Oh, you aint seen nothing yet.

Togane is a nitwit, I wonder who would take comfort in being complimented by a nitwit. Togane is reading the somalis guide to survivng changing regimes, sub-tittled just incase Ina yeey becomes president.

Now this is nice: Gediid said: Mugabe is a true example of an African dictator.I guess Africans don't really care about his record so long as he defies the white man he's a great leader but for the record when ZANU took over in 1981,Zimbabwe was by far one of the wealthier nations in Africa now they are one of the poorest.Ironic that the man who took that nation from wealthy to poor in a record 12 or 14 years would be voted the 3rd greatest African leader. Mugabe has always been a dictator, the diffrence is when he was suppresing the left leaning ndebele and shona revolts dedicated to doing what is now being done, he was considered by the west as a paragon of a democrat, things have changed only because the western intreasts have been directly attacked by mugabe, in his taking over of white owned farm land. After 20 years of liberal western propoganda an african leader defiying the white man brings on a fit of giggles in most people, but to be sure in africa and specially in the situtation of zimbabwe inspite of the tribal tensions the U.K is creating their, the restoration of land to their proper owners is the only revolution the african sees and the only philosophy that directly affects him. Every african nation has inspite of listening and applying I.M.F economic prinicipals seen a year on year decline in G.D.P and personal income levels, I would think that would be more marked in 2 cash crop econmy like Zimbabwe's more so an economy that has also been facing economic sanctions scince 1997. What is the wealth you describe Zimbabwe as having? White farmers repatriating billions over seas, and indian traders doing the same in the cities, while the african limits himself to manual labour in both city and country side? That is not wealth, that's a comedy many africans are getting tired of acting. With the white man in control of the farms Zimbabwe had enough food but now that Mugabe has given away the land to their "rightful owners"(a bunch of his cronies who have no wish nor the know how to farm)Zimbabwe now has to beg for food The white man in zimbabwe never and i repeat never, harvested corn or othe basic foods for the populace they were all with out a doubt as all parasitical agricultural entreprenuers in africa fariming and harvesting cash-crops in this case TOBBACO. Consequently the population of Zimbabwe has always lived on the minute part of arable land farmed by african peaseants for the daily supply of sustenance, that a white farmer would grow millet for market is a fallacy we can all see the idiocy in repeating. Much of the land in zimbabwe has been returned to africans, in the form of plots or community allotments, that prime real estate has been grabbed is also true but the balance is overwhelmingly on the side of the peasent, that has increased his acreage and financial stability. Zimbabwe suffered a food shortage one that affected most S.A.D.C [southern african development community countries, indeed in the final analysis it seemed all the begging came not from Zimbabwe but rather the bleeding heart lobbies in the west who need to put down another payment on their VX engined toyota landcruisers. Mugabe more than most african leaders deserves to be in the top 10.

Somalia does not need a new party, you can have your pick from the countless alphabet soup parties mis-representing somalis at every foreign sponsored festival promoted under the name of somali reconciliation. Also yours would not be the first qurbaha based association of hallucinators that believe that affecting the grass roots some how involves posting pics of themselves with has been western politicians or minor E.U officials. Besides, party means tribe in somalia, another thing that peopled schooled on western politics fail to realize.

Congratulations.

Of all the myriad of problems facing the african continent some grandstanding from his excellency the hallucinator gets our attention? Besides language is a communicates it esscence is up to you. I think swahili will not be implemented as an A.U language for the simple reason that the beuracrats will bury it and continue with night life off Addis. Pathetic But I aint wrong.

Thats sad.

Al-'Aqeedah al-Waasitiyah Shaikh al-Islaam Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah Biography of Ibn Taymiyyah Taqi ud-Din Abu-l-'Abbas Ahmad Ibn 'Abd al-Halim Ibn 'Abd as-Salam Ibn Taimiyah al-Harrani al-Hanbali, was born on Monday the 10th of Rabi' al-Awwal 66l H./22nd of January 1263 C.E. at Harran. His father fled with his family from Harran to Damascus in the year 667 H./1268 C.E. out of fear of the Tatars who invaded the land of Islam and were very close to Harran. In Damascus, the center of Islamic studies at that time, Ahmad Ibn Taimiyah followed in the footsteps of his father who was a scholar of Islamic studies by studying with the great scholars of his time, among them a woman scholar by the name Zainab bint Makki who taught him hadith. He completed his studies when he was a teenager and at age 19 he became a professor of Islamic studies. Well versed in Qur'anic studies, Hadith, fiqh, theology, Arabic grammar and scholastic theology, etc., he started giving fatwas on religious legal matters without following any of the traditional legal schools, the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali. He defended the sound prophetic traditions by arguments which, although taken from the Qur'an and the Sunnah, had hitherto been unfamiliar to people of his time. The freedom of his polemics made him many enemies among the scholars of the traditional Orthodox Schools, who falsely accused him, of all kinds of heretical beliefs. Among them was the famous Muslim medieval traveler, Ibn Batutah, who visited Damascus while Ibn Taimiyah was in jail. This did not hinder Ibn Batutah in testifying in his book that "he witnessed Ibn Taimiyah on the pulpit saying, 'every night Allah descends to the lower heaven like my descent', and he descended one step down the pulpit".1 From reading this 'aqidah we learn that Ibn Taimiyah accepted the attributes of Allah without questioning (bi-la kaifa).2 He fought heretical innovations in religion which were wide spread during his time all over the Muslim world, especially certain acts and beliefs of some Sufi orders, like saint worship and visiting saints' tombs, and throwing themselves in the fire. His attack on the sufis caused him a lot of trouble with the authorities whose leaders were under the influence of certain sufi leaders. Ibn Taimiyah's fight was not limited to the sufis and the people who followed the heretical innovations; in addition, he fought against the Tatars who attacked the Muslim world and almost reached Damascus. The people of Syria sent him to Egypt to urge the Mamluke Sultan, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria to lead his troops to Syria to save it from the invading Tatars. When he realized that the Sultan was hesitant to do what he asked of him, he threatened the Sultan by saying: "If you turn your back on Syria we will appoint a Sultan over it who can defend it and enjoy it at the time of peace". He was present at the battle of Shaqhab near Damascus against the Tatars which took place during the fasting month of Ramadan and gave a fatwa to the army to break their fast in order to help them against their enemy, as the Prophet Muhammad did during the battle of the liberation of Makkah. The Muslims won the battle against the Tatars and drove them away from Damascus and all Syria. Ibn Taimiyah's courage was expressed when he went with a delegation of 'ulama' to talk to Qazan the Khan of the Tatars to stop his attack on the Muslims. Not one of the 'ulama' dared to say anything to him except Ibn Taimiyah who said: "You claim that you are Muslim and you have with you mu'adhdhins, judges, Imam and sheikh but you invaded us and reached our country for what? While your father and your grandfather, Hulago, were non-believers, they did not attack the land of Islam, rather, they promised not to attack and they kept their promise. But you promised and broke your promise."3 All this jihad against the enemies of Islam did not help Ibn Taimiyah with the 'ulama'. The authorities put him in jail many times until he died in jail because of his daring and free progressive opinions on many legal and social issues which angered his opponents, the followers of the Orthodox Schools of law. However when Ibn Taimiyah had the chance to punish his opponents among the 'ulama' who caused him all kinds of trouble and put him in jail many times, he showed the utmost of magnanimity and forgave them when the Sultan an-Nasir Qalawun gave him the chance to do so. He said: "If you kill them you will never find 'ulama' like them." The Sultan said: "They harmed you many times and wanted to kill you!" Ibn Taimiyah said: "Whoever harmed me is absolved, and who harmed the cause of Allah and His Messenger, Allah will punish him."4 The Muslim historians, like adh-Dhahabi, Ibn Kathir, Ibn al-'Imad al-Hanbali and many others praised Ibn Taimiyah and considered him one of the greatest scholars of Islam of all time. Ibn Taimiyah died in jail in Damascus on the night of Sunday-Monday 20th Dhu-l-Qa'dah 728 H./26-27 September 1328 C.E. The people of Damascus, who held him in great honor, gave him a splendid funeral and an estimated 200,000 men and 15,000 women attended his funeral. He was buried at the Sufi cemetery in Damascus 5 where his mother was buried. Ibn Taimiyah's Writings In spite of all the turbulence in his life, as discussed earlier, Ibn Taimiyah was able to write many books and pamphlets on all branches of Islamic knowledge. His pupil; Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah, compiled a list of the works of Ibn Taimiyah which contains 350 works. Here are some of them: A: Qur'anic Studies and Tafsir: 1. al-Tabyan fi nuzul al-Qur'an. 2.

Ahadith al-Qussas The Reason this Creed was Written Ibn Taimiyah said: "A Shafi'ite judge from Waasit (in Iraq) whose name is Radiy ad-Din al-Wasiti, visited me on his way to Hajj (pilgrimage). This Sheikh was a man of goodness and faith. He complained to me of the people's situation in that country (i.e., Iraq ) under the Tatars (Mongols) rule of ignorance, injustice, and loss of faith and knowledge. He asked me to write him an 'Aqidah (creed) as a reference to him and his family. But I declined saying: Many creeds have been written. Refer to the scholars of the Sunnah. However, he persisted in his request, saying: I do not want any creed but one you write. So I wrote this one for him while I was sitting one afternoon. Many copies of it are dispersed throughout Egypt, Iraq and other provinces. (Majmu' Fatawa Ibn Taimiyah, VIII, p.164)

^^^Or perhaps as grandiose as yours? Lakiin am intreasted how does CM destroy the forest of her mind by fowarding the bulletin?

Bismillahi. Brother Salafi, maybe you can make the question clearer for our brother by explaining the meaning of manhaj, so that he can understand the diffrence between taqleed and deductive reasoning or the following of what the salif followed.

Actually according to malcom x who actually came up with this terminology a house ni****er is a black man due to his position will identify himself to his own identities immolation with the white owner of the plantation. Considering himself to be higher and better than the other n****ers doing the house work. So Condi and Powell fit into that category ?!?!?! Still think that cosby had a point.

Scuba diving in the tana river?Lying around on beutifull beaches? Garissa just is not what it used to be :cool:

^^^^ Sahal brother we agree more than we disagree, just ruminate on the word manhaj, then we can have a proper disscussion, which I am open to any time. Till then lets all give each other a break, and realise we have neither the ilm or the authority to debate okay bro. @ayoub I bet you will never guess.

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Bill Cosby went off on another tirade against the black community Thursday, telling a room full of activists that black children are running around not knowing how to read or write and "going nowhere." He also had harsh words for struggling black men, telling them: "Stop beating up your women because you can't find a job." Cosby made headlines in May when he upbraided some poor blacks for their grammar and accused them of squandering opportunities the civil rights movement gave them. He shot back Thursday, saying his detractors were trying in vain to hide the black community's "dirty laundry." "Let me tell you something, your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing and calling each other n------ as they're walking up and down the street," Cosby said during an appearance at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition & Citizenship Education Fund's annual conference. "They think they're hip," the entertainer said. "They can't read; they can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere." In his remarks in May at a commemoration of the anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education desegregation decision, Cosby denounced some blacks' grammar and said those who commit crimes and wind up behind bars "are not political prisoners." "I can't even talk the way these people talk, 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... and I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk," Cosby said then. "And then I heard the father talk ... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth." Cosby elaborated Thursday on his previous comments in a talk interrupted several times by applause. He castigated some blacks, saying that they cannot simply blame whites for problems such as teen pregnancy and high school dropout rates. "For me there is a time ... when we have to turn the mirror around," he said. "Because for me it is almost analgesic to talk about what the white man is doing against us. And it keeps a person frozen in their seat, it keeps you frozen in your hole you're sitting in." Cosby lamented that the racial slurs once used by those who lynched blacks are now a favorite expression of black children. And he blamed parents. "When you put on a record and that record is yelling 'n----- this and n----- that' and you've got your little 6-year-old, 7-year-old sitting in the back seat of the car, those children hear that," he said. He also condemned black men who missed out on opportunities and are now angry about their lives. "You've got to stop beating up your women because you can't find a job, because you didn't want to get an education and now you're (earning) minimum wage," Cosby said. "You should have thought more of yourself when you were in high school, when you had an opportunity." Cosby appeared Thursday with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, founder and president of the education fund, who defended the entertainer's statements. "Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said. "Drunk people can't do that. Illiterate people can't do that." Cosby also said many young people are failing to honor the sacrifices made by those who struggled and died during the civil rights movement. "Dogs, water hoses that tear the bark off trees, Emmett Till," he said, naming the black youth who was tortured and murdered in Mississippi in 1955, allegedly for whistling at a white woman. "And you're going to tell me you're going to drop out of school? You're going to tell me you're going to steal from a store?" Cosby also said he wasn't concerned that some whites took his comments and turned them "against our people." "Let them talk," he said.

Salafiyah is a methodology bro, for solving issues that might arise in a muslims way of living. I have read your other posts, and you have already made up your mind.

Pathetic speech, vintage bush. Also who says islam and democracy are mutually exclusive. The kilafah apart from being lead by men of intregrity who's like we are not likely to see again, the system of shure intitated dialogue and responsive governance.

Moore rehashes all of the all arguments against bush, in a very funny way, lakiin its exactly and only that a rehashing of old arguments. And anyway I did not have to sit through a comedy to know bush is a fool, I get to see that everyday on primetime. @raula,sijui Uswahilini kuna vituko, eeh bwana we. Mara popcorn, mara taarabu, alfuu nani ata leta chai ya tangawizi?

Brother, there is a breed of ostriches known as somali ostrich's. Usually there just black with white plummage on their nether regions. Simpo. Is it just me but are those cats just very "beauty challenged"?

^^^Before you jump out of your seat with all your "insights"....... :rolleyes: Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor to death by firing squad for deliberately infecting some 400 children with HIV. That is not beyond the realm of beleif, the apartheid goverment experminetd using HIV on Namibian and black south african soldiers under the guise of giving treatment. Dr.Basoon aka Dr.Death a reasercher on chemical and biological weapons said as much at his trail. I dont know anything about this particular case, but that this has happened before is adocumented fact and if it were to happen again, the tests would probably be run a bunch of " sand ni****rs " than any one else.

Bismillahi rahmani rahim: From the above, we see tha Hakimiyyah is an integral part in uluuhiya As usual brother Nur you have summed up a difficult issue in a sentence . Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah (The Unity of Lordship) This is the fundamental understanding that Allaah is Ar-Rabb (pronounced like Are-rob and commonly translated as the Lord). That is, He is the maintainer and sustainer of all things without Whom nothing would exist. The word Rabb in itself refers to a relationship of dominance and control. He created and sustains all of the creation, without any need of it nor does He need any assistance to maintain or provide for His creatures. Nothing occurs unless He allows it to occur, and it is He who gives any power at all to His creation. Allaah states: "Allaah created all things and He is the Wakeel (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian)" [Al-Qur'aan 2: 62] And Allaah created you all and whatever you do. [Al-Qur'aan 37: 96] It was not you who threw when you threw, but it was Allaah Who threw. [Al-Qur'aan 8: 17] And no calamity strikes except by Allaah's permission. [Al-Qur'aan 64:11] The Prophet Muhammad stated: "Be aware that if the whole of mankind gathered together in order to do something to help you, they would not be able to do anything for you unless Allaah had already written it for you. Likewise, if the whole of humanity gathered to harm you they would only be able to harm you if Allaah had already written that for you." [Reported by Ibn Abbaas and collected by At-Tirmidhee] His is verily all creation and commandment, blessed is Allaah the Lord of all the worlds. [soorah Al-'Araaf Aayah 54] THE TAWHEED OF ALLAAH'S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES And Allaah has the most excellent and perfect names, so call on Him by them, and abandon the company of those who deviate and commit shirk with regard to them - they will be punished for what they used to do. [soorah Al-A'raaf (7) 180] His is the highest and most perfect description (none has the right to be worshipped but him, and nothing is like Him) in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. [soorah Ar-Room (30): 27] There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Seeing, the All-Hearing. [soorah Ash-Shoorah (42):11] In general, the unification of Allaah's names and attributes (Tawheed Al-Asmaa wa Sifaat) means the firm conviction that Allaah, the Glorious and Mighty, is characterized by all the attributes of perfection, is above all defects and deficiencies, and that He alone is distinguished from His creation by these characteristics. This Tawheed is achieved by: Attesting to all the names and attributes of Allaah reported about Himself and those confirmed by His Prophet in the Qur'aan and Sunnah. This is called ithbaat (pron. ith - like 'with'-baat). Not altering their expression or meaning. This alteration is called tahreef (pron. tah with the 'a' in cat, -reef') Not nullifying them by denying all or some of them. To nullify called ta'teel (pronounced 'ta' with a soft 'a' like in ball, 'teel') Not modifying them by attempting to determine their essence and assigning a certain form to them. To modify is called takyeef (pron. 'tack - yeef') Not comparing them to any human characteristic such as assigning to Him the qualities that are not suiting His majesty but rather belong to His creation or assigning qualities that befit Allaah alone to His creation. Such similitudes are called tamtheel and tashbeeh respectively.

Bismillahi rahmani rahim: Sister you are correct, and indeed we have already been shown the way to become true muslims. Did not Allah [s.W.T] state in his word that all good comes to us is from him, whilst all the evil that comes to us is from our own transgressions against ourselves? This poem would not have written if it were not for our own weakness, that leads inexorably to all kinds of strife.

Bismillahi rahmani rahim: What is Tawheed al-Haakimiyyah? Shaikh Abu Baseer Mustafah Haleemah Question: "Is it possible for you to clarify for me the meaning of Tawheed Al-Haakimiyyah? It seems to me that it is half of Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah?! As I have heard that Shaykh Muhammad bin Ibraheem - the Shaykh of Ibn Baaz - was from those who taught the people Tawheed Al-Haakimiyyah and then this phrase was rejected by many of the Saudi Salafees and they considered it as a Bid'ah. So is this correct?! Then is it possible for you to refer me to the books, which discuss this side of Tawheed?" Answer: Tawheed Al-Haakimiyyah means unifying Allaah, the Most High, alone; One in His judgement (Hukm) and His legislation (Tashree'). So just as He, the Most High, has no partner in his Dominion and in controlling the affairs of the creation, likewise, He has no partner in the judgement (Hukm) and legislation (Tashree'). As He, the Most High, said: "The Hukm (judgment) is for none but Allâh. He has commanded that you worship none but Him, that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not." [al-Qur'aan 12:40] And He, the Most High, said: "And Allaah judges and there is none to reject His Hukm (judgment)." [13:41] And He, the Most High, said: "Is it the Hukm (judgment) of Jaahiliyyah, which they seek? And who is better than Allaah in ruling for a people of certainty?" And "And in whatsoever you disagree about, then its Hukm (judgment) is to Allaah." And He, the Most High, said: "And if you obey them, then you would be Mushrikoon." ...as well as other than these from the clear (Mu'hkam) verses, which indicate this category of Tawheed and with which the Eemaan of a person is not correct except with it. And the Hadeeth, which is authentic (Saheeh) from the Prophet , that he said: "Verily, Allaah is the Hakam (ruler or judge) and to Him is the Hukm (judgment)." But is this category of Tawheed from the Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah (also called Tawheed al-Ebaadah) or is it the other half of it? I say: It is not another category besides Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah, however; is enters beneath Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah. And from it is what enters beneath Tawheed Ar-Rooboobiyyah and from it is what enters beneath the Tawheed of Allaah, the Most High, in His Asmaa' wa Sifaat. But when the Shirk in the Ummah increased in its ruling by other than what Allaah revealed and its taking the rulings to the legislations of Kufr and the Taaghoot, it was necessary to specify this important category of Tawheed by mentioning it on its own to draw to sight of the people towards its importance and that without it, they have not brought the Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah as it must be and is obligatory. And the likes of that would be if you found a people who committed Shirk from the point of obedience. So you would say to them, "It is obligatory that you come with the Tawheed At-Taa'aah (Obedience) and that you do not obey anyone, for himself, except Allaah." So this statement of yours would be correct and it is not allowed to object to you or to say to you, "You have come with a new Tawheed, which you have labeled 'Tawheed At-Taa'aah' or with a Tawheed other than Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah!!" And like that, is if you found a people who associated with Allaah, other intermediaries from the aspect of love (Ma'habbah) and allegiance and disavowal (Al-Walaa' wa'l-Baraa'). So you would find it necessary upon yourself to point to the Tawheed of Love (Mu'habbah) and that the loved one, for himself, is Allaah alone. But this Tawheed is not a new Tawheed besides Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah, just as your saying about Tawheed Al-Mu'habbah is not an invention or an innovation (Bid'ah) in any way. And like that is if you were to see one who associated with Allaah, the Most High, from the aspect of supplication (Du'a) and seeking protection. So you say to him, "It is obligatory for you to make Allaah One in the supplications (Du'a) and seeking (protection). And this is not another category besides Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah, rather it is only that the need and necessity sometimes necessitates that you mention it independently when you find a people falling into Shirk in this point. There is no one from the earlier or the latter generations who said that Tawheed Al-Haakimiyyah is a fourth (completely independent) category from the categories of Tawheed, rather they all enter it beneath Tawheed Al-'Uloohiyyah. And from it is that which enters beneath the remaining categories of Tawheed as it has passed and they mention it independently due to its importance and to draw the attention to this type of Tawheed of which its traces are still being erased! So if you know this, then you know that this movement that is being propagated against this category of Tawheed by the opposition, has no justification except that they wish to belittle this type of Tawheed and so that they can justify what comes from the intentional shortcomings from the Tawagheet (plural of Taaghoot) of the ruling (Hukm) from their rejection and objection of this important aspect of Tawheed. And as for your question about the books, which discuss this aspect of Tawheed, they are very many. The most important and highest and greatest is the Noble Qur'aan and then the books of the Prophetic Sunnah and the books of beliefs ('Aqeedah) such as the books of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Al-Qayyim and Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhab and his grandsons. And from the contemporaries, the books of Sayyid Qutb, may Allaah, the Most High, be merciful to him. And from them, especially, his book "Al-Thilaal" and "Al-Ma'aalim" and "Khasaa'is Al-Tasaawir" and "Muqawimaat At-Tasaawir Al-Islaamee". And also, the books of his brother Muhammad Qutb and from the books, that are specific to this aspect such as the book "Tawheed Al-Haakimiyyah" by our brother the Shaykh Abee Ithaar and also the books and letters of our brother, the Shaykh Abee Muhammad Al-Maqdisee. And if you looked also, to our books and projects, then you would not be lacking any additional benefits from this point, inshaa'Allaah. The books are many, but where are the readers and those who act (upon them)??!" This was in answer to a question in another forum. I tried to post it there but the topic seems to have been deleted!?!?!?! But on reflection, I think it needs a topic all on its own.

Bismillahi rahmani rahim. Indeed Nur we must adjust the language and idioms in which we speak to suit the times we live in. Thank you for the reminder. As for this topic on tawheed i think it very needed, purple rain answerd what she thought to be the correct answer. Salafi's and Nur's responses I hope cleared any similar pantheistic misconception about tawheed. For a more hard hitting exposition on the issue refer to this link.
