Nistisa I dont agree with dat. a Muslim is merciful and does not harm others, we our told he is not a believer if his neighbors don’t feel save from him. Just study the early history of Islam and look how the Muslims dealt with their adversaries and compare it to what happened for example in Fullijah they dragged corpses on the streets....blowing up buses, ect this is wrong....and against the teaching of our nabi pbuh. We don’t use our emotions but we follow the Quran and Sunnah....be committed to justice and be merciful....and seek patience in Allah. It is important to have an Islamic state which protects the Muslims....these days some Muslims feel they can take the law on their own hands. Fight tyranny and oppression this is righteous.....but follow the rules of war as outlined in the Quran and Sunnah....not the passion for revenage...Allah is on the side who those who do righteousness.

Chief Me your funny man rats protein. Mos def yo I got plans for Somalia inshallah....I am genius they need me but first I need to get my degree and make lotta money....only then can I help in productive way inshallah....somalia needs ppl with education and skills...not talkers but action...make it happen. Living in Somalia nope, for me my future inshallah is in arabiya....your home is where u can chill at and have happy life sxb and thats arabiya never felt like a “foreigner†and the land the ppl are mashallah......somali wa dad wareer iyo qaylo badan no joke.........I aint no sell out...but dats true thou... i lov my ppl still even with all the buuq about nonesense...headaches First we wait and see how the old-men play it out...many problems face Somalia. Not only unity....but the most important and fundamental part of any running state: The Economy.

wara me, I dont think I will fit in somalia yo I grew up in the US used it to it...UAE is not 3rd world country but by Allah I could not understand the somali ppl there, the somalis in somalia are harder to understand no? I never been to somalia...my cousin went to Galkaacyo.... he said it was like hell...couldnt survive man....and he is more "somali" then me. ps: He said he saw a rat big as sheep and ran like little B...and flies everywhere man...cant survive with dem geeljira peeps I think

^^^^I agree there is no use and wrong ppl died and for what?....but it had an effect....example canceling that opera in Germany, bluring faces, asking for police protection...ppl are scared to insult the important figures of Islam.....good or bad depends on who u ask. This subject is heated and will get worse....freedom of expression vs. religion/scared. The west sees nothing as scared and will ridicule anything and anyone....this of course is contrary to Muslim beliefs. salaamu lah

^^^Though I agree with u to a point Naden, however this is not about “dress of a womanâ€....its bigger. Across the world the symbols of Islam are being fought.....its an attack on the religion. Marka don’t down play its significance plz. JZK. Seeker sis u said: “What land are you expecting them to go to when slowly by slowly the nations that we consider muslims are selling out to secularism?†My answer it is important for the Muslims to make an Islamic state....what do u think the struggles across the earth are about? Its to bring about change....just as the tribes & Empires of the time of the Prophet fought the Muslims....today we are seeing the same. You also said: “Dare I even point out how that statement is wrong in almost any level†I don’t know how u interpreted my words I was just expressing my joy joy cha joy of seeing Muslims practice the religion...especially the Muslim Woman in these difficult times. And I agree change n action should come from the Muslims....we are in difficult times....but nothing compared to what the compaions faced. The more Muslims become strong in the deen-example here young british educated sisters taking up a more “conservative†clothing the more they will fight. They dislike that we should follow the religion...they want our woman and they don’t hide this fact to not follow the woman of the companions but dress like Beyonce and u are free....brothers act like 50ty and you are cool dude. We should reject it and hold on tight to Islam as Allah commanded us that is most important action. Nistisau said: "Don’t you see that they wish to portray us as uncivilized people, who only terrorize and abide to violence?" Sis....dont worry how they wish to portray us or what they call us, Allah Most High says it in the Quran they will never be satisfied with you until u leave your religion and follow their way. History shows who the civilized and uncivilized are. It was not the Muslims who enslaved millions of ppl, who killed millions of ppl, who nuked countries, who dumps toxics in poor nations. The Western Man has more blood on his hands then any other nation of the history of mankind....therefore they don’t need to teach us about being civilized. We were the ppl-that respected religions, never burnt churches, or houses of worship, we ruled spain for 700 yrs, India for centuries...where was so called barbarism? How about their Spanish Inquisition. Truth is when Islam was implemented correctly...every human being is respected....every right is protected...men and women. These current regimes are not Muslim...but tyrants supported by whom? Yes the democracy, freedom human-rights countries. Hyprocrisy is their creed.

Salaam Urban we agree then. Weather halal or haram I wont say Allah Knows best.....all I am saying is the way of our religion is the Quran and sunnah...nothing else is needed....in particular if it is excessive such as spending money, going to shows, the ppl who perform the shows...learning one ayat is more beneficial...so why not learn the Quran instead of songs? "And whosoever turns away from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allaah), We appoint for him Satan to be a companion for him. [43:36]." That is why u see Muslims committing sins....turning away of the Quran youre an easy target to do haram. Originally posted by Tami: Assalamu Alaikum, I've noticed that more and more muslims are becoming inspired and welcoming the arts[/b} into their lives. I don't know where we got the notion that a good form of music, in this case nasheeds, is prohibited in Islam. Alhamdulilah, that's all changing. First: Tami u refered to it as “artâ€....do u know how satan misleads human-beings? As the Quran informs us and the story of Adama and Hawa: he makes bad deeds appear good and gives good names to it even though Allah clearly prohibits it. Example: movies, music, dancing, illicit paintings/photos are called “artâ€....while following deen and being moral, dedicated to religion is called oldfashioned, outdated, uncool. Second u said its "all changing" well the Prophet said: “ From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse , the wearing of silk , the drinking of alcoholic drinks & the use of musical instruments as lawful.. ( Sahih Al bukhari , Vol 7 ) even though its unlawful and Allah Knows Best

why are u laughing...its not funny!!!! The faces of the young people were blurred in most of the footage. One cartoon appeared to depict the Prophet Mohammad as a camel, urinating and drinking beer. The competition took place in early August, according to Danish media. Thats right blur the faces or u have fatwa on your head! without those protests they will shit all over the Muslims. Strangers do not bow the heads to anyone but Allah!!!!.

^^^Why are u calling those countries “Muslims� A Muslim is one who follows the Quran and Sunnah....they are clearly fighting the deen...and their days are numbered. This is a war on Islam...in particular those who stick to the religion the sisters who wear the full hijabs and the brothers who grow the beards. What they want is for the Muslims to be only Muslims by Name n not by deeds....be moderates...scare them away from Islam by making it hard for them....integrate and abandon your religion. The World over since small group of elites control the new-world over. F that! If a Muslim can not practice his religion then he should make hijra to a land where he can freely worship or wage jihad against these puppets. Tabkir Allahu Akbar to the Muslims who take their religion seriously and fight for it......Islam is here in the West....many of the Muslims here were born here or are Westerners themselves marka it doesn’t make sense to say clear your homes first....the West is our home....and Muslims deserve their rights to be protected like every citizen. Much Love and respect to the Muslimahs who cover u are waging true jihad for Allahs sake.....and Allah award u jannah for it...u get silents dawah all the time from others....U make me proud....I feel my flag has been raised everytime I see a covered woman amidst nakedness. Allahu Akbar!

^^^I agree with Bush on one thing: right will prevail over evil. "And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: ‘We are only peacemakers.’ Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not." Al-Baqarah True!!! Originally posted by me: Khalaf I am not anti-Islamic. I am in favour of Islam and Islamic government actually if it will allow us Somalis to keep our culture and language and it lets us celebrate our heritage. I am against Arabism disguised as Islam. Somali Nationalism and Islam can go together. Somalinimo recognizes that Islam and only Islam is the only religion of Somalia and that our laws should be derived from our culture(xeer) and religion. SXB I don’t think u have correct understanding of Islam. But I will say this: There is Islam and there is Culture. If you are a Muslim (its different for non-muslims no compulsion in deen) but if u are Muslim that means u took a pledge: That none has right to be worshipped but Allah Alone and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah-then that means you pledge to leave anything including your beloved culture if it contradicts Islam. There is no compromise sxb, mixing culture with deen. The Messenger was sent to prefect our characters, marka we don’t follow our forefathers culture....but we follow the Messenger of Allah. Why is that hard to understand? Learn the history of Al-Khalifah-ur-Rashidun....then u will be able to tell truth from fake. Sxb u are a Muslim. You are not a non-Muslim. Muslims don’t force the deen on ppl, history testifies to this fact! But u are a Muslim. Somalia is a Muslim Society. Allah (S.W.T) said: You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind,.........Why are we the best peoples of mankind not because of Somalinimo, Arabnimo, or cultures but because Amr bil Ma'ruf wa Nahy an al Munkar Enjoy good and forbid wrong. Therefore the wadaads-the Muslims have command from Allah.....they will teach the deen to the ppl, install the laws of Allah...and get rid of that which is contary to the religion in the society. Success and failures come only from Allah....and haaq will prevail over falsehood. I support the ICU...I think they made mistakes and are not smart politically.... easy targets...dont worry about qabil.....but Uncle Sam. Something big will go down. I can see car bombs, blowing up buildings in the horizon....CIA will be working hard...but first head to head between the ICU and TFG/warlords let the somalis kill eachother!!!.....after a winner the CIA will set up something....who will be our Karzai? peaceout

We all know and heard those Nasheeds- Sami Yusuf and Islamic beats right. Ive seen ppl rocking to um...ppl see it as not big deal....lighten up dude. But it got me thinking. If I ask this question what will be your answer: Who should we as Muslims follow? Your answer rightfully would be the Messenger of Allah pbuh and his companions. Because the Quran says: "Indeed you have in the Messenger of Allaah an excellent example for the one who hopes in Allaah and looks to the Last Day." I have studied the Seerah of the Prophet and read stories of the Companions and I find men and women who were dedicated to learning, memorizing and reciting the Quran all the time and acting upon it(Shame on us-including myself! how many memorized songs but not the ayats of Allah). No where did I find incidents where they-the companions were listening to beats which has Islamic lyrics to increase ibadah! Allah knows best but I think these Nasheeds-Islamic music are innovations although the ppl who make it or those who listen to it may have good intentions. Why-because ppl are dedicating time to listening to these lyrics Islamic though may be...but not learning the Greatest Guidance: The Book of Allah. Think about these hadiths as it relates to the popularity of “Islamic Pop Culture-those islamic songs, HIP Hop, nasheeds, ectâ€: "Whosoever does an action which we have not commanded then it will be rejected," [Muslim] and also, "Whosoever introduces into this religion of ours that which is not part of it then it must be rejected." [Ahmad] Rasulallaah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said, "I warn you of the newly invented-matters (in the religion), and every newly-invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in Hellfire." [an-Nisaa'ee] Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said, "Every act of worship which the Companions did not do, do not do it." [Abu Dawud] Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "Every innovation is misguidance, even if the people regard it as good." [ad- Daarimee] Marka think about that ppl: Although this may be seen as not big deal it is big deal: we the Muslims should reject anything which we didnt find the Messenger and his companions doing. We should strive hard to memorize the Quran and not lyrics of Sami Yusuf. And Allah Knows Best.

lol Me did u read about no nationalism-triblism-somalinimo in a state check out this website: http://www.islamworld.net/ read: Signs of Day of Judgment and Life After Death. and let me know what u think. cool? Also as Muslims we shouldnt worry much about the end of days...our goal should be to follow the Quran with Knowledge and behave like the Prophet in deeds and in character. The Prophet pbuh said: be in the world as though you were a stranger or traveler. Thus know we are only here temporally...thats more important but check out the website.

Long but informative The Prohibition of Nationalism (triblism) in Islam: Nationalism is a concept alien to Islam because it calls for unity based on family and tribalistic ties, whereas Islam binds people together on the `Aqeedah, that is belief in Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw). Islam calls for the ideological bond. Grouping the Muslims on tribalistic lines is clearly forbidden. It is narrated by Abu Da'wud that the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said, "He is not one us who calls for `Asabiyyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyyah or who dies for `Asabiyyah." And in another Hadith, the Messenger of Allah (saaw) referring to nationalism, racism, and patriotism said: "Leave it, it is rotten." [Muslim and Bukhari] Also, the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said, narrated by At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud, "There are indeed people who boast of their dead ancestors; but in the sight of Allah they are more contemptible than the black beetle that rolls a piece of dung with its nose. Behold, Allah has removed from you the arrogance of the Time of Jahiliyyah (Ignorance) with its boast of ancestral glories. Man is but an Allah-fearing believer or an unfortunate sinner. All people are the children of Adam, and Adam was created out of dust." Also, the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said, "Undoubtedly Allah has removed from you the pride of arrogance of the age of Jahilliyah (ignorance) and the glorification of ancestors. Now people are of two kinds. Either believers who are aware or transgressors who do wrong. You are all the children of Adam and Adam was made of clay. People should give up their pride in nations because that is a coal from the coals of Hell-fire. If they do not give this up Allah (swt) will consider them lower than the lowly worm which pushes itself through Khara (dung)." [Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi] There are many examples in the Seerah where the Messenger of Allah (saaw) had rebuked those who upheld nationalism. One one occasion a party of Jews conspired to bring about disunity in the ranks of the Muslims after seeing the Aus and Khazraj within Islam. A youth from amongst them was sent to incite remembrance of the battle of Bu'ath where the Aus had been victorious over the Khazraj, and he recited poetry to bring about division between them. As a result there was a call to arms. When the news reached the Messenger of Allah (saaw), he (saaw) said, "O Muslims, remember Allah, remember Allah. Will you act as pagans while I am present with you after Allah has guided you to Islam, and honored you thereby and made a clean break with paganism; delivered you thereby from disbelief; and made you friends thereby?" When they heard this they wept, and embraced each other. This incident clearly highlights how the Messenger of Allah (saaw) rebuked any forms of tribalism. Allah (swt) then revealed, "O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except in a state of Islam with complete submission to Allah. And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of Allah (i.e. Qur'an), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favors on you; for you were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace you became brothers; and you were on the brink of the pit of fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allah make His signs clear to you that you may be guided." [surah Al'Imran (3); ayah 102-103] It is narrated by Qatada that Ibnu Abi Hathim said that in the verses quoted above Allah (swt) has ordered the Muslims to hold fast to the book of Allah, His Deen, and to his covenant, and He has forbidden the Muslims to divide amongst themselves and to dispute with each other. In another incident, Jabir ibn `Abd Allah al Ansari, narrated what happened at the watering place of al Muraysi which led to the Munafiqun stirring up the traces of `Asabiyyah and seeking to destroy the unity of the Muslims. He said: "We were on a raid when one of the Muhajirun kicked one of the Ansar. The Ansar said, `O Ansar! Help me! (calling his tribe) and the Muhajir said, `O Muhajirun! Help me! (calling his tribe). The Messenger of Allah (saaw) heard them and said, "Why are you stirring up something which belongs to Jahilliyah?" The Messenger of Allah (saaw) did not deal with the situation only by speaking to his men, but he walked with the men all that day until nightfall, and through the night until morning and during the following day until the sun distressed them. Then he halted them, and as soon as they touched the ground, they fell asleep. He did this to distract their minds from what had transpired. It is transmitted by at-Tabarani and al-Hakim that in one incident some people spoke very lowly about Salman al-Farsi. They spoke of the inferiority of the Persian in relation to the Arabs, and upon hearing this the Messenger of Allah (saaw) declared, "Salman is from us, the ahl al-bayt (the Prophet's family)." This statement of the Messenger of Allah (saaw) disassociates all links based on lineage and tribal considerations. It was also transmitted, in two different versions, by Ibn al-Mubarak in his two books, Al-Birr and As-Salah, that some disagreement occurred between Abu Dharr and Bilal and Abu Dharr said to Bilal, "You son of a black woman." The Messenger of Allah (saaw) was extremely upset by Abu Dharr's comment, so he (saaw) rebuked him by saying, "That is too much, Abu Dharr. He who has a white mother has no advantage which makes him better than the son of a black mother." This rebuke had a profound effect on Abu Dharr, who then put his head on the ground swearing that he would not raise it until Bilal had put his foot over it. These incidents demonstrate that tribal ties have no place in Islam. Muslims are commanded to stick together and not to disassociate themselves from each other just because they come from different tribes. The Messenger of Allah (saaw) also said, "The believers, in their love, mutual kindness, and close ties, are like one body; when any part complains, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever." [Muslim], "The faithful are like one man: if his eyes suffers, his whole body suffers." [Muslim], "An Arab is no better than a non-Arab. In return, a non-Arab is no better than an Arab. A red raced man was not better than a black one except in piety. Mankind are all Adam's children and Adam was created out of clay." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim, on the authority of Abu Musa] Meaning that the Muslims, whether they are of Chinese, African, European or Asian origin, are one Ummah and they cannot be separated from each other. No tribalistic ties should ever break their unity. Furthermore, Allah (swt), says, The Faithful are but brothers..." [surah Al-Hujurat (49): ayah 10] And the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said, "The Faithful are to one another like [parts of] a building - each part strengthening the others" and "Every Muslim is a brother to a Muslim, neither wronging him nor allowing him to be wronged. And if anyone helps his brother in need, Allah will help him in his own need; and if anyone removes a calamity from [another] Muslim, Allah will remove from him some of the calamities of the Day of Resurrection; and if anyone shields [another] Muslim from disgrace, Allah will shield him from the disgrace on the Day of Resurrection." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim, on the authority of `Abd Allah ibn `Umar] Some people claim that the Messenger of Allah (saaw) approved of nationalism because during the migration to Madinah, he (saaw) said about Makkah with tears in his (saaw) eyes, "You are the most beloved land of Allah to me." However, this saying has nothing to do with nationalism, and this can be seen from the full saying which people often do not quote, "You are the most beloved land of Allah to me because you are the most beloved land of Allah to Allah." The Messenger of Allah's (saaw) love for Makkah was based on the noble status that Allah (swt) has given to Makkah, and not because he (saaw) was born there. All Muslims should have this love and affection for Makkah because it is the most beloved land in the sight of Allah (swt). After all, the Muslims pray towards Makkah and go there to perform Hajj there as it houses the Ka'ba. The above saying of the Messenger of Allah (saaw) therefore has nothing to do with nationalism. If Rasoolillah (saaw) and the Muhajireen amongst the Sahabah (raa) were tied to the homeland (of Makkah), they would have settled in Makkah after it became part of the Islamic State. Not only does Islam forbid people from grouping on nationalistic ties, but it also prohibits the establishment of more than one state, whether these states are based on nationalism or otherwise. The only state that is allowed for the Muslims is the Islamic State, which is a state that is governed exclusively by Islam. Allah (swt) addressed the Messenger (saaw), "And rule between them by that which Allah revealed to you, and do not follow their vain desires away from the truth which came to you" [surah Al-Maidah(5): ayah 48] and, "And rule between them by that which Allah revealed to you and do not follow their whims, and beware (be on the alert) that they may deviate you away from even some part of what Allah revealed to you." [surah Al-Maidah (5): ayah 49] The speech of Allah (swt) to the Messenger (saaw) is a speech to his (saaw) Ummah unless specific evidence comes to restrict this. In this case, there is no such restriction, and so it becomes obligatory for the Muslims to rule according to Islam. And ruling according to Islam leaves no room for nationalistic constitutions whatsoever because what is applied, and what forms the criteria for judgement, is the Book of Allah (swt) and the Sunnah of the Messenger (saaw). Ruling according to Islam can only be achieved in one state, with one Khalifah. It is reported in Muslim that `Abdullah ibn `Amr ibn al-'As narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saaw) say, "He who gave the bay'ah to an Imam, giving him the clasp of his hand and the fruit of his heart has to obey him as long as he can. If another comes to dispute with him (his authority) strike the neck of that person." Abu Said al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said, "If a bay'ah is taken for two Khalifahs, kill the latter one." And `Arfaja said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (saaw) say, "If someone comes to you when you are united over one man and wants to break your strength and divide your unity, kill him." This unity of the Muslims was clearly highlighted in the document that the Messenger of Allah (saaw) wrote when he established the Islamic State in Madinah. In this document, which was to regulate the relationships of Muslims and non-Muslims in the Islamic State, the Messenger of Allah (saaw) said regarding the Muslims, "Allah's covenant amongst them is one" and "The Believers are brothers to the exclusion of others" and "The peace of the believers is indivisible. No separate peace shall be made with believers are fighting in the way of Allah." These statements serve to indicate that Muslims are one body and they are not to be treated separately. Furthermore, the obligation of having one state, and not many nationalistic states, also comes from the Ijma' of the Sahabah. When the Messenger of Allah (saaw) died, the Sahabah (raa) convened to discuss the appointment of the Khalifah in the courtyard of Bani Sa'ida. One person had proposed that the Ansar should elect their own Amir and the Muhajireen their own, but Abu Bakr (ra) narrated the Hadith that forbids the Ummah from having more than one leader. Thus, the Sahabah (raa) never allowed more than one ruler and their consensus is a legitimate evidence for us. Islam therefore leaves no room for the Saudi state, and Egyptian state, a Malaysian state, an Iraninan state, or a Pakistani state. Islam calls for one state with one ruler where all Muslims are bound by the `Aqeedah of Islam. And this is a matter deciddd by Islam to which we must submit to, for Allah (swt) says, "O mankind, verily We have created you from a male and a female, and made you peoples and tribes, so that you may recognize each other. Verily, the most honored of you to Allah is (he who) safeguards himself against evil with full awareness of Divine Laws. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware." [surah Al Hujurat (49): ayah 13] This verse was revealed immediately after the triumphant entry of the Prophet (saaw) into Makkah. After the declaration of immunity to the Quraysh, the Prophet (saaw) requested Bilal (ra) to give the Adhan. A group of three new Muslims were observing the proceedings when Bilal (ra) was asked to make the Adhan. One of them remarked how happy he was that his parents were not present to see such a disgusting sight. Another one, Harith bin Hisham commented that the Prophet (saaw) couldn't find anybody other than a black crow to make the Adhan. The third one, Abu Sufyan, abstained from making any adverse comment, stating that if he said anything, Allah (swt) would send a revelation to Muhammad (saaw) addressing his statement. Allah (swt) sent Jibreel (as) to inform the Prophet (saaw) of the discussion that had just taken place. The prophet (saaw) asked the three men about their conversation, who confirmed to the Prophet (saaw) what Jibreel (as) told him. The verse of the Qur'an was subsequently revealed. Because these individuals from the Quraysh were differentiating between themselves and Bilal (ra), Allah (swt) revealed this verse, concluding that the only criteria that Allah (swt) uses to judge between Muslims is that of Taqwa, which Bilal (ra) had and of which they were devoid of. This verse destroys the basis of nationalism in Islam. In the first part of the Ayah, Allah (swt) revealed to humanity that all human beings were created from a single pair - Adam and Eve. This statement clearly refutes any claim of certain people that humans came from animals through the process of evolution or any other such claim. The part of the Ayah, "..and made you peoples and tribes, so that you may know each other..." is usually misinterpreted as `nations and tribes' to justify the differences created by the existing borders, specifically in the Muslim World. In addition, such misinterpretations are also used to encourage Muslims to foster pride in these affiliations. Unfortunately, these Muslims quickly jump to conclusions without looking at what Allah (swt) says. The errant understanding of this Ayah attempts to legitimize the current situation of the Muslim Ummah as many nations - divided and powerless - resulting from the destruction of the Khilafah state on March 3rd, 1924 by the puppet of the Kuffar, Mustafa Kamal. Furthermore, such a misunderstanding lends legitimacy to the continued division of the already divided Muslim lands that occurred throughout the twentieth century, with the division of the Indian Subcontinent into Indian, Pakistani and Kashmiri regions; the further division of Pakistan into two countries with the creation of Bangladesh; and the renting asunder of the last Islamic Khilafah by the British agent Sykes and the French agent Picot during World War I in which they used the pencil and ruler to divide the Muslim Ummah. "It is not for a believer (male or female) that when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any choice in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in plain error." [surah Al-Ahzab (33): ayah 36] And those who still uphold nationalism, remember what Allah (swt) says, "And let those who oppose the Messenger's commandment beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials,afflictions,...) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them." [surah An-Nur (24): ayah 63] And Allah Knows Best

"Speaking in tongues, weeping for salvation, praying for an end to abortion and worshipping a picture of President Bush — these are some of the activities at Pastor Becky Fischer's Bible camp in North Dakota, "Kids on Fire," subject of the provocative new documentary, "Jesus Camp." "I want to see them as radically laying down their lives for the gospel as they are in Palestine, Pakistan and all those different places," Fisher said. "Because, excuse me, we have the truth." do we the muslims look this funny to others of course there will be atheists if religion looks like this! Jesus Camp But truth is distinct from falsehood...nothing is like Islam...all ways are false...why because of reason not just because!

THAT’S the word on the street I heard and Allah knows best….something big is going down in Kismaayo….the courts have made dumb mistakes! ps: Ramadaan Kariim to all the ummahta islamiya

Blue sister my high school coach told us on first practice: I do not coach quitters/losers but only winners. U dont need education or dawa program to know smoking weed while having family is wrong…or taking the ways of kufar peeps is wrong…these ppl know they just dont care. U can only educate/help those who want to listen and change. Originally posted by BlueEpocha: As for your comment of the somali people as the problem can I just say WHOA [/QB] Why whoa? Its fact….if problems exist its the fault of the ppl of the community ie Somalis.

You cant say that atheer for an unbeliever even if they are the best of mankind: Allah says: "Nor do you ever pray for any of them that dies, nor stand at his grave, for they rejected Allah and His Messenger," Qur'an 9.84 "It is not fitting for the Prophet and those who believe to pray for forgiveness for pagans, even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are companions of the Fire. And Ibrahim prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he (his father) was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him." Qur'an 9.113-114 This is wrong...and anyone who sheds blood unlawfully will be punished by Allah.

^^^Walaalhi Pucca? is it offensive? Its funny, I take it down if u find it offensive

Edit: I remembered this quote of Omar ra: "I am Suprised at three things, Man runs from death while death is inevitable. One sees minor fautlts of others but overlooks his major faults. When there is any defect to one's cattle he tries to cure it, but does not cure his own defects." Haram to talk about others! May Allah Forgive All of Us, Ramadan Kariim! peace out

Originally posted by BlueEpocha: Fact is the problem of drinking and substance abuse is a blaring reality in the Somali community of the diaspora, and that statement just makes the problem even that much bigger. Instead of educating our fellow brothers and sisters and helping them when they find themselves in those situations we choose to shun them. We have a beautiful deen that can accept people at their worst with repentance, and yet we judge. Don't you realize that your making it okay for them by ignoring the problem and outcasting them? I'm not referring to you personally, this goes for all of us who look the other way instead of facing the problem head on. But I want you to know that this exists, and your statement doesn't help. Thank you Blue for the wisdom. I dont know much about the Somali community but as according to u there is a problem that exists….that is contrary to the religion. Substance abuse, social problems such as our Muslim families resembling kufar families, ect. Here is where I disagree with you on course of action to slove these problems. U have said its best to educate these troubled brothers/sisters and help them instead of judging. While I agree its wrong to judge, I dont think we should waste energy in helping them. My sister every human being is born with an intellect….u know right from wrong…we are not like the animals who submit to their whims. If these ppl who come from a history of poverty and by the Help of Allah have been given a second chance in a land of opportunity….found it in their head to smoke weed, or act like the worst of the society then there is no education or amount of dawa u can give that will help. I know a brother that doesnt pray…..I told him fadlak turn to Allah make salat: he told me to pray for him….he knows the Quran….and What Allah commanded! Only Allah changes ppl…. the imam at my masjid said dont try to change old ppl that includes anyone after puberty….(in Islam u are an adult once u reach puberty not 18 like Western systems) they already have their minds set….but start with the kids. There is no justification to blame these societal ills on the environment-ie America. The problem is not the society but the ppl of the community-the somalis!

Adeer min fadlak I am not brainwashed by reer seef labood. What makes one a Muslim brothers? It is the testimony of Islam that there is no diety worthy of worship but Allah Alone and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah right? With this statement comes a heavy reasonability-deeds. When one makes wudu there are certain actions which break the wudu right? The same with the testimony of Islam. Allah's Apostle said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it; and if he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he drinks an alcoholic drink, he is not a believer at the time of drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder." I suppose we all heard and can understand hadiths, here is few which speak of the issue: Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais:I went to help that man (i.e., 'Ali), and on the way I met Abu Bakra who asked me, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I am going to help that man." He said, "Go back, for I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'If two Muslims meet each other with their swords then (both) the killer and the killed one are in the (Hell) Fire.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is alright for the killer, but what about the killed one?' He said, 'The killed one was eager to kill his opponent." Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: The Prophet said, "After me (i.e. after my death), do not become disbelievers, by striking (cutting) the necks of one another. “ Another saying is he who fights for pride, family, honor, tribe and is killed for it, dies the death of Jahiliyya-pre Islam-polythesist death-many Somalis have died the death of jahiliya! Brothers we know Allah is Most Merciful and forgives Whom He Wills but let us not take the crimes that were committed lightly, they are great crimes and as Allah described in the Noble Quran and shown by the example of the Prophet pbuh the true believers are they: Allah's Apostle (s) said, "You see the believers as regard their being merciful among themselves, showing love among themselves, and being kind among themselves, resembling one body; so that, if any part of the body is not well, then the whole body shares the sleeplessness and fever with it." [sahih al-Bukhari; Vol. 8, #40] Believers do not shed blood unlawfully, rape women…and commit treachery…as done by Somalis to other Somalis…if this is not equal to unbelief in Allah then I dont know what is! Allah knows Best! Important: Sharif bro and others 10 things which Negates Ones Islam
