslims themselves, to denigrate Mahdist claims, by portraying Mahdism as a kind of superstition, and by pointing out incompatibilities between the Mahdist claimant and the hadiths. For example, were bin Ladin to reveal himself as the "Rightly-guided One," ulema and muftis could draft and disseminate official fatwas (legal opinions) challenging his Mahdist claims by noting that: 1) the Mahdi must be born in Medina, whereas Usama bin Ladin was born in Yemen; 2) the Mahdi must not kill other Muslims, as bin Ladin and al-Qa‘ida have done in Tanzania, Kenya, New York, and Afghanistan; 3) the Mahdi is to be preceded by not only the Muslim antichrist, the Dajjal, but also by Jesus, neither of whom is known to be present on earth. The Ottomans took this approach against Muhammad Ahmad, but since they and their ulema were seen as interlopers in Sudan, they could not discredit the movement. The Saudis, on the other hand, succeeded with their anti-Mahdist propaganda blitz, for they were fighting on their own turf, both rhetorically and militarily. It is not too early to encourage the development of a counter-Mahdist doctrine, as a kind of immunization against a future claim by bin Ladin or anyone else. The second and most important aspect to defeating any revolutionary leader claiming the title of Mahdi is military power. The destruction of the Taliban regime is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a military victory over bin Ladin. So long as he lurks in some corner of the Islamic world, he will remain a latent contender for the leadership of any millenarian trend in Islam. Of course, Usama bin Ladin may not have the ambitions speculatively ascribed to him in this article. He may very well die in Afghanistan, or survive but never arrogate to himself the title of Mahdi. Even so, the spread of Mahdist belief in the contemporary Sunni Muslim ethos, wedded to resentment against dire socioeconomic conditions, repressive political regimes, and Western and Christian global dominance, practically ensures that Mahdism will at some point erupt. When it does, it will threaten not only the Islamic world, but very possibly the entire world. This is an eventuality for which the United States would do well to prepare. Timothy R. Furnish teaches world history at Georgia Perimeter College and holds a doctorate in Islamic history.

P.S. Please do not spew that gibberish about "academic cowardice" because you know that it has, as Wittengstein would say, no-sense (compare nonsense). However, should it make you feel better to write that, then I would suggest that you scribble it on a restroom wall somewhere instead, that gives it a timeless power. Lol Muta, now don't get so touchy, will you. And please leave the deadmen rest in peace. And please don't talk of decency in the same reply that you suggest I should "scribble it on a restroom wall". Lol..If scribbling is a habit of yours then please keep it as your secret. Such a suggestion shouldn't be put in a topic which the discusion is set on 'Dreams'. Restrooms, Lol why, oh why, I wonder! PS: Classique, sorry about this sis.

^^^ Muta, Plagiarism. You may have had certain experiances with 'plagiarism', but trust me, Muta, I know what it means. PS: I can make grammatical and typographical errors since I do not suffer an academic cowardice. I am glad.

Classique I know a SOL member who has great knowledge of the reality of Dreams. Ask our esteemed brother, J11 (Cali) as he is well-versed in these matters. "Dreams are more real than life because it is good to think thus" he shall tell you. Mutakalaim, yes I know the guy you are talking about! Isn't he the guy who loves to distance himself from unoriginality and plagiarism? Yeah, thats him Classique, good thinking with original thoughts Keep it up! Don't worry about this Mutakalim dude, he hasn't his own thoughts. He may achieve to dig into long-dead men's thought and occassionally accuse you of constructing 'logic with fallacies'. Lol thats all .

OG-girl and Yousuf.... sorry but its with Somali that I write, not Arabic. And, I am directing the Ayah towards none-believers. I don't think it takes a genious to figure that out.

Personally, I would think the solution to our problems lies within Islam. But for those who get iritated at the mentioning of the name: Islam, I say, 'La kum Diinukum Waliya Diin' - to you your religion, to us ours.

Waw! Sheekada iyo shukaansigaba si wacan ayay u socdaan, waan u jeedaa! carry on young ones

Daagaalka iyo xiisadaha ka aloosan Jubbada hoose amba ka socda Buulo Xaaaji, sidey saameyn ugu yeelan karaan shirka iyo doorashada speaker-ka? Hakkad ma u keeni karayaa habsocodka shirka guud ahaan?

NOOR, sometimes saying it earlier may land you upon a troublesome spot sxb. In regards to Somali women's vocabulary, there use to be a time when courtships were achieved through wit and cleverness. Those were days of the Hal-xiraale or riddles that concern sentences and their hidden meaning. Those generation of women and men were accustomed to such style of shukaansi and their command in Somali language was excellent. However, things have changed and the only hal-xiraale is the modern way in which guys and girls metaphorically use double-edged words. A word such as Yuusan Kaa Go'in : has been usually used by girls to indicate to a guy who is at their place of living: 'catch the last bus' cos no one will give you a lift. This meaning, "son, your company is despised, so get the hell out of our house or get thrown out!" with some yells . Guur ama Gaabsi sxb? ?

Leave pink alone for ladies? What Tom, Dick and Harry think of it conceptually, is a long story, what matters most is, is it cheap and likeable? If yes, I buy and I wear like, Ciyaal Biid.

Are these flowers for free? Hell yeah, send it to me ..

And I glad to see old nomads coming back one by one. Taqwa welcome back...

^^ Namaste sxb. Thankx

^^^^ Forgive me, I have made an honest mistake by confusing names. But still the question you have asked is a valid question and I have given you an answer to that. I am against going far into any comment that doesn't answer the questions I have asked.
