GaroweGal Posted August 3, 2010 Ibti, You are still not on the same page as me. Reciting alhamdu and understanding the meaning is quite different. Anyone can recite it a five year old and 50 year old, but how many can tell you the meaning of "ihdina siraadal mustiqiin"guide me to to the straight path for example in that particular surah??? only a few dear and not the average muslim I assure do a survey you would be surprised just among teenage SOmali girls or boys who pray five times a day or maybe even try older age groups. The Somali community is a classical example, they memorise the Holy book yet have no idea what they are reciting, and I believe that is what Ayan is finger pointing at. All I am saying is about time we (as the Somali community) stress more on the understanding of the qu'aan as opposed to memorising it. Haat, me referring to you as Sheikh is called an example of sarcasm dear so dont get too excited and Hamza Yusuf is clearly more knowledgable than you. Soo iska Aamus. :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haatu Posted August 3, 2010 ^ Well duh. We all know that Hamza Yusuf is more knowledgable than me. That wasn't even the issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
