For those who returned to gurigii hooyo

[Valenteenah.]

OK, I see what you are basing your arguments on, Xanthus, but I've got to say your original statements sounded like gross generalisations.

 

LMAO @ "waan soo foorfoorsanya, or maadaaxan duulka kuu soo xooqaayah"!

[Jacaylbaro]

looool@waan soo foorfoorarsanayaa

 

I hear that a lot around here too ,,,,,,,,

 

and some ppl to go the mostque just coz someone they want to ask a money is there to pray ,,, they can't get another chance to meet him

[N.O.R.F]

How did you correct their prayer Xan?

[Ibtisam]

^^Why do you think i don't know how to pray, I just told them not to look around while praying, shout as if their the imam and not to lift their hands up in the air and rock back when they saamiicaalaahu liiman xaantuu.

 

see! ask Jac, it is so common!

[Valenteenah.]

^^ Loool! OMG...OMG...lol. That's hilarious. They should make a film about your visit! I would pay good money to listen to all the conversations you had while there.

Bless you.

[N.O.R.F]

Xan, didnt say you didnt know how to pray. I just cant bring myself to correct people (or my opinion on what is the correct way of prayer). Scared they may react the wrong way or something.

[Ibtisam]

^^Okay, I was scared of the people i did not know, but for the ones who I knew, iindaah faar kaa geelin jirie

 

Lool Val I'm take channel 5 with me next time

[Ms DD]

lol@indhaha farahaan ka gelin jirey.

 

Walle..haddalo cajaa'ib baad la timaadey beryahan

[Ibtisam]

^^^^LOOOOL^^ I kind of dusted my somali off when i went back, Tell serenity i speak better somali than her please she thinks I’m hopeless and i butcher the language

[Aaliyyah]

Xanthus, I am sure somalis back home know howta pray. Are you sure u are not changing the story .

 

I can only imagine them teaching u howta pray, bt not the other way around. lol

 

dadkana farahaha indhaha haka galin dee..

 

wa salaamu alaikum

[Ibtisam]

^^^^Aaliyah, Go there first then report back, as for changing my story , well what can I say they taught me a lot of things (sadly not about the deen)....for example I can do the Somali faadi: sitting and balancing with just my feet, and washing clothes/ dishes in Daarqsaal in that position (its harder than it sounds, almost as hard as sitting over hole called the toilet), they do have washing machines but its not like ours, you have daami with water, add the washing powder and the clothes all in one place, its too much work, better you just wash it with your hands.

 

Oh and AAliyah take your sun glasses, the sun is blinding there, but be aware you will be called aafra indoolee, so you have more to worry about than my figures reaching you.

[Jacaylbaro]

saamiicaalaahu liiman xaantuu

,,,,, and what is that ??

[NGONGE]

^^^ War leave her alone

[Ibtisam]

^^my new body guard! haha. Ngonge I've seen your somali over in the Politics section, so maaxaad kuu qoosli?

 

 

Jac: let me write it in english for ya, I'm sure its better than my somali ""Sami'Allahu liman hamidah" (Allah hears those who praise Him)"Rabbana lakal hamd." (Our Lord, praise be to You).

 

Better??

 

p.s Don't day waaxab kuumaan baarin

[Jacaylbaro]

Ahhhhhhhhhh ,, that is better ,,,,,,, i understood now
