Gediid Posted April 16, 2007 I know this dude.One of three Somali real estate agents in Virginia.When Somalis started to buy homes in Virginia instead of renting this brother was the first to cash in.He made his mark then and continues to do well but the real estate market in America is all about riba and as far as I know one who deals in real estate profits from that.We might as well start celebrating Ayan Ali Hersi's achievements as well while we in the mood for celebrating....

xiinfaniin Posted April 16, 2007 ^^Good call Gediid... Ribaa earnings are not something to celebrate for! There is Martin Mohamed in the mid west as well… I guess as a collapsed nation we would cling to anything that resembles success these days.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faarax-Brawn Posted April 16, 2007 “That which ye lay out for increase through the property of (other) people, will have no increase with Allah: But that which ye lay out for charity, seeking the countenance of Allah (will increase): it is these who will get a recompense multiplied”. (30:39) “That they took riba (usury), through they were forbidden and that they devoured men’s substance wrongfully – We have prepared for those among men who reject faith a grievous punishment.” (4:161) “O ye who believe! Devour not usury doubled and multiplied; but fear Allah, that ye may (really) prosper.” (3:140 “Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands one whom the evil one by his touch hath driven to madness. That is because they say: ‘Trade is like usury.’ But Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge). But those who repeat (the offence) are companions of the fire, they will abide therein (forever)” (2:275) “O you who have attained faith! Remain conscious of God, and give up all outstanding gains from Usury, if you are (truly) believers” (2: 278) ^^ Thought i would pull a Khayrie May Allah forgive our sins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caano Geel Posted April 16, 2007 maybe but still, it wrong to infringe on peoples rghts to privacy, especially on cyper space where this info is available to every tom dick and harry that can get to a computer terminal. On top of that SOL is a high visibility website, any info listed here will come up high on searches.. anyhow, the point is that such links and info could easily be found and used by anyone wanting to trouble for me, i mean the guy ..

Bal Geediid and xiinoow Tell us how he is profiting from riba? is he selling mortgage packages or selling the houses??? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted April 16, 2007 ^^Dameer & labadiisa dhegood, maaha? On a serious note, I didn't uderstand the q yaa Legend of Zu? Are you doubting the source of Ali's earnings? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Som@li Posted April 16, 2007 Caano Geel, Saxb, if one is concerned abt privacy, he should not have run a website carrying with his full name, I guess he knows what he is doing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faarax-Brawn Posted April 16, 2007 Caano, I was just curious about your opposition to posting a website,it doesnt make sense. Anyway,i heard you Zu,Perhaps the real estate business in OZ is different from everywhere else in the world hayeh? Thing is,he works for the largest real estate in the mid atlantic. I doubt if LONG & FOSTER has a riba free department(At least i couldnt find it). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElPunto Posted April 16, 2007 ^Here's the situation. A real estate agent is a middle man between buyer and seller. He makes money through a commission on homes sold. How the homes bought or financed is not in his purview. Obviously - almost all are done through riba financing but is he responsible for that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted April 16, 2007 ^CG - easy - it's a website in the public domain. Highlighting here is hardly worthy of disparagement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gediid Posted April 16, 2007 Faraax Even companies like Guidance Financial which claim to offer riba free mortages are just a front for the banks..Either way whether you go Islamic or borrow from a bank the real estate industry is all about riba and one cant escape that if you want to become a home owner in the USA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
