Salaama All, Last anony...to answer your question Here is what I got from a Fatwa Site...Hope it's helpful to you!! Ma'salaama .................................... Masturbation (for both men and women) is haraam (forbidden) in Islam based on the following evidence: First from the Qur’aan: Imam Shafi’i stated that masturbation is forbidden based on the following verses from the Qur’aan (interpretation of the meaning): "And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, - for them, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors." 23.5-7 Here the verses are clear in forbidding all illegal sexual acts (including masturbation) except for the wives or that their right hand possess. And whoever seeks beyond that is the transgressor. "And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah enriches them of His bounty." 24.33. This verse also clearly orders whoever does not have the financial means to marry to keep himself chaste and be patient in facing temptations (including masturbation) until Allah enriches them of His bounty. Secondly, from the sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him): Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood said, "We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatsoever. So Allaah’s Messenger said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power." Bukhari:5066. The hadeeth orders men who are not able to marry to fast despite the hardship encountered in doing so, and not to masturbate despite the ease with which it can be done!! Whoever seeks chastity Allaah will make him chaste, and whoever seeks help from none but Allaah, He will help him, and whoever is patient He will make it easy for him, and no one has ever been given anything better than patience." Bukhari:1469. Allah knows best..........

Salaama All, The most important everlasting thing in human being as a whole is moral value, disposition and his/her genuine commitment to be a real Muslim that follows the footprints of our prophet ( salalahu-alaihi wasalam) and his companions... everything else can be and should be overlooked! Ma'salaama

Ismahaan thanks for sharing sis, Jaza'aka alaa Khayrat! Ma'salaama

Salaama All, Brotha Faahie.....These are the answers I got from a fatwa center after asking the same question...Basically, Working for a Non- Muslim Bank is Haraam or any Other Work that sells wine,pork, or Takes/charges Riba(interest)..Hope it's Helpful to you.. Ma'salaama........................... 1.Praise be to Allah, the lord of the Worlds: and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Working in a bank that does not comply, in its operations, with Islamic law is not allowed. The bank worker, in this case, has either to deal directly with usury contracts himself or to participate in carrying out such operations by helping other colleagues in writing or documentation. All this is forbidden. Allah says: (Help you one another in virtue and righteousness. But do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily Allah is severe in punishment). (5: 2). It is narrated in a sound Hadith that prophet Muhammad. Cursed the person who eats Riba (usury and interest) the one who feeds with Riba, the one who writes it and its two witnesses. He said: “All of them are equal in sin” narrated by MUSLIM. What you should do then is do your best to find a lawful job that you could do. You should not link that job to banking or o ther areas. The condition should be only to find another job that is lawful and that you could carry out. We would like to draw your attention to two points: First, saying this job does not fit me is not an excuse in front of Allah, that could save you from His anger and punishment. Second, that anybody who fears Allah abiding by His orders and avoiding His prohibitions, Allah will make a way for him. Allah says: (and whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get our (from every difficulty) and He will provide him from sources, he could never imagine). (65:2). 2.. Always a Muslim’s aim should the hereafter life. He should prefer the coming life to this life.This life is very short and soon will end. But the real life is the hereafter, which is endless. So you know the usury is prohibited in Islam, all companies, bank etc. dealing with usury are forbidden in Islam. Allah almighty said: “ help you one another in AL-BIRE and AL-TAQWA (Virtue) but do not help one another in sin and transgression”. Your work with them is real cooperation. Prophet cursed the one who consumes riba (Interest), the one who gives it, the one who writes it down and the one who witnesses it. He said: “all of them are equal in sin”. 3.Employment in any capacity is forbidden in any bank which accepts usury. In fact, this is a real cooperation in sin and transgression. Allah has said in this regard: ( Help you one another in virtue, righteous and piety but do no help one another in sin and transgression). [5:2]. Imam Muslim narrated from Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) he said that the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed the one who consumes Riba (usury/ interest) the one who gives it to others, the one who writes it down and the one who witnesses it. He said: All of them are equal in sin". [sahih Muslim]. This threat is for the one who works in a usury - taking bank. Let alone if that bank is freemasonic one. You should fear Allah, avoid this work and seek another legal job. Indeed Allah will make it easy for you. Insha Allah. Allah Says (Inte rpretation of meaning): (and whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter easy for him). [65:4]. And Allah Says (Interpretation of meaning): (And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allâh, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allâh will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allâh has set a measure for all things).[65:2-3].

Salaama All, True luv for me is Loving each other unconditionally!!

Salaama All, Mr.Jibriil....You know what? I've Nothing I mean Nothing but LOVE for my Fellow Nomdaz! Unfortunately, I did met with few that I disliked their actions very much However, It's not a major issue, I shouldn't B*tch about 'em on the Net.... Unlike some plp...lol....You see, the actions of 'few' shouldn't be used against the large majority walaalo, each person is Individual and they should be dealt with as such! Besides...what good will I get insulting my own Brothers?? absolutely Nothing!! Their Good elements makes me look good too, and Vise versa....so dearest, I won't stoop to your level, Hadii aad adigu xumaanto noogarataye, caqligaagaa intaa ku siiyeye....but I ain't mad at ya!! Horaa looyir Caws Jilaal waa Lagama Huraan.. Regardless of our 'shortcomings' We have to be Patient with one another, after all No one or 'group' of People is Perfect!! Somali men need their women and somali women need their men more then any other group of plp.. the catch is to find someone that matches your criteria.... Also, Mohamed Jamac... It would be really nice if you don't turn this into Somaliland women Vs. Somaliwayne...it's not where you from it's how you 'conduct' yourself... as they say Lax walba kobtaye is dhigtaa lagu gawracaa!! we have the Good,the bad and EASY in every group of plp regardless of their Locations.. so plz stick with topic!!

Salaama All, Horaa Looyiri Wixii XUNBA XAAWA LEH!! Why do I keep Hearing women this and women that? What about the MEN? you guy's say Somali girls/women are not the way our 'mothers' use to be? How about the men? you guy's are not like the way our 'fathers' were either!! .........First of all, Like i said b4... Not everyone DESERVES to Be PRAISED! I'm not blind to this so called 'truth' their are some messed up sisters everwhere, and to be frank there are as much or perhaps even more messed up brothers all over the Place! so lets not blame the girls/women only!!.... 2nd thing is, whenever a guy has an encounter with these messed up indiviuals why do they 'generalize' and make it that we all got the same disease as his EX-Xawo?? Lets be FAIR here? if we are gonna discuss/debate this issue in a 'civilized' matter then we have to talk and discuss all the different angles to this problem! That means, we have to talk about 'em boyz/men tooooooo! Lets be honest here my dear farax's you aint all that either and some of you are ZERO's, who think they're Heroe's......TRUTH BE TOLD.......... Ma'salaama

Mr. Jibriil................If Khadija dumped you, and xawo Faarah did too, then the girls are not at fault, Heck No they are not Mr. It's your own "stupidity" and 'arrogance' that this had to happen to U. so don't blame the girls. it takes 2 to tango my friend~ I admit not everyone deserves to be 'praised' but don't you dare generalize..... "they have nothing in common with normal women"..........Normal women? you mean the 'women of the WEST'...who will open their legs faster then a bullet, who will sleep with 24 other men including ya father, on the same time? who will throw you out the minute they find someone with a bigger wallet??. Plzzzzzzzzzz Save us the Drama, the STD's and all that other Sh*t they spread around and do date these "normal women" heck marry them if ya want! for all we care!! First of all, either you're still wearing your diapers or you're one 'Shallow' Faarah! sorry to put you down like this.... but this is what happens when you bite off more than you can chew!! Nobody put a gun on you head to date these 'abnormal' women , do what you like but plz don't disrespect your sisters!!.. I think the 'problem' is Somali women are too kind! too loving, too caring, too wonderful and this is what happens to them when they take you brothers in "sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, in good times and in the bad times, as Ugly or Handsome, for Richer or Poorer till death do you apart".. Who on earth will stand by their Man 100% even if he is nothing but a LOOSER?.. SOMALI Women that is? and what do they get in return?.....Nothing but Disrespect!! Waxba maa'aha Lakiin , Aduunyadu Waa Harka la badiisa galine! What goes around Comes around! when you 60 with heart problems, and in NURSING homes(cuz there is no way in hell that, that non-somali B*tch will take care of ya) you'll know how good our women were to you and ARE! and you will finish your remaining dayz living in regret and everlastingly misery!....... Amiin to that! There is an Arabic Maahmaah that translates to "He who is not good to his kind(people)Won't be good to another!! and that is the truth............ You were right about one thing though, THE TRUTH DOES HURT!! I'm out......

Lol... MMA.... When are you gonna get to the 'point' of this letter? It sounds sweet but, a simple Hi or Hello, Or salaan qiimo iyo qaayo badan iga gudoon! salaan ka bacdi....... or Waan ku salaamaye.. I think would have done it!.. I don't know who that is, but I would like to know it @ JABER! Ma'salaama

Salaama again, lol@ Abdinuur..."It is better to be beautiful than to be good"... personally, I think it's better to have both! but if you can't? Then it's better to be Good..then to be a body without character!..but hey Keep in mind this is just my opinion and I am not trying to make you sign a disclaimer for it.Aight? They say..."Character contributes to beauty...A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful." Ma'salaama

Salaama All, Everyone has their own definition of what is 'hot'(beautiful) and what is not... also, plp who are from the same sex(gender) may not 'see' things the same..... for instance My gf's and I don't even have the same taste when it comes to beauty?....as they say.. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!! Ma'salaama

Salaama all, Yes Onkod his name is Macalin Mohamed!! just curious to why U asked though?

Salaama All, I read this Somewhere, I thought it would be helpful to the "BROTHA's" since they always complain about the Ladyz telling 'em they think of 'em as Their Brothers!..... Ma'salaama and enjoy!... Friends or Lovers? The Brother Phenomenon by Curt Degenhart What happens when you want to ask a friend out on a date, but you're scared you'll hear, "No, thanks"? What can you do when potential mates think of you less like a lover and more like a brother? This time out, we address the issue of what happens when you're perceived to be more fit for friendship than dating. It all started with a letter from a Tools reader named Max, who wrote: What can you do when women--all women--seem to think of you as nothing more than a friend? I mean, being friends is good, but I'd like to get into a relationship at *some* point in my life... First of all, Max, don't be too hard on yourself. Being 'just friends' is an all too common problem these days when, more than ever, fewer people actually go out on dates, opting instead simply to 'hang out,' pick up a coffee, or take in a movie, all the while acting as if there's no date happening. The line between dating and just hanging around is blurry--and that's where your dilemma starts. When You Become Like a Brother To Her Have you ever noticed that friends often don't arouse strong romantic feelings in some of us? They may seem perfect in all sorts of ways: funny, great to be around, smart, trustworthy, similar, and familiar. But no matter how hard we try, they just don't arouse strong romantic feeling in us? This is what I'd like to call the Brother Phenomenon, as when women say to you, "Oh. I could never go out with you--you're like a brother to me." And you know what happens when you go out with your brother. Taboo city. Maybe this is why women can't seem to get past the friendship phase with you. I think this phenomenon occurs because people linger too long in the getting-to-know- you phase, without getting clear right away about whether their time together are 'real dates' or 'just hanging out.' Haven't you ever felt the initial rush of interest for a new friend, but then suppressed those feelings because you thought that she didn't act interested? But it could be that she felt passion for you, way back when you first started hanging out. You just couldn't see it. Time passed, and now you're like a brother to her. She's known you so long--as nothing more than a friend--and you're no longer romantically exciting. Get the picture? Get Out of the Rut--Fast So what can you do to stop becoming a brother and start being a lover? Don't dawdle too long at the friendship stage. If your friend has any romantic feelings for you at all, you'll have to take advantage of the window of opportunity. Ask early, or be prepared to miss the chance. Picking the right time is essential: somewhere after the "getting to know you" stage but before she starts telling you about all the men she's really interested in. When she starts confiding, "I had an awful date last night," be ready to step in right away, and tell her how you feel about her. Making the switch from friends to lovers isn't easy. You might not be up to the challenge since it is risky. What if you lose the relationship entirely? That might happen. But if yours is a good friendship, it will survive. And don't the potential gains outweigh the risks? Just do it. Otherwise, you'll always be stuck as a brother, wishing the man she dates were you.
