Allah's prophet says "he who veils his fellow Muslim's affair in this world, Allah will veil his affairs in this world and the hereafter". It's just advice for brother Nin_Yaaban that's all. He's not breaking any "worldly" laws per se, however, not following Allah and his prophet should be what worries him more.

Story of a sister who's maher was 25 cents to non-Somali and 25000 to her cousin! Wake up people! Wake up!

There actually are Somali sisters who cringe at the thought of marrying a Somali man. Somali sisters marry outside at a higher proportion than our other Muslim counterparts, that's just a fact around my neck of the woods at least. And Ya'll haven't mentioned the double standard between Somali proposers (for lack of a better term) and non-Somali ones. I remember one sister's wedding consisting of Coke and Pizza in the basement of a Masjid (non-Somali groom). A Somali groom well we know the rest of that story.....
Here's an article I just saw coincidentally, food for thought!

I think there's a lot of things a student of knowledge can do before they leave to study abroad. One can memorize the Quran and learn basic Arabic in their home country. Depending on the availability of people of knowledge one can also learn basic Aqeedah and Fiqh. Once you get a little taste and realize how much more there's to learn then it's safe to venture out and seek Ilm abroad.

Jazkallhu khairan Wadani, I can sleep well now....

You mean the point that Somali women have an inferiority complex.... Enlighten me please.

Saalax I don't doubt that. But geographically I'm considered a Somalilander, but I love Somalis, puntlanders, jubalanders equally. I just hope we can all hold hands one day as a Muslim nation. I ask Allah in all his might and glory to reunite all of Somalia as one peaceful Islamic Nation, Allahuma Ameen.

Yet you're both on "Somalia"online...

Sr. Kowthar has learned at 18 what some Somali women three times her age have not yet learned. I'm not just picking on Somali women here, I believe every Somali stakeholder is partially responsible for this. Deen first is a pretty good policy to go by (the only policy IMHO), but when Deen is not a priority that's where all heck breaks loose!

And people wonder why Somalia is the way it is.......

Al-Azhar is not what it used to be but ahl alkhayr are still there. There's a video on youtube of an Azhari sheikh where he lists the problems Al Azhar is facing. One must understand that Al Azhar is a schooling system that starts from Kindergarten. The Azhar system is slowly being changed so that it is more secular so that students reach the Univesrity level with less Islamic knowledge and more secular knowledge. In all cases from what I've seen is that students benefit the most from Halaqas within the masajid or the homes of various shyookh. Graduates of Madinah benefit most from the study circles in the Prophet's mosque more than they do in formal classes on campus.
For those who understand Arabic here is a synopsis of the problems Al-Azhar is facing:

When I went there and saw all thoseFrench signs everywhere and Arabic and no single Somali language at all I thought it is still under colonization.Somali language is first and foremost without a shadow of a doubt, we're determining the second language that should be taught in schools.

Safferz is our Muslim sister so let's follow our beloved Prophet's saying that " الدين نصيحه " (Religion is advice). Doctor Kenney is my brother in Islam (I'm assuming you're a brother) who I love for the sake of Allah. It's okay to disagree so long as we don't go too far and insult one another. Sister Safferz if you have a question about something within the deen feel free to ask it and we can get you a correct answer if we can't answer it ourselves. Dr. Kenney seems to be well versed in matters of Shari'ah and I believe he just wants the best for you. I hope we can all get along as Muslim brothers and Sisters and not resort to name calling and shouting matches.
Wa billahi attawfiq

Safferz;982466 wrote:Hmm interesting, do you have more info on this? Where do they want French taught? French is a useful language to know depending on where you are,but I would hope Somalis prioritize English for second language learning.With Somalia being a Muslim country I would think Arabic would be prioritized as a second language. We've seen what the English language has done to other Muslim countries and that is dilute its identity.

I'm alarmed at the amount of "hatred" (for lack of a better term) against Madinah graduates. I don't have a problem with any graduates of any Islamic University so long as they have a correct aqeedah and don't follow their whims and/or desires. The only reason Somalis go abroad to learn the deen is to master the Arabic language firstly and secondly because Somalia isn't exactly the hot bed of Islamic knowledge today. So whether they graduate from Al Azhr or Madinah or Om Durman isn't really the issue. Finally, I hope the influx of Somalis from the Diaspora as well as Foreign aid agencies don't begin to spread their Equality/Modernity B.S agenda.

I agree that the scholars of Al-Islam should be able to go back to Somalia without fearing any repercussions from either wing. I believe the path to a better Somalia is to return to the Book of Allah and the way of his beloved prophet (Salla Allahu 'alihi wa salam). May Allah guide all of our brothers back to the ways of the pious predecessors and leave this form of evil shirk. Jazkallahu khairn brother Mad Mullah. If anyone else has anymore information of Dacwah in Greater Somalia (Somalia, Somaliland, Jubbanland, Puntland) please feel free to share.
Wa billahi attawfiq!

If anyone knows this sister please ask her to make tawbah and seek forgiveness from Allah in the short time that she may have left. May Allah make our last actions our best, Allahuma Ameen!

If dude is a Muslim then all your points are moot. I have more of a problem with these types of "Western Weddings" than I do with who our Women are deciding to marry (so long as they're Muslim). One must understand that someone who has been living abroad for over 20 years loses part or all of their "Somaliness" so to speak. If you need a tour guide and/or translator to visit your own homeland chances are it ain't your homeland anymore, I'm just sayin' !!!!!

Asalamu Alikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,
Do any fellow SOL'ers have an idea of where the state of Dacwah is in Somalia. I hear many first and second hand stories about Islamic Universities opening up. However, rarely do these projects get any media attention. If anyone can shed some light on the state of Dacwah (and/or Islam in general) in Somalia please enlighten me (as well as any other interested brothers and sisters). Jazakumallahu Khairan wa barak Allahu Feekum.
Wasalamu Alikum

Asalamu Alikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,
This is a very good initiative Brother Hawaidan, are you currently in Somalia? And can you maybe start us off by telling us the state of where you are and how things are improving or deteriorating. I'm a newbie on this form from the Great White North!

Do you have a mortgage?

Do you believe you are sinning or do you know that getting a mortgage is haram but you've given into temptation? I'm just curious, I apologize if the question is too personal...
