I actually know of a Somali girl who met her husband at an Islamic convention. She gave her number to the wadaad's friends and they started getting to know each other over the phone.


Is the convention in Minneapolis only for Somalis?

FAH Have You every visited a Somali dominated area? The most hardcore on the Sunnah macalin/Sheikh is constantly trying to hook up all the young people like He's paid to do it. These quran teachers, Imams etc. will constantly come up to You with a 'diyaar matahay' type line. Also its legitimate most of the time because they don't do it in a saqajaan kind of way. The Guy goes through the girls macalin, the macalin lets the girl know and things go from there. Also in the masaajids etc. the guys are always talking about what girl is out there and the girls always talk about what Guy is out there for marriage. We don't live in a Somali dominated area, but I saw this stuff when I went there all the time. :lol:

Murax,

Sh. Khalid Yasin's style is somewhat controversial, but he's still a reputable scholar, don't let the attitude fool you. As for Umal, everyone knows he's by far the best Somali expert on Fiqh we've got, whether Yahya Hajoori calls him a "Mediocre teacher" or not, we all know the real deal. My main beef with the Jadiidi sect is their self-righteous attitude and disrespect of all main-stream scholars from Qardawi to Shariif A/Nur & Umar Faarooq; unacceptable behavior. Culumadii Ilaaheey baa lagu diray, why not educate the people about the essentials of Islam, rather than talking smack about dead Sheikhs?

Kolombo,

Inadeero You should stop thinking that I'm pushing something for a group or anything like that. I don't know where the distrust comes from. Yes I do believe in faham of the Quran and Sunnah with the understanding of the Sahabah and Yes I can see somebody doesn't have knowledge When they don't quote from the Quran, Sunnah, tradition of the Sahabah but from their ownselves/opinions. I have nothing against brother Khaalid Yaasin but He's not of the people of knowledge/cilm. Ka bood. As far as Sh Shareef Abdinoor, Cumar Faaruuq, Sh Umul I have never entered a side in this whole thing as its above My head. I listen to Sh Umul one day, Abdikareem Xoosh the next, Cumar Faruuq one day and Abdullahi Berberawi the next. The whole situation in Somalia today split up the ahlu sunnah of Somalia the same way the Gulf War did in Khaleejta. I stay away from that contraversy.

Assalamu A'leykum,

Shiekh Umal is the man, straight talk. he also refuted the leader of the neo-khalafi movement in yemen. the one called yahya al hajuuri. So Murax what happened to following qalaalah wa qalaa rasull when it comes to hukm of Allah, when it comes to Al jihad fisabililah,when it comes to rejecting taghout which is the piller of tawheed. all of a sudden you become a muqalid and ask us what shiekhs have approved it etc.what happened to following the salaf-us-salih, dont follow the pick and choose manhaj akhi.

Murax is right in Khalid Yasin not being a scholar, his a Dae (caller to islam).. We should all learn the difference between a scholar and a caller to islam.. Nevertheless no one said we couldnt benefit from a brother Khaid Yasin..

scholars are Sh. bin Baz, Sh. Albani, Sh. Uthaymeen etc..


As for Shayk Shareef Abdinur(hafiduallah) his the oldest and most knowledgeabe somali scholar we have today.. Shayk Umal, Xasan Xusein and shayk bashir all agree to this..

the salafi Jadiids have spread lies about the noble shayk shareef Abdinur and the funny thing is most of those who refuted him are half his age and where his students at one point.. The shayk didnt even bother to refute back or defend himself against their lies..

But Alxamduallah Shayk Xasan, Shayk Umal and lately shayk Bashir Shill have all brought out tapes defending the noble scholar Shayk Shareef Abdinur. Let me know if you'll want to hear the tapes :D

It truely amazes me when some somali brothers question sh Yaxye Hujoori about a scholar like Shareef Abdinur who is twice his age and studied along side his teacher sh Muqbul (AUN)..

If we truely believe to be following the salaf than we shouldnt blind follow anybody, not Shayk Rabi nor Shayk Yaxya Hujoori..

I could have sworn I once heard a lecture from Khalid Yasin and he outwardly said "I'm not a scholar" .... but he has done a lot of dawah and alhamdullilah brought a lot of people back to the original deen...
