Whenever I check the "recent activity" in my account, there are many successful sign-ins from places I have never been to. Mauritius, Iceland and other countries and some locations it says the attempts to sign in have failed. I keep on changing my passwords but someone in Iceland and Mauritius will always sign in. Is this real? Sometimes I used to get e-mails from Google telling me of "suspicious activity" in my account. I keep on changing stuff, secret questions, recovery e-mails, passwords and at one point I even altered my name but nothing has changed. Honestly I have run out of passwords now! And options. How do I stop this? Anyone!

<cite> @thehassanabdi said:</cite> "They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment." QUR'AN 5:73-75 Hope you are satisfied with that answer from none but ALLAH swt himself. This verse is against Trinity and the sub-division of tawxiid goes against this verse. What people do not understand is, not all Muslims subscribe to this tawxiid sub-division. Its a Wahhabi/Salafi doctrine. <cite> @DoctorKenney said:</cite> This is a simple diversion used by Christian missionaries to confuse the common Muslim. This whole discussion had already occurred way back in the 1980's with Ahmed Deedat, when he debated Christian missionary Jimmy Swaggart. It's a tired topic What you don't understand is this is a belief held only by salafis and the Ahlel sunnah do not subscribe to it. Its not a "simple diversion" by Christians but I believe there is a deliberate intention by some Muslim sects to divert Muslims away from the true oneness of Allah.

<cite> @Skeptic said:</cite> First of all, this isn't and shouldn't even be something of a discussion but to clarify in simple terms:<br /> <br /> Christian Trinity is THREE different beings been combined to ONE! (which is contradicting) ...<br /> <br /> The divisions of TAWHEED simply mean that ALLAH is:<br /> <br /> - The CREATOR of all things (this gives Him the title of RABB {literally meaning NURTURER])<br /> - The One and only worthy of been WORSHIPPED (thus ILAAH [uLUHIYYAH])<br /> - He has many NAMES and ATTRIBUTES (ASMAA = names ATTRIBUTES = sifaat) simply meaning that He is The all knowing ('Aliim), ever merciful (Rahman), all hearing (Samii') all seeing (Basiir) ..... <br /> <br /> One of the reasons why these three categories exist is because, anyone can/have claimed to be god and demanded to be worshipped. But no one can/have claimed to have created any creations thus, though anything/anyone might be worshipped, the One that is WORTHY of been worshipped is the same one that is the Creator of everything and has control over all. He is the all knowing which no one has claimed to be. I don't understand how your last paragraph specifically addresses the categorization. If as you said this was done to counter among other things the claim of "creating", then why wasn't the name of Allah "Al-Khaaliq" included into this or the reason the rest of Allah's attributes were lumped into one "category" to give way for 2 more? They don't make sense. There's a deliberate intention here to particularly come up with the number three. Regarding the same doctrine in Christianity, majority of Christians believe that the sub-divisions are merely "expressions" of God and that the substance or essence are the same but with different functions. This is exactly the same reasoning used by Salafis when explaining the sub-division of tawxiid. They claim the category of tawhiid (Rubuubiyah), rabb is responsible for answering duas and that the other category which deals with attributes of Allah merely exist to make people aware of the powers and characteristics of Allah. There's a clear differentiation here with regards to the functions. The question is why is a concept like tawxiid which literally translates to "Oneness" be sub-divided in the first place? How can there be different categories for this oneness? And why specifically three? You can not start your explanation by saying "The tawhiid (oneness) has been subdivided for blah..." Tawhiid is tawhiid, its the only claim we have of having a monotheistic religion and this divisions are alien to Islam.

<cite> @Tallaabo said:</cite> ^ Another good way of getting a suitable partner is to spend your holidays in Somalia, Somaliland, or the other Somali regions of the Horn. There are many, many good natured, hard working young men in those places who might be right for you. This is very true and a sound advice! I personally know some amazing brothers in the horn and Kenya. Young professionals in their mid/late 20s with 2 degrees mostly.

Somali families/friends can be a great source. Met my wife (A distant cousin herself) through a close family member. You need to befriend more Somalis, get to know more of your extended family members and chances of being introduced to a good Somali man will increase. Last but not least, pray to Allah. Since you are a young woman who is seeking halal marriage, Allah won't let you down.

Succeed or secede? The man can't even correctly pronounce what he's trying to say. Besides that, why is an opinion of a Borama man even important to begin with?

How secure is that hotel? The foreign minister stayed in this hotel in one room for a whole month! What if an American Al-shabab recruit with a US passport checked into room 408? This is disturbing.

Saxansaxo;975714 wrote: When considering marriage how important is the guy/girls family to you? By family I mean the inlaws. Would you go for a guy/girl that has a mother or a father that is very difficult to handle, one who tends to meddle in most marital affairs of their kids, is very controlling, etc. Would you reject a person on the basis of whats above, thinking its not worth the hassle in the long run. Or would you go for it, perhaps thinking the person would be reasonable enough to put his/hers foot down if they were to overstep the boundaries of whats tolerating. Im asking this because lately I have seen the disastrous effects close family members can have on peoples marriage.. Some people are imtixaan soconaya... Its a very important issue you've raised here. Unfortunately this is prevalent within Somalis, I would say 'checking out' the girl's parents is as important as choosing the girl herself. From what I have seen, mostly its the girls' mothers that prove to be very difficult. Fathers often times don't meddle in their children's marriages. Getting married to a girl whose mother doesn't respect and like you can be very disastrous, especially if the mother lives in the same town or country. On the other hand, if the girl is too good to let go, I would say just stick with her and move to a different place. As soon as a Somali mother realizes her girl loves a man and she would do anything for him, faraha ayay ka qaadaan hablohooda. Lol. Sodoh wanaagsan Ilaahay unbaa laga heli karaa.

There is a concept in Islam that I find very difficult to grasp or understand without making comparisons with the concept of Trinity in Christianity. Its about the subdivision of tawxiid into Rububiya, Uluhiya and Asmaa wasifaat. How can oneness be subdivided into three, and why exactly 3? I heard a Somali salafi sheikh explain this in a lecture and he claimed that all supplications (Dua) are addressed directly to Al-Rabb, the Lord, and its only Al-Rabb who is responsible for answering normal supplications. This clearly gives Al-Rabb and independent entity. He continued to say that the one worshiped in normal salah is Allah, and thus the Uluhiya category of tawxiid is responsible for salah and other worship like fasting etc. Then he finished by saying the 3rd and final category of tawxiid only deals with the attributes and characteristics of Allah, and that this 3rd part is distinctly different from the former two. Clearly when put this way, it suggests that the three different parts of tawxiid have their own unique and distinct nature, and are responsible for different tasks. Christians believe that The father, the son and the holy spirit are three in one, and one in three. Basically God, subdivided himself into three and each part has its own task, like the son coming down on earth to die for the sake of humanity, the holy spirit filling up people's hearts and saving them from their sins etc etc. I'm having hard time telling the difference between these two. The concepts are almost similar with only slight changes. Someone come forth and explain how this doctrine infiltrated into Islam, how it is different from Trinity and how it's not a threat to the monotheistic nature of Islam?

A trial is a must but chances of a fair trial in Somalia are very slim. If this man belonged to a smaller clan his fate would have been clearer.
