ooh woowI dunno where you got the incorrect infos. For instance, the following excerpt contradicts what you claimed about Aweys combating the influences of Christian missionaries:Grant wrote:The Sahaba may have had a few families in a few coastal towns. Omanis controlled the coastal towns when their ships were in port. It was not in their interest to have Muslims among the slaved populations. Islam reached the inland parts of southern Somalia only in Sheik Aweys' time.
It was his writings that were so important, especially in combating the influences of Christian missionaries and ending the Arab branch of the slave trade.
Of course, I'm sure you will take the position of the Salihiya, that Aweys, as a Sufi and a member of the Banidiir Ulema, was a purveyor of shirk and should properly be ignored. I disagree.

He only spread the teaching of the Sufi order in the Southern interior; no mention about converting non-Muslims. No mention at all about him combating the influences of Christian missionaries. Furthermore, the Ajuuraan state*, which was an Islamic state, controlled a large swath of Somalia's interior, including the two rivers and surroundings; a clear proof Islam reached hinterland Somalis way before Aweys' time.Outstanding figures of the Qadiriyah in Somalia included Shaykh Awes Mahammad Baraawi (d. 1909), who spread the teaching of the Sufi order in the southern interior. He wrote much devotional poetry in Arabic and attempted to translate traditional hymns from Arabic into Somali, working out his own phonetic system.

Meet Dr. Hawa Abdi Dhiblawe, a 60-year-old family doctor who has treated, often for no charge, thousands of poor women and children in Somalia for over quarter of a century. She runs the Dr. Hawa Abdi clinic, located between Mogadishu and Afgoye.
Joining Dr. Dhiblawe’s family clinic are her two young daughters, Dr. Amina Mohamed Abdi, and most recently, Dr. Deqa Mohamed Abdi. All three now work in the clinic.Hawa Abdi Foundation
The Hawa Abdi Foundation was one of the first NGOs to open in Somalia, and aims to provide quality health care, education that the local nurses and midwives need, and aid the empowerment of women in their communities.
The goal of Dr. Hawa Abdi, the driving force behind the Hawa Abdi Foundation and Hawa Abdi Village, was to help women in Somalia, and especially in the Lower Shabelle area to have better access to health care and education. When the war started, she started to try to provide safety to those seeking shelter on her land.

Nasiib Bunto was an anti colonialist, he fought against the Italians and established a resistance movement and a settlement in Gosha. I believe the Italians ended up killing him. There was a street in Xamar named after him. Allah ha u naxriisto.daiman wrote:So many people!

The following is the only line mentioned about Aweys in the entire article:
He only spread the teaching of the Sufi order in the Southern interior; no mention about converting non-Muslims. No mention at all about him combating the influences of Christian missionaries. Furthermore, the Ajuuraan state*, which was an Islamic state, controlled a large swath of Somalia's interior, including the two rivers and surroundings; a clear proof Islam reached hinterland Somalis way before Aweys' time.Outstanding figures of the Qadiriyah in Somalia included Shaykh Awes Mahammad Baraawi (d. 1909), who spread the teaching of the Sufi order in the southern interior.

The Salihiya vs. the Qadiriya. The 60's Somali state tried to make a national hero out of MAH, which we know today was made up malarky. MAH was a Dhulbahante leader much influenced by the Najdian philosophy. Aweys was broadly educated in the Sudan and Iraq, wrote extensively, and even developed a script to translate Arabic into Somali. MAH had Aweys murdered in 1909, after an exchange of derogatory remarks in which Mah accused Aweys of shirk and Aweys accused Mah of womanizing and other unIslamic behavior. They were both vying for the top religious position in Somalia, and they couldn't have been more opposed. And, of course, there is a difference of opinion today.The_Emperior5 wrote: Sheikh Adan Siiro
