Mashallah. This guy inspires me. I always wanted to invest in a school back home. Insha'Allah I will in the near future.

 

This man is amazing, no words can describe his good efforts ..

 

It said in the comments that he passed away. If that is the case allah yarhamhu. Wanaag buu shaqeestay. Ilaahay haka abaalmariyo ten fold.

HiCEP is a UK based charity which operates a library and school for children from the Hiran region of Southern Somalia. It was founded in 1998 by Daud Hassan Ali along with friends and family as the Beled-Weyne Library project. Daud devoted his life to education and bringing it to his home town. His lifelong dream was to open a school there which he achieved in 2005.

 

On 14 April 2008 the school was attacked and Daud was killed alongside his fellow teachers Rehana, Andrew and Gilford. We, his friends and family are dedicated to continuing the project with the help of HiCEP supporters who all contribute their time, money and effort to keep the project going. Here is a film of Daud talking about his life, the library and the school. It was made for the memorial service held for the teachers on 7 June 2008.

So Daud, the dude in the video, was killed? Any idea who did kill him and what motives they had? Jeez! The man was building schools, damn it!

[Blessed]

Allah Yarxamuh.

[Somalina]

Because he was a convert. RIP.

From the Qur’an, Al Baqara (The Heifer), verse 62, we learn: Those who believe in the message of the Qur’an, and those who follow the Jewish [scriptures], and the Christians and the Sabians *– any who believe in God and the Last day, and work righteousness – shall have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Great Somalis ayaan ka hadleynaa not great muslims. Waxa u dadkiisa u qabtey ayaan ka hadleynaa here. Inta kale waa asaga iyo ilaahiisa.

 

Dualeh Nur, director of the Somali Business Association in Birmingham, said Ali was a good man dedicated to helping Somalis, both in Birmingham and in Somalia. "He was very, very active in the local community. He used to act as an interpreter and as an advocate for Somalians trying to claim asylum, and with housing and health problems," he said.

 

Tony Howell, the council's strategic director for children, young people and families, said: "I was extremely sorry to hear of the sad loss of Daud, who was a most valued and respected educational psychologist in Birmingham from 1988 to 2004, and my sincerest condolences go to his family."
