Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
The further down you go in your lineage the less authenticated it is, when was the earliest mention of Kablalax ? it was probably 50 years ago, you are being duped into thinking you belong to a family called Kablalax, as for these Tagalwaaq nonsense, do your elders even believe in this ?
if I go to an Ogaden elder today in 2018 and ask him his abtirsi, is he going to recite your names ? my grandfather recited my abtirsi, my older uncles recited it, any Reer Miyi in Caabudwaaq area can recite the abtirsi, various chains of narrations authenticate my abtirsi, and the Marehan clan is authenticated through historic books, Kablalax is fake bro, who is trying to trick you ? look no further, its dhaboyaco menace.

Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
Doofaar ismaacil are stuck with names like Kaante, Kumuude, Kabalalax, Goita, Jidwaaq, Siinwaaq, Cabudwaaq, Theodorous, Xiraabu... etc.
So their best idea is to pretend these names from their own abtirsi are fake

Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
You are the one attaching yourself to me, I was not even addressing you, nor have I disrespected you. Of course I am proud of that name, its the name of Garad Xiraabu Goita Theodorus Adamn, the leader of my ancestors, a documented Mujahid, I am more than proud of that, may allah rest his soul in peace.Ben Dover wrote: Wed Apr 18, 2018 6:13 pmThere you have the boon marehan.

I have only highlighted the bizarre, non-Somali name of your ancestor, Xiraabu Goita Theodorous, and the fact that you seem proud of said non-Muslim non-Somali name in your abtirsi.
Also he was no mujahid, he did not answer the Imam's call for jihad. And the war ended with him fleeing punishment from Imam for killing a boy and becoming a refugee in Hawiye country, hardly a valiant mujahid, and more of a craven turncloak.

Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
They gave refuge to Xiaabu like Nigeria gave asylum to Afweyne

But we are not talking about the Hawiye. We are talking about your bizarre sense of pride in having a non-Somali, non-Muslim name in your abtirsi. It is odd for a Somali.
Xiraabu Goita Theodorous can not be called a mujahid as he refused to answer the call for jihad. And he ended up fleeing the wrath of Imam Ahmed and becoming a fugitive in Hawiye land. The Arabic source is clear on this.
Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
why move this education thread away to an unknown catageory.
anyhow, glad someone finally is proud of their true lineage.
now,do u still claim the imam ahmed al gazi is a merehan ?

Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
To me Ahmed Gurey although a great man, is just an individual. The leader of the clan is far more important and from the manuscript we know both Hiraabu and his son Ahmed were leaders of Marehan clan.ramzy2277 wrote: Wed Apr 18, 2018 7:46 pm why move this education thread away to an unknown catageory.

I still claim Ahmed Gurey as its in my oral history, something you choose to completely ignore, even though the manuscript suggest he is from a clan that doesn't exist in present day Somali society.
And I still claim Nur Ibn Mujahid, a claim in my opinion is much stronger as his descendants are alive today, just as Garad Hiraabu descendants are alive today.
What we can agree on is the manuscript does not clarify the clans of neither Ahmed Gurey or Nur Ibn Mujahid, as for Ahmed Xussen, that is neither here or there for me, as we haven't claimed him or the many other historical characters.
I am just here to read this thread about Ahmed Gurey, apart from a little banter, its a shame its being moved to the extreme sections, we have people like Bend over to thank for that, someone whose forefathers have nothing to do with the Adal kingdom.
Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
Yeah.iidoor are relatively small clan in terms of age bcoz they are historically regarded a branch of Maahe Dir.People are just glory hunters but l strongly believe Habar Makida of the Futuh are Bartire.Adal wars lead to the extinction of big Somali and non-Somali(Harla) groups while other important big clans like Geri and Gurgure become small and langaab due to Adal warsZubeirAwal wrote: Wed Apr 18, 2018 2:04 pm Interesting these waaq names can't be seen in Isaaq abtiris, shows the other clans are much more older than ours, for example my lineage

Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
Balwarama , waaq means God .You shouldn't give it all to Galla besides that,waaq names were unique to the ancient Somali.
Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
You must be kidding..The further down you go in your lineage the less authenticated it is, when was the earliest mention of Kablalax ? it was probably 50 years ago, you are being duped into thinking you belong to a family called Kablalax, as for these Tagalwaaq nonsense, do your elders even believe in this ?
through historic books, Kablalax is fake bro, who is trying to trick you ? look no further, its dhaboyaco menace.
Lineages are authentic through out because at every particular point ,there's a branch that joins .The abtirsi may seem a little bit confusing at some point but still they are those who knows the correct abtirsi.
Let me educate u on the mighty kablalah clan breakdown.just a brief one.
Kablalax Darod
Koombe
1.Geri
2.Harti
Kuumade
1.Galimeys
2.Absame
Absame
1.Baalcad
2.Weyteen
3.Jidwaaq
4.Ogaden
Ogaden had only one son called Tagaalwaaq.
Tagaalwaaq had two,Cumar and Barwaaq.
Barwaaq
1.Amuudaan Barwaaq (Maqaabul)
2.Mirwalall Barwaaq
Mirwalaal had one son Kaante
Kaante had one son Yuusuf
Yuusuf
-Camar Yuusuf
-Muuse Yuusuf.
Muuse Yuusuf
-Habar racad (Malonke etc )
-Habar siciid (Talamoge,Baahale)
Talamooge
-Ree Maxamad
-Cabdalle
-Cabdwaaq
Baahale
-Bah Gari
-Cawlyahan
-Maxamad Subeer
OG was small clan from the beginning. His cousin Gerri koombe had 12 sons .This explains why geri took a lions share in Adal while OG was small clan during Futuxul Habesha.Ogaden only become Laandheere in 1600s and early 1700s centuries when they defeated their older brothers ,Jidwaaqs ,in bloody battles.

Re: Axmed Guray - What do you know about him?
You have zero claim to anyone other than your craven ancestor Xiraabu Goita Theodorous.

You have absolutely no academic sources other than a single erroneous article that was debunked earlier in the thread. Which is why you are trying to claim unverifiable "oral history" that you have just made up. At one point your cousin used the fact that a school was named after Nur ibn Mujahid in 2013 as a source

You have no claim. Accept your ancestor Xiraabu Goita Theodorous, you are already proud of his non-Somali non-Muslim name in your abtirsi.
That is one bizarre abtirsi you have, full of iterations of the Oromo pagan Sky-God Waaq AS WELL AS names like Theodorous, Goita and Xiraabu. It clearly shows a history of assimilation into different groups.

P.S: in my family reer Warfaa (the 2nd) you can find people that count only 5 to him and some that count up to 10 including their names like me as well as some that count 13 or 14, all contemporaries!
If you compare our lineages from Darood, Hiraabu who founded the Reer Hiraabay from Cali Boqor Maxamed Daud lived around the same time as Mahamed Zubeyr which I have highlighted. His clan is mentioned as Marehan which is about 17 generations up from Hiraabu, so it would make sense for either OGadeen, Absame, Kablalax to be mentioned.Adali wrote: Fri Apr 13, 2018 7:41 am

Mahamed "Mareehaan"
Ahmed "Sade"....First recorded Somalis, introduction of Somali identity to Written books, Walaashama dynasty existed but with Arab genealogy.
Since Gerri is Koobme Kablalax and they are mentioned, why is Ogaden who is Kumade Kablalax mentioned ?
This is a mystery because you actually live close to the center of Adal, although Adal expanded to most of Somali lands. Its very odd that a clan living so close to the center of Adal has not been mentioned ?
