You are Visitor No: to my topic [/b] Saxiibayaaalo to get jumped at a gun point by a crook in some dark alley is something u cant do shit about, but to willingly hand over your hard earned dollars to some Faraarax dressed up in a yellow suite and end up getting ripped off is some shit oo doqonimadaada ku geeysatay.. Last weekend I went out shoppin for a spring break getaway vacation ticket to Toronto, since I have checked all major travel websites and the fare averaged around $220.00 round trip deal from Mpls to Pearson airport T.O. I decided to check some Travel agencies and see if I could get a better deal.. I stopped by several agents before I stumbled up on this part Xawaalad part laxam xalaal, part travel agency, part tax return filing, part qaraan collection store … I figured it wont hurt to check his fares.. The dude had a little office in the back with a tired a$$ HP computer, I asked him “ how much is a return ticket to Toronto?", he goes.. "Bradar take a seat and I will give you the best fare i have.." I said cool.. and took a seat.. homeboy began to work his magic on the computer.. and started staring at the screen.. rubbing his chin,,, and making this “I am deeply thinking” kind of expression on his face as if he is a physicist working on a classical problem of statistical mechanics ,, his intense application of his intellectual capabilities coupled with his profound devotion for serving his community has engaged my attention in a deep sentiment of respect and appreciation for this struggling young Somali brother who is trying to take his piece of the pie. Although his office/store was grubby and dirty as hell I found his services to be inestimable to the Somali community especially to the none English speaking Somali elders. My line of thoughts was cut off when the faraax looked me over and said in an introspective fashion “Baraadar the best fare I can get you is $270.83 nonstop flight on a Northwest Airlines..” “ saxib can I get a student discount on that??” he goes No “baradar” the company we deal with don’t give any discounts to students. But this is the best fare out there since everybody is traveling on spring break!!” It didn’t take me a second to turn his offer down simply coz it was not feasible to me, i knew i'd be saving $50 by buying the ticket online.. so I apologized to him and said “saxib I have a better deal somewhere else” now as I got up my eye caught a glance of his computer screen, which by the way was carefully put in an angel that would obstruct the customers viewing of whatever the agent is working with… and guess what… the rat was reading off the fare from Cheaptickets.com !!!!! loooool Now this is the point where you fancy me mad, you see men normally do serious damage when they get mad . But you should have seen how wisely I proceeded - with what caution - with what foresight - with what dissimulation I asked him “and saxib what company do you deal with in terms of your client ticketing?" I was never nicer to the faarax than during the whole encounter.. so he goes “ Baraadar waxan la dealgarainaa shirkado badaan oo airlines aah, marke wholesale aan oga soo gadanaa tickityada then waan sii gadnaa” Now the very pleasant day I had along with the Somali-cerntric attitude I posses were sufficant enough to absorb all my rage and anger.. so in a smooth tone I said.. “Saaxib you tried the right trick on the wrong guy, your black a$$ is trying to sell me a $220 fare for $270.00 from a website accessible to everybody.. do you think people are as ignorant and stup!d as your black a$$? Maan I am not gonna lose my cool over this.. I will simply report yo a$$ to the better business bureau Dept of the Minneapolis champer of commerce.." and took off.. homeboy came running behind me in the parking lot with 2 $10 calling cards, he handed them to me and said with a big a$$ smile “Hada saaaxib soomali aan ilsla nahaay ee rizaaqadayda ha iga guyn” I smiled back at him.. took the 2 calling cards, got in my car.. and said “Paastar.. aaniga marka aad isku dayday in aad ii dhacdid yahoood baan ahaa miaa ?? I will still report yo a$$ FIRST THING TOMMORROW… taasi na waa balaan.”. and drove off.. So tell us… have you ever been in a similar situation? Have you been ripped off by someone? Or did someone attemptto rip your off..?? I am more than anixiouse to hear all yall’s stories..

is there beer in Galka'yo?? good god.. !!!

Brother Khayr and Qaac, I m very happy we came to terms to this very important issue, just remember that when I am not with you I am not necessarily against you.. people are different and are bound to have different views.. Sister caramel.. please feel free to pitch in with your tow cents

Originally posted by Hibo: Darmaan you are right bro when you say quote:if all participants in any given relationship know that they need to impress the other side aren't we dealing with a show, I agree with you 110%.. but Somalis say " Qofkii aragtidiisa ku daaqdaa ayaa uuntiisa ku deeqdaa"... Basically it is not fair but what attracts you to someone is their externals not internals. I am not one of the girls that look for mr-all-dat.. I believe when a guy is too cute he gets too pretty for me... in the processing loosing all his manliness in my eyes.. but qof kasta waxa uu raadiyaa someone u jidka la mari karo.. He/she doesn't have to be ms/mr world but atleast be attractive in the other's eyes... it is sad.. but it is the reality.. and we can't ignore it. So in short.. Looks do matter! Hibo, I somewhat agree with you too walaashiis, attractive looking people are always hard to resist and that’s probably why most people seek out a presentable partner... but should that be more important that seeking a characteristically pleasant partner?? As baashi said sooner or later the beauty will wear off what will remain the is person's attitude.... I still believe that anyone could fall in love with the ugliest of the ugly if they put their physical appearance aside and judge them for their deen, personality and the true emotions they reciprocate with them.. brother baashi.. u can get a signature just like mine by visiting this page.. Signature its some kind of Hassanah Jaryah where u get credited with ajir for spreading virtue…. Brother Aqyaar,, you guys are tiipa talyaani huh

Brother Northerner, I shall have you know that in a recent press conference with the French interior minister the Azhar Mufti in Egypt shik Tantaawi said the French ban of Hijaab in France is an internal issue and the muslim community in France should comply with the new regulations by not wearing hijaab. And added Hijab is not compulsory if the Muslimah lives in a non muslim country!! I wonder how much the French paid for his Fatwa!!!

You are Visitor No: to my topic [/b] i was wondering what is the importance of looks in the beginning of a relationship, how much weight does it have in determining if the person will have an opportunity to get a chance to show us thier other sides, and how many people we miss out because at first glance we overlooked them because they were Fat, Dark, skinny, short….etc. if all participants in any given relationship know that they need to impress the other side aren't we dealing with a show, and if the purpose of meeting new people is to find a good wife/husband isn't this intention missed? when is it o.k to let your guards down and stop performing, if its ever o.k? and if we are performing isn't it deceiving to the other person? does it change with age/experience/desperation? and if it does , does it mean we are settling down for second best? I m not trying to be naive or coy but i always thought that although looks are important to some extent they shouldnt be the dominant thing that makes a person attractive, and as you get to know a person the importance in determining the attractiveness diminishes. I personally believe that attractiveness is composed of many things like wit, intelligence, passionate soul, kindness, honesty and more. On many occasions I have met girls who are physically not attractive but posses the brightest mentalities, coolest attitude and the highest manners… and on the other hand, I have also met cute and sexy looking girls who have no brains whatsoever, bad a$$ attitude, short temper, and a high sense of arrogance to top em all.. This could work with the fella’s too, but either way.. I’d like to know this… Would you let someone who is fat, dark, short and ugly looking into your life and give him/her a fair chance to show you whats in their hearts??

Proud Sista… I found a quite relevant Hadiith to your topic.. enjoy reading it walsheey... Umm Salama, the wife of the Apostle of Allah, reported Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying, “If any servant (of Allah) who suffers a calamity says, ‘ We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it.’ Allah will give him reward for his affliction, and will give him something better than it in exchange.” She (Umm Salama) said, “When Abu Salama died, I uttered (these very words) as I was commanded (to do) by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So Allah gave me better than him in exchange, i.e. (I was taken as the wife of) the Messenger of Allah.” (Book 4, #2000, Muslim)

Brother Khayr and Qaac.. first and foremost let me commend your inspiring Islamic conscious. your sincerity in defending Islam coupled with your efforts in correcting the nomads who have misperception of some particular issues of Deen didnt go unnoticed. Without Daaciyas like you people would fall into ignorance and hypocrites will lead them into Muxaramaat. Although am fully supportive to your noble mission I would like to hereby attract your kind attention to a point that would help you spread the good deeds around SOL more effectively and positively. this point is the method you guys are using in extending the message of allah. Brothers khayr and Qaac I have noticed that you were becoming a little harsh and redundant in approaching the nomads with fallacies of our Islamic teachings. you have to understand that their realities and lifestyle or perhaps upbringing was probably different than yours, they may have never had a chance to learn about Aqeedah, Fiqah and Tawxiid of which you are quite knowledgeable of. Their concerns, most of the time, stems from a mere lack of knowledge that needs to be corrected in a very kind and friendly manner. The last thing that would help them back on the right path is a fruitless toe-to-toe arguments and insults which will only worsen their delusion and astray them even further into Muxarmaat. So to have them take your dacwah you must build a friendship relation with them and make them feel you are genuinely concerned about them. And try not to force your viewpoint (which may well be true) on them. Please check this Aayah of which Allah is educating his prophet PBUH on how to call to Allah.. and this is the translation of the Above aaya (in red) even thought the Prophet, the best of mankind and the best Daaciyah ever, would have failed as Allah has told us, without being kind and gentle. subxaan alaaah And these are tow more Aayas educating us on how approach people when you are calling them to the path of allah and this is the translation of the Above aaya (in red) and this is the translation of the Above aaya (in red) So Please do not alienate yourselves and be more social, friendly, kind, and gentel when making a Dacwah… I love you for the sake of allah, and I hope you don’t take this as a hating criticism.. Your brother darman

where is the social services from his punk a$$ ??

Originally posted by Khayr: quote: if a muslim rapes a nonmuslim, he is not to be punished. The last part of the sentence was forgetton. My apologies, it was a typo. What I meant was that a muslim is not to be punished by DEATH, if they were to commit a crime against a nonmuslim b/c the life of a believer is sacred. Inshallah, I'll try to respond to your other q's walaal soon. Fi Amanallah we still need a Daleel from Sunnah brother Khayr... and if it was ijtihaad by some Culumaa.. then we'd still want to know who and how acredited they are...

I guess that’s how we’d think of this particular issue until one of our loved ones commits a crime, only then our emotions will take over and we’ll try to salvage him or her in anyway possible.

i think all of these stories are true.. it may well could happen to any girl in a big city like london!!
