http://www.voanews.com/english/2009-02-03-voa53.cf m U.N. envoy Ould Abdallah noted that few international news agencies actually have reporters in Somalia, but base their stories on information supplied by Somali journalists there. He charged most of the journalists have been compromised through threats and intimidation, and called for a moratorium on second-hand reporting about events in Somalia. "There is a need to have a truce, one month truce in reporting on Somalia," he said. "There is a need to double check the sources with your correspondent. Because they live under tremendous pressure. I am sure they are professionals. They would like to help their country. But the time has come for one month truce on reporting till there is double, triple checking, because Somalia is exceptional. We have to have exceptional checking of the news."

^^On the one hand, you gloss over the massacres commited by the aminsom and Ethiopians, even praising the Ugandans; whilst on the other hand, you condemn the somali groups as murderers and lunatics. Why are the murders and massacres of outsiders " mistakes", but Somali groups are guilty of being murderers and lunatics? One rule for Somalis and another for otusiders, miya? Secondly, how you are certain that Aminsom came to help Somalia, they have always being helping the brutal Ethiopian occupations(Oops, that must another mistake, eh). Are you aware of the history of Ugandnda in other African conflicts?.I think these statements of yours are rather hypocritical, no offense, sxb: quote:Please I urge us to refrain from figure pointing and blaming other for a MADE IN SOMALIA conflict quote:STOP this madness and engage in constructive discourse,. quote:with all there mistakes AMISON is there to help us quote:and many poor women in Uganda have lost a sons killed by barbaric grave diggers called Al shababe!!!

http://kalamullah.com/worship25.html The Believer's Best Season In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful It is said that winter is a time when people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as ‘the Winter Blues’ or winter depression. However, it is interesting to see how the early Muslims welcomed winter, as it is clear that they saw it in a totally different light. Here are four ways that they would benefit from winter: 1 & 2 – Fasting and praying It was reported by al-Haythami in ‘Majma’ az-Zawa’id’ (3/203) with a hasan chain that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Winter is the best season for the believer. Its nights are long for him to pray in, and its days are short for him to fast in.” And Ahmad reported in ‘az-Zuhd’ (p. 118) with an authentic chain that ‘Umar bin al-Khattab said: “Winter is the prize of the worshippers.” Ibn Rajab al-Hambali said in ‘Lata’if al-Ma’arif’ (p. 276): “Winter is the best season for the believer because…Allah strengthens his practice in it by making worship easy for him. This is because in winter, the believer can fast during the day with ease without suffering from hunger and thirst. The days are short and cold, and he therefore doesn’t feel the hardship of fasting… As for praying at night in the winter due to its long nights, one can have his share of sleep and then get up to pray afterwards and recite all that he usually recites of the Qur’an while he has had enough sleep. So, he can combine between the sleep that he needs and the usual amount of recitation of the Qur’an that he completes in a day. So, he fulfills the interests of both his religion and the comfort of his body… And it was narrated that Ibn Mas’ud said: “Welcome to winter! Blessings descend in it, its nights are long to pray in, and its days are short to fast in.” It is also narrated from him and al-Hasan: “Winter is a wonderful time for the believer. Its nights are long to pray in, and its days are short to fast in.” When it was winter time, ‘Ubayd bin ‘Umayr would say: “O people of the Qur’an! Your nights are now long for you to recite in. So, recite! Your days are now short for you to fast in. So, fast! Night prayer in the winter equals fasting during the day in the summer.” This is why Mu’adh wept on his deathbed and said: “I weep because I will miss the thirst I felt when I fasted, praying at night during the winter, and sitting knee to knee with the scholars during the gatherings of knowledge.”” It was reported by Ahmad (4/335) with a chain authenticated by al-Albani in ‘as-Silsilah as-Sahihah’ (1922) that the Prophet said: “Fasting in the winter is the easy prize.” Ibn Rajab commented on this in ‘Lata’if al-Ma’arif’ (p. 276): “And the meaning of it being an easy prize is that it is a prize obtained without any battle or effort or hardship. So, the owner of this prize has been given it as a favor without any effort on his part.” 3 – Caring for the poor Ibn Rajab said in ‘Lata’if al-Ma’arif’ (p. 281): “Taking care of the poor in the winter and protecting them from the cold is a great deed. Safwan bin Salim went out on a cold night in Madinah near the mosque, and he saw a man with little clothing on. So, he took off his coat and covered him up with it. So, someone living in Sham saw in a dream that Safwan bin Salim had entered Paradise with a shirt he had made. So, he went to Madinah and said: “Show me where Safwan is.” When he found him, he told him of the dream. Also, Mis’ar saw a bedouin standing in the Sun saying: Winter has come, and I have no money * And such a thing can only happen to a Muslim; The people have put on their coats * And it is as if I am in Makkah only wearing ihram… So, Mis’ar took off his coat and put it on the man. It was related to one of the righteous leaders that there was a woman with four orphaned children who were naked and hungry. So, he had a man go to them and bring them clothes and food. He then took off his outer clothing and said: “I will not wear these or be warmed by them until you return and tell me that they are clothed and fed.” So, the man went and came back and confirmed to the leader while he was shivering in the cold that they had taken the clothes and had eaten. He then put his outer clothes back on, and at-Tirmidhi reported from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri that the Prophet said: “Whoever feeds a hungry believer will be fed by Allah on the Day of Judgement from the fruits of Paradise, and whoever quenches his thirst will have his thirst quenched from the Sealed Nectar, and whoever clothes him will be clothed from the green silk of Paradise.” And Ibn Abi ad-Dunya reported with his chain that Ibn Mas’ud said: “The people will be gathered on the Day of Ressurection as naked, hungry, and thirsty as they ever were. So, whoever clothed someone will be clothed by Allah, whoever fed someone will be fed by Allah, and whoever quenched someone’s thirst will have his thirst quenched by Allah, and whoever relieved others will be given Relief by Allah.”” 4 – Remembering the realities of Hell It is reported in ‘as-Silsilah as-Sahihah’ (1457) that the Prophet said: “Hell complained to its Lord, saying: “Parts of me have consumed the other parts.” So, He allowed it two breaths of exhalation: one in winter and one in summer. As for its breath in winter, that is the bitter cold, and its breath in the summer is the extreme heat.” Ibn Rajab said in ‘Lata’if al-Ma’arif’ (p. 282): “And from the virtues of winter is that it reminds one of the extreme cold of Hell and pushes one to seek refuge from it… Zubayd al-Yami woke up one night to pray. So, he walked towards the bowl of water that he would wash up from and put his hand it to find the water so cold that it was almost frozen. This reminded him of the extreme cold in Hell, and he did not remove his hand from the bowl until he later awoke and his servant came to find him like this. His servant said: “What are you doing, sir? Why didn’t you pray at night as you usually do? Why are you sitting here like this?” He replied: “I put my hand in this bowl and touched the cold water, and was reminded of the extreme cold of Hell. By Allah, I did not feel the severity of its coolness until you came just now. So, go and don’t tell anyone about this until I die.” And nobody knew of this incident until he had died, may Allah have Mercy on him, and it is mentioned in the authentic hadith: “Hell complained to its Lord, saying: “Parts of me have consumed the other parts.” So, He allowed it two breaths of exhalation: one in winter and one in summer. As for its breath in winter, that is the bitter cold, and its breath in the summer is the extreme heat.” …How often does winter come then summer * And spring goes and autumn comes; And we go from hot to cold * And the sword of destruction is raised over your head; O you who is insignificant in this world * Till when will procrastination deceive you? You who seeks what is temporary, till when * Will your heart be busy with what is temporary? Strange is the one who humiliates himself for this world * While a piece of bread would suffice him for each day…” So, these examples show that winter time is a special time that we should mark not by being down and inactive, but rather by reviving our energy in worship and servitude to Allah.

^^Oh yeah , and what i meant by comment was that there is a difference between these two statements: 1. 4.5 and secular formula is wrong, but we will use it for the greater good of the Ummmah, due to her weakness at this period time. and this. 2. There is no ayat or ahadith going against 4.5 OR other secular/clan formula( there is nothing wrong with it). The first one can be reasoned with, but the second is( at least to me) just institutionalising what is not legislated in the deen.

bentize will probably gone by the end of the season. KEANE would have got over 20 goals this season if he was given the chance. nUUNe, if torres gets injured, liverpool are without cover. Benitez wu washey.

^^Sheikh Umal(type his name on youtube) is considered to be one of the most notable Somali scholars. Secondly, he did not directly oppose him nor call for rebellion against him, which would probably be futile and bring more fitna as you say. His argument(http://www.halgan.net/Mp3/KhudbadiiShMaxa medCabdiUmal.rm) was against the general approach of compromising on the sharica and joining the ranks of the warlords. Allah knows best.

I agree with you: our deen should not be over politicized and used for dirty Somali politics. However, the situation in Somalia and the current global situation of the Muslim world means that it inevitably will, just as it become politicized between Sayid Muhamad and the other Religous factions during the colonial struggle.

^^Aminsom killers should go and save UGANDANS, CONGOLESE OR Rwandans from themselves. If they are so great, they would have done,rather than sending soldiers to somalia so that their government could collect money from Uncle Sam.

^^sis, we are not talking abou Sheikh Umal, not some young shabab declaring takfir.

Bro, Sheikh Umal is a well known scholar, and he wasn't being political. The job of the ulema is to clarify badil from xaq and xaq from badil, at least to the best of their human ability. Those men said that 4.5 was haram, unislamic, tfg were criminals who brought foreigners to the cuntry, aminsom were invaders; however, today they made it all halal without any daleel or evidence. How can something which was haram yesterday become become halal? Does the haram fluctuate according to our political desires?The point of the sheikh is that we can compromise on certain aspects for the greater good such as the Prophet did in Hudaybiyah, but we can't compromise on the central aspects of our deen( tawheed, sharica, etc). As for the sheikh in the article who said there are no hadiths or ayats against 4.5, what about the when the prophet said: All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.

Originally posted by NGONGE: quote:Originally posted by Abu_Diaby- Al Zeylaci: ^^ What is your nonsense is that you are trying to claim that your Ethiopia army friends left because of politics. Just because I think that argument is rubbish that instantly makes them my friends? Pull the other one, saaxib. It is rubbish because there are more serious and BIGGER factors that forced the Xabashis to leave. Al Shabab fought the fight (and the part of blowing up Xabashis was the only good thing there) but they DID NOT force the Xabashis out. Sh. Sharif can claim that he did. The changing American admin can claim the responsibility for that one. Even Abdullahi Yusuf's failed Somali plan might claim that honour. forgive me for the friend part adeer. I thought you were someone else. All the things you mentioned were reactions to the military defeat of the Ethiopian occupation. The Sheikh would never have anything to bargain with or even would have ever been taken seriously had the US government not feared that Somalia would be taken over by radicals. The factors you mentioned occured way after Ethiopian occupation was removed from nearly all major cities and they were confined to a couple of bases in Badio and Muqdisho, where they were attacked every night. It would be a secondary factor, if the TFG and Ethiopia had negotiated from a position of stregthne. In other words,the victory of the resistance forced Uncle Sam to seek the lesser of the two evils( the Sheikh). The old man was also removed, so as to give power to the so called moderate alliance and appease certain clans who some say made up the bulk of the fighting force. Yes, those(you mentiond) are factors too, but all of them where driven by the defeat of the Ethiopian occupation and the fear of millitant groups taking all of Somalia. Sheikh Shariff can take the credit for making the withdrawal legitimate and internationally binding, but they were already leaving, thus he can't take the over all credit. The ball was there for him to tap in to the goal.

Extremism is in Lenience Just as it is in Harshness - Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan Reference: http://www.alfawzan.ws/AlFawzan/MyArchive/tabid/89 /Default.aspx?new_id=117 Category: Methodology Al Hamdulilaah wa ba'd: There have been increasingly numerous campaigns and refutatieons against extremism in religion lately, and they are with just right, because extremism in religion has been forbidden in the Book, the Sunnah and with the consensus of the scholars. Allaah Ta'aala stated: {Say: "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Exceed not the limits in your religion (by believing in something) other than the truth} Al Maa-idah: 77 In another Ayah: {O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allaah aught but the truth} The Prophet - صلى الله عليه وسلم - said: "Beware of extremism, for indeed the only thing that has destroyed those who came before you is extremism." Extremism in religion is to exceed the limits of its legislated boundaries. It could be in worship, such as the three men, one of whom said: 'I will stand the whole night in prayer and not sleep.' The second said: 'I will fast continuously not missing one day without fasting.' The third said: 'I will not marry.' Extremism can also be in rulings; such as making something that is recommended an obligation, or being extreme in the ruling of one who practices a major sin that is less than polytheism by declaring him to be a disbeliever who has left the fold of Islaam. Extremism can be in ordering the good and forbidding the evil, such as the extremism practiced by the Mu'tazillah in the form of revolting against the rulers with the excuse of ordering good and forbidding evil as justification. Extremism is also in declaring something permissible to be impermissible, or declaring something impermissible to be permissible. Extremism in religion in all its forms is prohibited, it may cause the individual to exit the fold of Islaam or cause destruction, as it destroyed those who came before us, and no person who has been given understanding and foresight by Allaah in rulings and in placing things in the rightful place can doubt this. However, there are people whose state is the exact opposite of the extremism of exceeding the limits in the religion, there are those who went to extremes in lenience and indulgence. There is no doubt that our religion is the religion of lenience, ease and justness, but this lenience must be within the legislated boundary, by acting upon the legislated permits when needed, and all the religion, and to Allaah belongs all praise, is free of hardship and restrictions. {Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope.} Al Baqarah: 286 {And [Allaah] has not laid upon you in religion any hardship} Al Hajj: 78 {Allaah does not want to place you in difficulty} Al Maa-idah: 6 Extremism in leniency is by overstepping the boundaries that Allaah has set, and this is not called lenience, rather this is hardship itself. Nullifying al Walaa and al Baraa in Islaam, equating the believers with the disbelievers with the justification of tolerance, invalidating the implementation of the nullifiers of one's Islaam upon those who have nullified all or some of them, equating religions such as equating Islaam to Judaism or Christianity, rather equating Islaam with all religions including paganism and atheism, claiming that 'there is no diety worthy of worship other than Allaah' does not necessitate the disbelief in Tahqhoot and does not negate false religions other than Islaam - as some columnists have written in some of our local newspapers. All of these are examples of extremism in negligence and indulgence. It is an obligation to refute it, just as it is an obligation to refute the extremism of exceeding the limits in the religion. Rather, extremism in negligence and indulgence is more dangerous than the extremism of exceeding the limits in the religion, because this type of extremism reaches the point of equating the religions of the disbelievers with the religion of truth, and this is a form of disbelief by the consensus of the scholars, in contrast to the extremism of exceeding the limits, as a lot of the scholars consider it to be misguidance but does not reach the level of disbelief. The scholars mentioned that from amongst the nullifiers of a person's Islaam, is not declaring disbelievers to be disbelievers or having doubt in that. Those who made these grave errors must examine their own state and return to the truth, for indeed returning to the truth is a virtue, and returning to the truth is better than remaining upon falsehood. May Allaah grant everyone success in attaining beneficial knowledge, righteous actions, and may the Salaat and Salaam be upon our prophet Muhammad, his family and companions.
