  1. ^^^ you're welcome, darling . There is no-one who wouldn't like the poem. "Intresting thought bro...." Thank you! "So if we are formed by those things we hide, what becomes of the theory that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?" You mean, chop off the old block? Like father, Like son? Well, in terms of behaviour, habbits and mannerisms, we may not fall far from our parents, but, our unique experiances 'may' form our secrets, thence our identity. "Or is it just another branch of the same tree?" We are indeed 'just another branch of the same tree', though that may purely be only in relation to genetics. The branch may have resemblence to the tree but the branch isn't what the whole tree is. It's just one part of it and thus, differently and respectively, the tree becomes parent, while the branch the child'. "That we, in way, are taught by our parents to be either open or private with our thoughts by watching how they contribute personal information...?" Apart from parenthood, our mothers and fathers endeavour to instill in us good virtues. They also guide us through good and evil, while ensuring that we conceal our thoughts in a way preferable to them. A good example of this is how fathers talk to their sons through manly issues and mothers their daughtors. Parents always abide by social norms, so what they teach or instill in us is partly dictated by cultural pressure and religous belief. Have you realised how parents react when children say or do something out of line? "Shiish, ceeb nayaa or waryaa, isku xishoo!" "So tell us bro, what truths do you seek to hide?" I hide she whom I love. Its an undeniable truth that my love for her deeply exists, but, if it were to keep on existing, it must be hidden and become a pleasant secret. Remember I only hide things from others but not from her cos we share that secret. Its one of the truths I seek to hide. The more I hide the more enjoyable.
  2. Before we judge, lest distinguish between the factors that determine when a girl should get married. these factors are a)circumstance; b)personal prefernce; c)principle. - Circumstance = understandable - Principle (religious) = desirable - Personal preference = I can't comment on it!

  10. And they say a mind is a terrible thing to waste.. Yep, Princess. But are your lives easier now? Underdog, I once listened a sheikh called 'Mustafa' while he talked of something called 'imaanni'. As I understood it, he was saying, 'imaanni' is the illusionary belief that we can do things without moving at all. For example, its 'imaani' to expect a tea cup lavitate up in the air and fly towards you, cos in thought, thats what you'd like to see happen. I have no evidence showing that people can, with the power of thought and concentration, move things. However, magicians and many others do claim to possess such power. I am no no magician but I was thinking; what if what we mentally recontruct actions that we would have otherwise manually undertaken. That is, say, you are in need of a cup of tea, but because you dont wish to move, you can create an image in the mind with the likeness of that cup of tea. The next step will be convincing the part of the mind that craves for the tea, by making it believe that act of drinking a cup of tea already took place. That way, the only thing that is missing from such a thought will be 'mass and the moisture of the tea. To go beyond this point and deal with it, the brain must mimick senses felt during when the tea is in transition from the mouth to tis destination, the stomach. But because no tea has been drunk, through thought the mind has to make the stomach follow her instructions, while endeavouring to supress any cravings mentally . usually, suppressions of craving can be achieved through the numbing of our senses and judgements. For example, say a girl believes she is overweight and that for her to feel better she must lose weight or atleast believe she had lost weight. She may lose lots of weight and may still not believe she lost any weight. Her mind becomes unsettled and focussed on achieving her intended goal, the feel good factor. The continuation of defying actual truth may lead to becoming anarexic. Belief, however, illusionary, is paramount to the human phsyche. So if we belief what we think, we can 'sometimes' make our actions redundant. ..sorry bout the off-topicing!
  11. "It is very reasonable thing then, to say variety of living organisms cooperate to sustain life. Early ‘primitive’ human societies in this regard used to cooperate to meet the demands of life. " Indeed Indeed sxb. Your pieces are good brother, I mean it. Very reasonable. I havent finished reading this one but Insha-Allaah.. I will be back to finish reading it. Thank you
  12. Can we, for the love of Allaah, learn from this and all other man-made genocides? The least we can do is to ensure such things don occur to us again. Make use of the difficulty please!
  13. Well, I always thought there was a fine line between Public and private matters! I guess I was wrong! If Garab Tuujiye would have said something foul in public, I would have either criticised him or supported him. However, since the evidence before me is a excert from a private Message, there is nothing for me to say . Garabka - you sure did a good thing for not publicising a private affair...salut!
  14. I was meaning to ask this question long ago. However, my friends (Hizb Taxriir) at Guildhall university kept emphasising to me that there is possibility of harnessing a grassroot support for the return of an Islamic state over ALL Islamic lands. They say n insist that the Muslim mass is so tired of it (whatever that has links with the west) that it may trigger some sort of a revolution. my question is though, is that ever possible? ---Below is an article from one of my friends. Please read and tell us whether you think there is a chance of reviving an Islamic state. --- 80 years after Islamic ame le, the western way of life is bankrupt Today marks the 80th anniversary of the abolishment of the Islamic Khilafah state. The state was formally abolished on this day by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the British agent who usurped power and established a secular Turkish state in the Muslim lands. The western powers had been plotting and planning a political and cultural assault on the Muslim world for several centuries prior to the events in 1924, but Ataturk’s treachery marked the jewel in their crown of successes. On the 3rd March 1924, the entire Muslim Ummah was completely without an Islamic ruling system, a system that had persisted for over 1000 years since the Prophet (SAW) had established it in Medina. Naturally without the Islamic ruling system, the rule of non-Islam was enforced over the Muslims and they were forced to swallow the non-Islamic culture and practices. Overnight the assault on the Islamic heritage had begun, the Muslim women were forbidden from wearing the Hijab and religious ceremonies and occasions were outlawed. Additionally the Islamic centres and buildings were forcefully put under the administration of the secular rulers, and they were instructed to stop their Islamic work. All of this happened under the direction of the British, who revelled in the fact they had removed Islam from the lives of the Muslims. This was most notably pointed out by Lord Curzon, who declared in the House of Commons: “the point at issue is that Turkey has been destroyed and shall never rise again, because we have destroyed her spiritual power: the Khilafah and Islam.” Such a statement indicates a state of mind amongst the western world that they had triumphed over Islam. But whilst this was a political defeat for the Muslims, had the western world won the intellectual battle? The next few decades saw the continuing promotion of the non-Islamic concepts and culture throughout the Muslim world. Women were encouraged to abandon the Islamic attire, men and women were encouraged to mix openly, alcohol was served in bars and clubs in the major cities, whilst the study of the western political doctrine was encouraged amongst the intellectuals. Ideas such as nationalism, patriotism and the nation state were heavily promoted in all corners of the Muslim world However, when the state of Israel was declared in the Islamic land of Palestine, the true test of the effects of the western culture was put in the spotlight. Rather than leaving the issue to the Palestinians, as nationalism would call for, Muslims all over the world were outraged and united behind the call for the liberation of Islamic land of Palestine. This state of affairs continued for decades and remains the case till this day. Though the western political culture was heavily promoted in the Islamic world, the western world remained wary of letting the Muslims build secular democratic systems for themselves. For decades they backed tyrants to rule over the Muslims with an iron fist, ensuring that any Islamic revival was crushed, and that the Islamic culture was continuously eroded. However, in the late 80’s and 90’s, several attempts were made to ‘legitimise’ the secular rule of law. The Muslims were given the opportunity to voluntarily authorise the rule of secularism by the holding of elections. When Algeria went to the polls in the early 90s, far from rubber-stamping secularism, the overwhelming support went to a party who represented Islamic rule, as opposed to a secular rule. The level of support expressed by the Muslims in Algeria for this Islamic party put western elections to shame. Yet this ‘democratic’ mandate was crushed by the Algerian army, in accordance with the wishes of the western powers. In Turkey, the place where the British removed the Islamic rule, elections were also held. Again, the Muslims overwhelmingly voted for a party deemed to represent the Islamic voice, albeit characterised by western thought. And again, the army forcefully opposed the will of the people, and took power for themselves to enforce the secular rule. Even after banning several groups deemed to be ‘pro-Islamic’, the support of the people was always behind the most ‘Islamic’ of the existing parties. These political experiments clearly showed that the Muslim world was far from being converted to the western political culture. Rather, they were adhering to Islam even after decades of being submerged in western propaganda and western culture. The first Gulf war demonstrated that the Muslim world remained loyal to their brethren, and were even prepared to put years of differences behind them, rather than capitulate to the demands of the western world. Rallies and protests were seen all over the Muslim world when Iraq was first invaded, and many were held in Iran, though Iraq and Iran had been forced to fight a bitter war for nearly a decade. It was clear that the western culture had failed to inspire the Muslim Ummah. After 9/11, the western world was not afraid of acting in accordance with this failure. Having lost the intellectual struggle, they resorted to the ways of old, by employing brute force and oppression. Hence Afghanistan was violently assaulted, and Iraq was viciously brought to its knees. All of this was driven by a frenzy that Islam and Muslims posed a security threat to the entire world. Not only were the tyrant regimes in Muslim countries given a green card to step up their oppression, but also the western world demonstrated their intellectually bankrupt state of mind, by passing oppressive legislation targeting their own Muslim citizens. Thousands of Muslims in the West were threatened, harassed and even imprisoned without proof of any wrongdoing. The secular traditions of ‘innocent until proven guilty’, or the much-vaunted value of ‘human rights’ were thrown to the rubbish heap, in a desperate attempt to beat the Muslim populations into submitting to the secular way of life. Legislation was passed to curb Muslims from marrying early in Sweden, whilst in Britain ‘citizenship’ classes were introduced where Muslims would forcefully have to swear an allegiance to the secular traditions. And in France and Germany legislation was passed to force Muslim women to remove the Islamic headscarf, undermining the very concept of ‘freedom of religion’ that was previously central to the western culture. Today in the Muslim countries there is a renewed effort to sow the seeds of decadence and corruption. A new Arabic news service has been established by the Americans, specifically to promote pro-western propaganda in the Muslim world. Whilst western movies, pornography and music are routinely being pumped into the occupied lands of Afghanistan and Iraq. Islamic charities have been closed down all over the world, and Islamic institutions have been severely restricted in what they can teach of Islam. Even an Arabic version of the ‘Big Brother’ reality show has been created, and pumped out via satellite to the entire Arab world. Yet, these measures are proving as ineffective as every other effort attempted by the western world. Muslims are protesting and forming groups to close down the purveyors of western culture in Afghanistan and Iraq. Almost all the Muslim world has greeted the American Arabic news channel with contempt and ridicule, and an unprecedented level of protests and complaints has seen the curtain fall very prematurely on the Arabic ‘Big Brother’ experience. The Muslim world today views the western culture itself with the same disdain and contempt that they view the western political manoeuvres in the Muslim lands. And we have the western world to thank for this, for showing openly and clearly the bankrupt nature of the western way of life. Muslims realise now that not only is the western way of life full of social, political and economic problems, as vividly seen in all western societies, but that the western way of life is innately against the Islamic way of life. This has led to a massive Islamic resurgence in all parts of the Muslim world, as Muslims realise that their status will never be elevated until they undo the actions of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1924. Without the Islamic system, the Muslims will remain politically weak, divided and easy prey for the western world. Though the western world will never succeed in making converts of Muslims to their secular way of life, they will be able to wreak tyranny on the Muslim Ummah with impunity. This reality is dawning on all Muslims, and for most the only solution in sight is a return to the Islamic ruling system. All of this state of affairs is far removed from the joyous claims of Lord Curzon when he claimed victory over Islam in 1924. Rather than having a free hand at winning over the Muslims, the western way of life has shown itself to be weak, uninspiring, unable to solve the human problems and has failed at every attempt to convince the Muslim Ummah. Today, the very values that were enshrined in the western way of life have been compromised in order to suppress the resurgence of Islam, leaving the western way of life in tatters. After 80 years after the abolishment of the Islamic Khilafah, the return of the Islamic rule can be sensed throughout the Islamic world. The hadith of the Prophet (SAW) in which he foretold the removal and reinstatement of the Islamic Khilafah, is foremost in the minds of all the believers, “Prophethood will last with you for as long as Allah wants it to last. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be a hereditary rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be an oppressive rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be a Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood.” Then he (SAW) fell silent.” [Ahmad] Tanveer Ashraf For further Comments visit: www.1924.org/comment/

  17. Bushraa SupaFly, nice piece! Farah, ...."Still true, still manifest my love abides. I sought thy dwelling, passionate for thee, When Destiny had done its worst with me,".... Hmm! what a commitment that is! Dowoco....Sis, although I was not intent in complicating things, I can't help doing just that. I guess the saying 'the damage is done' renders true my situation. """"So how does a soul go about denying a truth that is in mind?""" Some people say, 'we're what we hide'. SO I guess though, sometimes, tis hard to deny some truths, we wish them hidden. In return, our efforts to hide is what end up becoming.

  21. Nomads, I must confess, I am addicted to Aayaha Nolosha, especially Codka Mucaashaqiinta 'Lover's Voice'. SO I thought I should share the following article called, in translation :How can love be maintained. Sorry to those who don't read Somali. ----- Sidee loo joogteyn karaa Jacaylka…?!!

In badan ayaa la arkay labo is jecel oo isla haajiray (Masaafeystay) iyagoo ka baqaya in jacaylkooda la carqaladeeyo, kuwo baa is dilay marka ay is waayaan ama caqabado kale ay soo wajahdo, kuwo kalena waalidkood ayay u caddeeyaan in aan jacaylkooda la carqaladayn haddii kalena ay ifka uga tagayaan arrintaa awgeed. Ma aha layaab haddii labo qof oo is jeceli ay is ammaanaan oo midba kan kale uu ku tilmaamo sharaf, qiimo, qaayo & qurux aan mataalkeeda iyo qiyaasteeda aan si fudud loo helayn, maxaa yeelay dareenka kalgacal ee dhex yaala qalbiyadooda is jecel ayaa isu tusinaya wanaag, hannaansami & bilic toosan oo ka muuqata qofka uu jecel yahay, taasina waa waxa keenay ammaanta badan & hilowga labadaa is jecel ay isu qabaan.

  22. [A]person must have justified true belief, the justification is understood partly as having access to the reasons that ground the belief in question..... accessibility to the internalist is necessary condition for knowledge.. Zaylici, I know I'm going off-topic here, but, are the Internalists implying that accessibility to logical reasons emenating from 'one's true belief' can dictate the creation of reliable knowledge? Could this not mean that, in accordance with what the internalists' believe, the existance of knowledge, however widely recognised, depends on how strong one's belief of it is? The following paper was written for a class( Epistimology) two years ago, it discusses about the nature of knowledge, please enjoy reading it. I enjoyed it sxb... Nice piece. Insha-Allaah ... Maybe we can sometime move to the ontological side of the subject in question. I am interested in Logical Positivism. Thankx for sharing sxb....
