Nur Posted July 22, 2011 Akhi Al Xabib Bilaal Same here, as one of the earliest bloggers on Islam site, I miss your "Intellectuals duels", lately, the site has become so quiet as we entered the Orwellian time domain when being silent is seen as gold. I think that 10 years should be enough sharing my thoughts on this site, good and bad, Now If I get free time, I am tempted to help the drought an poverty stricken people back home. I have ideas to alleviate their pain, I just need to find someone who can spend some money to make it work. Nur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted July 22, 2011 I'm saddened by this because it shows just how much we've taken you for granted. I've really enjoyed the ingenious way you approach and analyse issues from an Islamic perspective. You've done an immense job and I'm sorry if we haven't shown our appreciation or engaged enough in the discussions. May Allah reward you for your work and bestow further knowledge and understanding on you in your journey. Khayr iyo nabad ayaan kuu rajeynayaa, Nur.

Nur Posted October 21, 2011 Dear Admin Today marks my Tenth year as a Nomad and seventh as Moderator at Islam SOL page. I leave the responsibility to you to see to it that the page is monitored and kept decent and attractive to viewers. Baarkallahu Feek Nur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abtigiis Posted October 21, 2011 Brother Nur, I have not always agreed with your viewpoints and arguments, but I admire your knowledge and salute your integrity and civility. You were always level-headed, courteous and sensible. I learned a lot from you, but I felt a taxaliil from you is overdue for me so that I outgrow the small matter of fixation with narrating indecent tales. Ducadaas waad la bakhayshay, nin se qiimo leh waad tahay. I don't want to interfere in your decision, but I think you should remain an active contributor.

Nur Posted October 22, 2011 Akhi Northern ( Old S.Name) I share you the same feeling, to me you and many Nomads on this site have become an extension of my family and I will always value this brotherhood and hope and pray that we all make it safely to Jannah. Please keep me in your prayers. Oz Bro I am sure that my departure will make a room for a new beginning, once empowered, our people can rise to the call and can amaze you. Jazakkallahu Kheiran for your kind comment. Somali NFD Bro. I was indeed touched by your comments, may be we can meet in Mandera, or nearby villages for tea one day. InshaaAllah I will heed your advice and post from time to time, Baarakallahu Feek akhi. Nur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomaliNFD Posted October 24, 2011 Br Nur thank you for accepting the invitation to continue sharing your knowledge in the forum. It will also be honourable to share the cup of tea with you in my village in NFD and treat you to a somaliNFD style hospitality. We treat our guests with high esteem.

Khayr Posted October 24, 2011 Salams, With the emergence of facebook, twitter, blackberrys and iphones, came a decline in attention spans and intelligence in people. Hence, discussions about islamic values and principles are no longer tolerable (the irony of the liberal mindset - All is acceptable except God) and reflections are a thing of the yesterdays. SOL has been a victim of that as its users are not drinking canoo geel but rather drinking the Apple flavored Kool-Aide! The SOL of 10 years was new and exciting and the site back then provided a platform for English-fluent Somalis to engage in meaningful dialogues. Unfortunately, that is not the same anymore because of the changing internet Somali demographic and the overall populus somali mentality - whichis an oxymoron because they are no longer somali in custom and mentality. By this, I mean the majority are no longer Muslim in personality and their allegiance (what is in their hearts, manifested in their writings and arguments) is no longer with Allah and his rasul (salallahu calihi wasilm). JazaKa Allah khayrun for your efforts and good demeanor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
