Anyone know what Somalis worshipped before Islam?

AW, you can provide excuses for ur ppl and fool all the ppl sometimes, but u cant fool them all the time..

Just recognize your mistakes and try to correct them for ur sakes... instead of looking at others..

PS. Ayan hersi is disowned by all muslims..starting with her own father.

Cawar,

You threw qabiil into it.

FACT: Ayan Hirsi is a Darood woman.


FACT: She is a controversial Muslim woman.

FACT: Disowning her does not change her qabiil.

Cawar,

FACT: She is a controversial Muslim woman.

FACT: Disowning her does not change her qabiil.

Lol. fact she is a frikken hoe and an atheist at that..which disqualifies her for anything.


If your/my own father is a non muslim(unlike many of somalis)..he becomes a persona non grata for all intents and purposes..maybe its diff. with you.

FAH,

So you say Real Talk is not TL ? Great.

Cawar,

This is the hypocrisy Ina Baxar was trying to expose before you lot tried ganging up on him.

As FAH says, Real Talk is not TL so why bring Hawiye into the discussion ?

Gedoboy, waaq being sun-god and all these unholy things are things that have entered the market in the last couple years. I finally got around to asking Oromo what Waaq means in their language and they just said it means God, it doesn't mean any specific god but it is a general name for a higher being like God is in English. In English you could say the Muslim God, the Christian God, the Hindu God, etc because God does not mean anything specific. In the same way Waaq does not mean anything specific, it is God in old Afro-Asiatic.

In fact you are right Waaq is also a Semitic/Arabic term. Guess what it means? Waaq in Arabic means protector. One of God's attributes like merfiful, bountiful, etc is also protector which aids the fact Waaq has been misinterpreted by Somali circles in the past couple years.

You can it in the Arabic dictionary under واق (Waaq-protector) and place names in Somalia have this definition:

Caabud-waaq = worship of the protector

Ceel-waaq = the well of the protector

Jid-waaq = the path of the protector

Takal-waaq = tireless protector

Also, many of our religious connotations symbolism has waaq as a root furthering its own existence in our culture as meaning the general name for God as protector as used also in other Afro-Asiatic languages including Arabic:

barWAAQo = living in plentiful and content (Signify as something of god's doing)

garWAAQsan = to be convinced of something (cannotation implies testimony to the conviction of God), also is related to the dispensing of justice

WAAQdhaaco = sacrificial slaughtering (slaughter for the purpose of God)

caWAAQib = what happens to you (fate which is in the hand of God)

ku dhaWAAQ = announce or proclaim something (religious conotation implies proclaiming belief in God)

WAAQsasho = to get something lost back (testifying God's intervention in helping you recover)

Hope this helps the author.

Voltage, you have a point and at the same time you are contradicting your self, all these waaqis were like Hindu deities who represent particular aspects of their Godly powers and are individual gods like Hindu deities, these waaqs were not representing polytheistic faiths like nabi Ibrahim, nabi Ciise or Mose religion. Do you know Arabs before islam they used to call their diets Allah too.

Cawar, warya you deserve a RPG fire through your head with your hypocrisy. It's funny that you have a strict no clan policy in the general section but it is okey for Dooro Mods to take cheap shots.

Yet another Dooro conspiracy plan busted.

Abakar,
