In the ninth year of hijra, at the head of an army of 30,000 Muslims which is gathering to meet the impending aggression from the Byzantine Empire, Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam delivered the following speech at Tabuk on the borders of Syria: He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam praised and thanked Allah and said: Verily the most veracious discourse is the book of Allah (the Qur'an). The most trustworthy handhold is the word of piety (Taqwa). The best of religions is the religion of Ibrahim. The best of the precedents is the precedent of Muhammad. The noblest speech is the invocation of Allah. The finest of narratives is this Qur'an. The best of affairs is that which has been firmly resolved upon. The worst religions are those which are created without sanction. The best of ways is the one trodden by the prophets. The noblest death is the death of a martyr. The most miserable blindness is waywardness after guidance. The best of auctions is that which is beneficent. The best guidance is that which is put into practice. The worst blindness is the blindness of the heart. The upper hand is better than the lower (i.e. it is better to give than to receive). The little that suffices is better than the abundant and alluring. The worst apology is that which is tendered when death stares one in the face. The worst remorse is that which is felt on the Day of Resurrection. Some men do not come to the Friday prayer, but with hesitance and delay. And some of them do not remember Allah but with reluctance. The tongue that is addicted to false expression is a bubbling spring of sins. The most valuable possession is contentment of the heart. The best provision is that of piety. The highest wisdom is the fear of Allah, the Mighty and Great. The best thing to be cherished in the hearts is faith and conviction; doubt is part of infidelity. Impatient wailing and fulsome praise of the dead is an act of ignorance. Betrayal leads one to the fire of Hell. Drinking amounts to burning. Obscene poetry is the work of the Devil. Wine (alcohol) is the mother of evils. The worst thing eaten is one which belongs to the orphan. Blessed is he who receives admonition from others. Each one of you must resort to a place of four cubits (the grave). Your affairs will be decided ultimately in the next life. The worst dream is the false dream. Whatever is in store in near. To abuse a believer is transgression. Raising arms against him is infidelity. To backbite him is a disobedience to Allah. Inviolability and sacredness of his property is like that of his blood. He who swears by Allah (falsely), in fact falsifies him. He who pardons is himself granted pardon. He who forgives others, is forgiven by Allah for his sins. He who represses anger, Allah rewards him. He who faces misfortunes with perseverance, Allah compenses him. He who acts only for fame and reputation, Allah disgraces him. He who shows patience and forbearance, Allah gives him a double reward. He who disobeys Allah, Allah chastises him. I seek the forgiveness of Allah, I seek the forgiveness of Allah, I seek the forgiveness of Allah.

If an arab leaves his doors and windows wide open at night and then is robbed.He will probably blame the Zionists. Just like somalis are blaming the ethios for all their problems today.Rather than getting to the root cause of their problem which stems from their own division and mistrust.

Why would somalilanders want to come back to people who would use foreigners to bomb their own brothers?Something they have experienced themselves(South Africans)And this is coming from a "puntlander" whatever that means.

I thought they only had a few military trainers?

Quote:Kenya closes border with Somalia; US joins hunt for Islamists NAIROBI, JAN 4 (AFP) US naval forces have joined the hunt for Islamist militants with suspected Al-Qaeda ties trying to flee Somalia after being defeated by Ethiopian-backed government troops, a top US official has said as Kenya closed its border with its lawless neighbour. The US forces, based in Djibouti, were patrolling the seas off Somalia in a bid to capture some leaders of the Islamic Courts movement, including suspected Al-Qaeda agents wanted for the 1998 bombings of US embassies in East Africa, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. The United States was working closely with Somalia's Horn of Africa neighbours "to ensure that these individuals aren't able to transit those borders," he said in Washington, without providing details of the US deployment. Kenya's Foreign Minister Raphael Tuju meanwhile said his country had closed its border with Somalia to prevent an influx of weapons and fighters. The closure, which came a day after Ethiopian helicopters bombed a Kenyan position by mistake, left thousands of would-be refugees stranded on the Somali side. Kenyan police prevented aid workers from reaching refugee reception centres and forcefully escorted at least 700 people in northern and coastal regions back over the border to Somalia, drawing a protest from the UN refugee agency. Tuju said that "we are not able to ascertain whether these people are genuine refugees or fighters and therefore it's best that they remain in Somalia." He insisted that Kenya would not budge on the issue "unless women and children are in danger inside Somalia. Where is the t.f.g in this? did the t.f.g suddenly acquire fighter jets to bomb somali "islamists" wadaado in somalia?Furthermore the t.f.g was hosting the alliance of shaytanic warlords who where regrouping and blatently stated they would get their old jobs back with the help of ethiopia.How can a government lie to it's own people?Did they not tell us there was no ethiopian troops and after that they changed their story to say there was only "a few trainers" well the few trainers occupy half of somalia and killed many somali youth. Even Zenawi stated himself that he had made all "preparations for war" with the islamic courts.Logically this means that during the khartoum meetings the t.f.g knew that a third party was making preparations for war. The principle of the i.c.u was simple, remove ethiopian troops from Somalia. Anyone with a slight bit of intelligence can tell that this whole scenario was ochestrated by the boys in Washington, due to their paranoia of islamic movements after Afghanistan.The t.f.g and the hizb of shaytan warlords are merely tools in a greater game. What will they say to ALLAH on the day of judgement? "ya allah we killed them because they where jihadist or ya allah we killed them because they where islamists"?

The demise of somalis started when caano geel was replaced with Khat. The christian highlanders still teach their kids about the damage inflicted on them by Imam Ahmad Gurey.Meanwhile somalis are teaching their kids xabashi mecenaries like somalis.If the "mad mullah" or Imam Ahmad was here what would they call him? a "jihadist".....

Did the islamic courts lose the support of the people or shacab that brought them to power? if so, why?

The "Moderate" muslims in somali "Mo-darka_dhiga" are back in power.

Quote: Haile Sellassie, the ageless personification of imperial dignity, triumphantly returned to Ethiopia from exile. However, events in the ****** took on another dimensions. Haile Sellassie began a relentless campaign for the consolidation of personal power and expansion of the Ethiopian State. He proclaimed, "I have come to restore the independence of my country including Eritrea and Southern Somalia whose people will henceforth dwell under the shade of the Ethiopian flag."5 In a later memorandum to the United Nations, his government proclaimed that prior to the race of the European powers to divide up the Continent of Africa, Ethiopia included an extensive coast line along the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.6 The British, having betrayed the Somalis for reasons of enhancing power, wealth, and influence, had yet another precedent for doing it again.
