Like mother like daughter

[Sir-Luggoyo]

This is what the daughter says:

But within the Somali community, the vast majority of which is Muslim, it's Khadro's playing that's most controversial. Since beginning basketball in fifth grade, she's had to respond to the same questions:

Don't you have to wear shorts to play? (Yes, she wears shorts.)

Do you keep your head covered? (No, she doesn't wear hijab while playing.)

Khadro constantly struggles with the questioning. "I love my culture. I love my religion," she said. When it comes to not wearing hijab, "Half of me says it's bad. But the basketball court is sort of separate from those things."




And this is what the mother says:

Occasionally, Barlin manages to get away to visit with friends and family in London, Holland and, recently, California.

She flipped through photos of her trip. In many, she poses in front of an aqua sea along a rocky beach. She's wearing colorful, stylish dresses, sunglasses and jewelry. And her hair is free from her hijab.

"It's not a good thing. I wear it always," she explained. "But sometimes... sometimes you can go outside your culture."

Mom basically thinks that Hijaab is cultural, what a lost cow

[Ina Baxar]

It thinks it is just the fear of the unknown that makes the parents a lil uneasy.
Everybody wants their kids to grow up like they did, so a somali mother will associate the fact that her daughter is not wearing the hijab with her straying away from her roots.

What unknown are you talking about???
The mother grew up a muslim.If the daughter grows up non-muslim the result is known.
She is worried her daughter could end up in Jahanam, Jaxiima, Xumaza, Hawiyah, etc.

One fact to note clearly is thousands and thousands of muslim girls of her age are following their diin without any problem.
It is not like the kufars are forcing them to remove hijab or wear shorts in public.

LOOL @ a the naar called Hawiyah ileen hawiye waxey la degi la'yihiinba waxbaa ka jidha. thnx for clearifying this for me huuno.

[Ina Baxar]

Wearing a hijab is not your ticket to Paradise , go preach somewhere else mate!

[COSTA]

The Naar is called Haawiyah not Hawiyeh

[surria]

first of all, Hi to ina baxar;)

Secondly, person’s clothes do not determine their religious piety. One can have on a burqa and still have bad iimaan.

[Ina Baxar]

, surria , good day to you too.

It sickens me when I see a girl wearing the Hijaab and what looks like she is following the same deen as me, then you look closer and she has a cigerette in her hand, or even worse the guy next to her isn't her brother after all, but they are holding hands and displaying a sick show for us.What is eveeeen worse, is I once saw a girl with the Hijaab wearing a short dress (which was really nice btw), only problem was it was just above her knees and she was wearing leggings with it.. Hello? Leggings?..Ok trousers.. But tight azz Leggings? Cajib walahi.

Walle sometimes I feel like going up to those girls and telling them to take if off, how dare they? What religion do they follow again??
Just because they are wearing the Hijaab it is okay do to what they want ?? They think they have met the requirements and Allah swt will be pleased with them?.. Acuduubillah!!!!

So my point is--Basically for some people, they honestly know no better, it's not Islam they are following is Tradition & Culture.
It can work both ways, I say the girl has made a good choice not to wear the Hijaab with Shorts, because they collide-Simple!.. It's either one or the other matey im affraid.. & InshaAllah tacalah, once she gets over her kufar phase, she will learn what Islam is about a little more than 'what my mother follows'.. Ya feel me? SAX!

Xijaab is a bullschit Arabian culture. Arabs kept their women hidden away. Somali Women in the nomadic society tended their small animals, made household implements, built the Aqal Soomaali, cooked food. They had no time to be wearing cumbersome and impractical tents.

Down with Arabian Culture. Up with Somali culture.

Down with Abuu Mucaad

Up with Ina Diir Qadhaadh ... I saw that reading an article Somaliweyn.com today
