^^ Naxar sxb, when did someone claiming to be inspired by another individual become a crime? The KKK claim to be inspired by Jesus( ISA). Does this mean quoting from ISA(as) can be labelled as silly? As for Syed Qutb, he had some errors and he had some benefits, and In Islamic knowledge, we take from what is good and leave what is bad. Perhaps you would have found this article beneficial were it not for the mention of his name? @bint hamid, I haven't heard that story before. perhaps if you could try to find out the source @Nur, I was thinking more on a personal level when I read this article. How often do we supplicate to Allah due to a difficult situation, and we ask Allah to rectify our affair, but when ease comes we show little gratitude or even forget we made that particular dua? When I went through a life changing experience a few years ago, many Somalis gave me dunya advise; it brought me no comfort or peace of mind. Though there was this "religous" brother who simply reminded me to understand that this is a testing from Allah and to pray Salah. I followed his advise, made wudu, prayed salah, and Walahi, Nur, I can't describe the tranquility and sakinah that Allah poured down on my heart. Sometimes it takes extreme difficulty and calamities to help us realise the purpose of our creation,for if we only enjoyed good times we would become haughty and heedless of our purpose, as Ibn Al Qayyim said: When enjoying continuous health, wealth and ascendancy, human souls acquire an oppressive and impatient nature. This is a disease that hinders one on his journey to Allah(Almighty) and the Hereafter. So, when Allah(Almighty) intends to honour a soul, He gives it difficulties and hardships which serve as treatment for that disease, like a doctor who makes a patient drink a bitter medicine or removes diseased parts from him. And if he left him to his own wishes and inclinations, they would destroy him. Going back to back your comment on the current affairs, I don't think you should be surprised in the least. Human beings have a tendency to show kibir and not be thankful when Allah delivers them from trials and tribulations. We want to believe that it was our own effort and doing which led to deliverance. Recall the punishment and oppression Pharoah inflicted upon Bani Israel: 1.he enslaved some of them 2.killed their new borns and some of their women and children 3.denied them their religion, whilst goiing as far as callimg for them to worship him instead. So Allah sent forth Musa and his Brother Harun, the pious slaves of Allah, to confront Pharoah and call him to account for his disbelief and arrogance. After a period of testing and difficulty under the hands of the Egyptians, Allah sent iman and sakinah to the hearts of Musa and some of his tribesman. Allah showed them a great miracle by drowning Pharoah and his flock in the sea. Musa and Bani Israel were finally saved from his oppression. However, despite witnessing the miracle of Allah swt and being saved from oppression, were the Bani Israelites thankful to Allah? NO! Due to the brief absence of their leader Musa( he was receiving instruction from the heavens), the Bani Israel were misled by a Munafiq, known as Samiritan, into making and worshiping a calf out of Egyptian gold. Allah pointed how they had these inclinations and desires before MUSA left them: We conveyed the tribe of Israel across the sea and they came upon some people who were devoting themselves to some idols which they had. They said, "Musa, give us a god just as these people have gods." He said, "You are indeed an ignorant people. What these people are doing is destined for destruction. What they are doing is purposeless." (Qur'an, 7: 138-139) Here we have an extraordinary scene: Bani Israel want to worship and share a portion of the religion of the very people* who were slaughtering and oppressing them on account of their tawheed, before ALlah saved them. Samaritan took advantage of the Absence of Musa to instruct them to worship the calf. In another extradordinary scene from the Quran, Allah describes the reaction of Musa when he was informed: "Musa returned to his people in anger and great sorrow He said, "My people, did not your Lord make you a handsome promise? Did the fulfilment of the contract seem too long to you or did you want to unleash your Lord's anger upon yourselves, so you broke your promise to me?" Musa even confronted Harun, his own brother, deputy leader and prophet, he grabbed him by the beard, asking him: "What prevented you following me, Harun, when you saw that they had gone astray? Did you too, then, disobey my command?" Harun skilfully and diplomatically defended himself by reminding Musa that his was the son of his mother and also that he would never encouragre or condone such behviour: He said, "Son of my mother! Do not seize me by the beard or by the hair. I was afraid that you would say, 'You have caused division in the tribe of Israel and taken no notice to anything I said.'" (Qur'an, 20: 92-94) Harun said, "Son of my mother, The people oppressed me and almost killed me. Do not give my enemies cause to gloat over me. Do not include me with the wrongdoing people." After confronting the tribe of Bani Israel and his own brother, Musa, then, tackled the source of the problem;Samaritan, the hypocrite: He (Musa) said, "What do you think you were doing, Samaritan?" He said, "I saw what they did not see. So I gathered up a handful from the Messenger's footprints and threw it in. That is what my inner self urged me to do." He (Musa) said, "Go! An outcast shall you be in this life, nor shall you escape your appointed doom. Look at your god to which you devoted so much time. We will burn it up and then scatter it as dust into the sea." (Qur'an, 20: 95-97) One can see the uncompromising, harsh and brave stance that Musa took against the kufr and shirk commited by his tribesmEn- who made a plethora of weak excuses for their crime. Indeed MUSA was made of a backbone that never breaks. * by people I mean "mushrikeen".

@Dabshid; Bro, Allah swt said: O you who believe! avoid most of suspicion, for surely suspicion in some cases is a sin, and do not spy nor let some of you backbite others. Does one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? But you abhor it; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful’ (49:12) And an Arab poet once said: If claims are not supported by proof, they are used only by the fools as evidence. So if you have no evidence for the allegation you have made and it is merely based upon suspicion- you should repent from it and withdraw it;otherwise you may asked to account for this slander on the day of qiyamah.

Is diz Xiin I see who wants beef? Farax please, I'll make you- run and leave like Shariff My Gabays make false poets grieve If I come to Xiins local Makhayad I'll eat him and his gabay like a Sabayad Cuz its all fake like a Somali Ruwayad And itz just been exposed like a women in Cabayad.

As for reading peoples intentions, another classic case of complete lack of self awareness. Bal, who is the one claims to know that, " some Somalilanders wish for the war to continue in Muqdisho" and that " some "takfiris" wish for perpetual suffering and anarchy". Perhaps SHariff ba ku shegey all of that?

He's the Rodney Dangerfield of Barca... Hleb & Gudjonson should be axed (along with Henry), not Eto’o! He should go back to Mallorca, they respected his achievements there. He’s not like a Drogba or anything- he doesnt disrespect anyone….They always label him as angry- he's west African for goodness sake! They all talk aggressive and demanding. Couple that with the reality he faced in Barca, it makes sense. He’s just frustrated that for such a top player, he doesnt get the same respect as any other player would- it’s disgusting really! he just wasn't a celebrtity type player. And he looks quiet on the pitch.

^^ Abti, I wrote it in Arabic, so I am currently working on a translation for the respected readers . Yar sug. I think you should be more honest like Abdullahi Yusuf supporters used to be. I know you want foreign troops to destory the "khawarij" and help your hero Shariff to rule Somalia.

Originally posted by Nur: The wisdom is to keep always within the limits of Islam, ( Nawaaqidul Islaam) , like staying in highway lanes, unfortunately, these days, most attention is given to the Takfeer extremism*, which is wrong, but as the Sheikh says, the Fitna of Takfeer is the lesser evil than the Fitnah of dilution of Islam, since the latter can indeed render a person a nonbeliever while the Fitnah of Takfeer does not necessarily expunge a person from Islam. The middles path is the right path, that of the Prophet SAWS , his companions and the Taabiciin followers. Nur Indeed, Sheikh Nurow, this is a great problem facing Somalis.

a classic case of the kettle calling the pot black. ( the people who have been making badil dua qunoot for Ethiopia, America, Kenya, even Israel to invade Somalia, on this forum all happen to be Sharifites )

Originally posted by Meiji: ^^ If you supported that secessionist entity in the past but repented for your crimes (causing division and fitnah) than may Allah accept your prayers LOL Ameen: ps. you shouldn't try to fight all your enemies at once. For now, let us make an alliance of convenience and point our sharpenened cyber swords against the tfg cheerleaders.

LOl. You are the one who gushes forth, much the like nicaraguan waterfalls, to defend certain warlords from the South/Muqdisho. And then you constantly wail about fulan ibnu fulan and fulan ibn somali is coming to this region or not being from that region. So who is the one who is obsessed with clan? ps. you are contradicting yourself again. If Sheikh fuad was born and raised in the South, why did you say he should go back to PL, and not Sweden? Matter of fact: why did you say he had to PL and start a war. Bal answer that without obfuscating. You even think that I am a seccessionist, riyale supporter, all because I had the nick Zeylaci previously.Again, who is the one obsessed with clan?

Originally posted by Meiji: quote:Originally posted by Naxar Nugaaleed: looool at ayeeyonka, meiji, you have have some explaining to do, are all about this this m society isbaaro, by the the way, this m society is all most all part of the Somali Diaspora NN, Clan-infested individuals on SOL may try to distort the notion of Mogadishu society to a nickname for a particular clan, but it is clear to all that Mogadishu city has always been and still is the most diverse city in Somalia. That was the case in the previous centuries, and that will be the case in the coming centuries. -------------------- -------------------- --------- . So, then, why did you say Shaikh Fuad should go back to PL and start a war there, even though he born and raised in da Southside( ie. Muqdisho and elsewhere)? You contraduct yourself too much.

I once watched a crime spoof of Lenny Henry trying to catch some gangsters. As his cover was blown, he decided to paint his entire face and hands white. So there he had the gangsers under surveillance and he was following their ever step. However, the gangsters went into a public toilet and Lenny Henry went in there too. I guess how he was exposed is self explanatory. ps. Adam;I used to bit naive like peacenow bout afrocentrics-until I read there comments on certain afrocentric forums- walahi Arabs would never say such things. Bun them!

What foreign fighters are you talking about: the Somalilanders and Puntlanders?

Originally posted by Meiji: ^^ As we all knew, you are propagating for Alshabab when it comes to Southern Somalia, but when we apply the same reasoning to the secessionist region you suddenly get nuanced. Riyaale and the other remnants of the old order need to be tackled by Alshabab like the remnants of the old order have been tackled in Soutern Somalia. You are a hypocrite as is Godane dude who propagates for Jihad in Xamar and calls people from ''murtad'' from left to right while Hargaisa is ruled by Ethiopian lackeys. Again it would not surprise me if Godane was a secessionist agent. PS: A secessionist should not even talk to me when it comes to nationalism and the General Interest of Somalia. Godanes position towards Somaliland regime is not any different than say his position on Egypt or the TFG. They're all the same to him.Your are just putting words in his mouth, because, well, um, uhum, he just happens to be from another part of Somalia :DSo much for nationalism, eh?

SalAMS, this is an interesting article I came across: The Backbone that Never Breaks {“And from the people is he who worships Allah as if he were on an edge. If good befalls him, he is content with it. And if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face. He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the clear loss.”} [al-Hajj; 11] Commenting on this verse, Ibn Kathir said in ‘Tafsir al-Qur’an al-’Adhim’ (3/279): “This means that he enters the religion on an edge. So, if he finds what he likes, he sticks with it. Otherwise, he retreats. al-Bukhari reported…that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “A man would come to Madinah. If his wife gave birth to a son and his mare gave birth to foals, he would say: “This is a good religion.” If his wife didn’t give birth and his mare didn’t either, he would say: “This is a terrible religion.”" And Ibn Abi Hatim reported…that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “Some bedouins would come to the Prophet and become Muslims and then they’d return to their homelands. If they returned to a year of rain, produce, and good children being born, they would say: “This religion of ours is good. So, stick to it.” If they came back to a year of hunger, bad children being born, and drought, they would say: “There is no good in this religion of ours.” So, Allah revealed this verse.” …And ‘Abd ar-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said: “This is in regards to the hypocrite. If everything is going well for him in his life, he is consistent in his worship. If things change and go bad for him, he goes back and wavers in his worship except when things are going good. So, if a trial, hardship, test, or inconvenience befalls him, he abandons his religion and returns to kufr.”" In ‘Fi Dhilal al-Qur’an’ (4/2412), Sayyid Qutb commented on this verse by saying: “Even if this addresses the Islamic call back then, it is an example that is repeated in every generation – this person who weighs his belief using the scales of profit and loss, thinking that he is engaged in some sort of business deal… Belief is the firm backbone in the life of the believer. The world crashes around him, and he remains firm on this support column. The events going on and the pressures existing around him push down on him, and he remains holding firmly to this rock that cannot be shaken. The crutches fall from under him, and he leans on this foundation that cannot be moved from its place or swept away. This is the value of belief in the life of the believer. Therefore, it is a must for him to stand up straight on it, be sure of it, confident in it, not shaky in it, and not waiting for any reward for it, as it in itself is a reward. This is because it is the protective force that he turns to and the supporting column that he leans on. Yes, it is itself a reward for one opening his heart up to the light and going after guidance. As a result, Allah grants him this belief and faith for him to turn to for support and assurance. It is itself a reward whose value the believer realizes when he sees the confused, distraught people around him blown about and thrown around by the wind, engulfed in anxiety – while his belief keeps his heart tranquil, his feet firm, his mood calm, and his connection to Allah. He is confident as a result of this connection. As for the type of person mentioned in this verse, he turns his belief into a business deal: {“…If good befalls him, he is content with it.…”} Here, he says that it is good to have faith. He is gaining some benefit, things look good, he is picking his crops, he is profiting from his deal, and he can stand up to the wind. {“… And if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face. He loses both this world and the Hereafter…”} He loses this world through the trial that he was afflicted with and was unable to exercise patience and hold himself together in the face of, and did not turn to Allah during. He loses the Hereafter due to his reversing course and his abandonment of his beliefs and the guidance that was made so easily available for him. And the Qur’an depicts such a person as worshipping Allah “on an edge,” shaky in his beliefs, shaky in his worship. It depicts this state as the impending physical movement of one who is prone to collapse at the first hint of pressure. This person reverses course when he is simply touched with trouble, and his standing on the edge is simply a prelude to him going back from what he was upon and collapsing. The measurement of profit and loss is something that belongs in business, not your beliefs. ‘Aqidah is a truth that should be adopted simply on account of what it is – the reaction of the heart that has opened itself up to light and guidance that has no choice but to react with whatever it encounters. So, this belief carries its reward in its nature, due to the confidence, tranquility, and pleasure it contains. So, it doesn’t look for reward from anything other than itself. The believer worships his Lord out of gratitude for being guided, for the confidence that comes along with being close to Him. If any reward were to come, this would be from the favor of Allah due to this person’s faith and worship! The believer doesn’t test his Lord. From the start, he accepts whatever He Decrees for him, surrenders from the start to whatever he will experience, is pleased from the start with whatever ease or hardship comes his way. It is not a business deal between a buyer and seller. Rather, it is the submission of the Creation to the Creator – the One who runs his affairs and was the reason for his existence in the first place. The one who reverses course when he is touched with trouble endures a loss in which there is no doubt: {“…That is the clear loss…”} He loses the tranquility and confidence and calmness and pleasure, in addition to losing his money, family, health, or any of the other material possessions that Allah tests people through – He tests their confidence in Him, their patience in the face of these tests He brings, their own sincerity to Him, and their willingness to accept His Decree. This person also loses the Hereafter and the pleasures and closeness to Allah it contains…what a loss!” He continues: “…And Allah presents for the believers something better than whatever this life can give you, even if you lose whatever it gives you during the course of your trials and tribulations: {“Truly, Allah will admit those who believe and do good deeds to gardens underneath which rivers flow. Indeed, Allah does what He Wills.”} So, whoever is touched by any type of trouble or test, he should stay strong and not become shaky. He should manifest his confidence in the Mercy and help of Allah and His ability to remove all hardships and compensate and reward for them…”

Kashafa, that is not gaalracnimo, rather is gaalnimo/kufr of the highest level, unless they were ignorant of nawaqid al islam( what takes one from the fold of Islam) or they were compelled to write the letter. Malika, a certain mad mullah did that and more. Gabbal, Kashafa is an undercover seccessionist agent from Hargeysa like Ahmed Godane. I have it from good sources.
