Nur Posted March 2, 2006 Nomads As we cross the five year mark as contributers to Somaliaonline, we have recieved valuable feedback from our readers as private messages, we encourage all readers to send in their views as this organization takes pride in serving you, even if you you dont share perspectives with the CEO. We thought that its appropriate to answer frequently asked questions: Q. What is e-Nuri? A. It is a one man organization, using all lawful means available to reach and teach Somalis and others, it is for a profit organization, our exit strategy being death when we hope to collect our profits from our maker, e-Nuri, stakeholder. The organization came to being on other forums, and found by accident some that of our posts were circulating and even posted at Islamic sites with psoitive reviews, tagged : Author Unknown. That was when the CEO entreprenNUR decided to invest heavily on this niche market, a unique style in delivering the message of Allah to a new generation who are very resistant to old remedies of Muhaadaro. e-Nuri was previously know as Nurtel, back in the old days, it was located at Somalinet, an environmentally challenging site, there, the organization earned its wings as the moderating force of Islam amidst some of the most skewed posts. Later, Sister Raxmah invited the organization to open shop @ Somaliaonline a very quiet yet responsible site that for the fisrt time had a vision of building the right readership against the temptation of sheer numbers to boast the number of hits to make advertisement money ( . The Superior Know What Is Right, The Inferior Know What Sells : Philosopher Confucious). e-Nuri style is said to be sarcastic, at times mocking at conventional wisdoms, it provides a fresh look at issues from the point of view of someone who is fully by-cultural, as he spent his life equally abroad as he did at home, and who is an avid reader of all literature in several languages, learning a lot from other experiences and weighing it against our values before opining. e-Nuri writes about diverse topics such as social issues, politics, and current events, all from the Islamic point of view. It believes that reason is not treason, and if all humans reason, with all the facts available to all of them, they will converge to a similar conclusions on issues they radically differ on today, its ignorance that is causing rifts, thus e-Nuri , a pacifist organization who shuns violence as a means of change, focuses on attacking problems, not people, in a world that is busy identifying the person as the problem and then going after them with all avialable brute force, while ignoring the underlying problems that will haunt them later. Neutral Somalia, posted at Somaliaonline Politics section depicts the authors political thought provoking solutions. Q. Could you tell us more about the background of the founder A. Nur, is the birth name of the CEO, not the current one, born and raised in the horn of Africa, educated in the west and widely travelled for business. He has always been an Islamic activist, mellowing from youth revelutionary philosophy to that of a social change, peaceful change philosophy, positive change being his concern and not any change, personally, what the CEO posts reflect his past or present personal struggles to rise to his maker, places and names in his posts are fictitious, but the content are invariably all his or that of his close aquaintances. Nur leads a very happy life, he harbors no ill feeling to anyone, his preoccupation is what he can do for himself through helping others, nothing gives the CEO more pleasure than helping clarify an issue or allay undue fears from the practice of our faith. The CEO is very cordial with all religious persuations and races that he came to know and interact in different capacities, Christians and Jews, Secularists and Islamists alike, participated in interfaith dialogues, Islamist-nationalist dialogues, and regards all humans as a single family and prays that Allah guides lost souls to the right path, although he believes that there is nothing as precious on earth like the Somali Woman, If Allah blesses him in paradise, his Xuur Al Ayn will be a Somali. One of my unfinished aticles combining paradise and Somali Women is titled " Preserving The Amazon Valley And The Somali Hijabi Woman" two great undiscovered rich resources. The CEO is a very normal Faarax by all yardsticks, ( Good and Bad) , intentionally , he does not disclose his private life, as the scope of his efforts are targeted toward helping others, he enjoys sports, loves the outdoors, reading, skiid in Pensylvania slopes, and diving in Dahlak islands in Eritrea. Travelled in Africa, Asia , Europe and North America, experiences that give the CEO a very wide perspective of issues. Against that background, the CEO is also a lifetime student of Islamic Jurisprudence and Fiqh, Aqeedah, languages, drawing from famous scholars of our time and the 12 century Hijri. Q. Why is that you start great topics and then never finish, why do you lie? A. Well, 99 % of my topics are composed directly on the page you are reading, ( This one is an an example), no time to edit and no time to follow through, finishing, reason being time scarcity, and that if I dont post my thoughts they are lost forever, so our policy has been post as many thoughts as possible, only the good ones will be requested. Being a one man show also has its drawbacks, responding to all responses is a mamoth job, and if i dont respond, I lose my readers, considering the fact that i have a life that has its needs. But, we realize that we need to expand, we are interviewing few good women and few good men to joing our ranks and moderate the e-Nuri posts. Few souls that we approached feel spiritually challenged to join the team, but we are working on them. Please come back, To Be Continued.......
