Most of them know each other from growing up in government housing projects, so they're all well aware of each person's lineage. You can join the club but you can never aspire to hold a position (treasurer/president/vp of communications) 'cause they vote along qabil lines. Even if their person is unsuitable/unqualified for the role.

Oh I was talking about student clubs at university. The mosque thing I think is mainly being made to feel unwelcome/excluded if you're not of the majority tribe.

New beginning, new start for someone who has finally seen the light.Alhadaaya mina Allah.

I think a new start is a simple start. Small steps are important.

A simple start..

then i wouldnt join such thing! authobillah. but they grow up in the west, how they understand the qabiil? they may know names but they would be clueless about complicated somali lineage! even for me i thought i understand well cause i grow up similar arab tribal society , im confused as hell when they told me different things about my own lineage! then i gave up on understanding it.

Yup. Qabiil even comes into play with masjids here.

Khalid ibn al waliid lol

Khalid is qabiil based?

Ever prayed there once and only because it was kinda the closest.

I remember there being this huge power struggle there. Basically 2 qabiils fighting over who gets to control the mosque.

Nabeela your qabil was part of the problem at khalid.

Beans your from Toronto?

Masjid iyo qabiil bal maxaa isku keeney?? yaab everyonw who is muslim should feel welcome at the masjid after all people are there for the same reason: to worship their Creator

That is just really sad.

Alchemist,Not really,from surrounding area tho.

Nabeela come on I think your a few years late to start claiming another qabil now. Now let me tell you what role your qabil played at khalid since I grew up there. And by your qabil I don't mean everyone but the few key individuals. When the fitna started they the M wadaads lined up with two other qabils to over power one qabil. Thank God my qabil was not involved this time.

Beans oh ok, I don't know why I thought you were from Australia, maybe is cause your always chatting with Twist and his from there. Is sad though your from boring old Canada like the rest of us.

Ajarka maa la isku diida

greenday if I ever met you in a mosque I would have pushed you to the back of the line.
