Hebel hebel said this kulaha I quoted the Quran kkkk you're clutching at straws I presented you with facts and all you have is emotions what you feel and how it makes others feel and how we feel my g forget how we feel and present the evidence.
Somalis should modernise xeer and create our own system of government no Democracy no Communism no Marxism
Dr do you think that the current 4.5 system is the be all and end all for the Somali political system? Do you not think it's discriminatory to some groups living in the country? Should it not be xeer as you say and some form of meritocracy?Yep simply do what the UAE did, turn their cultural systems into a modern system of government!!! I think that's what we should do. We could sit under a tree and remember the 'peace' this system enjoys as nomads move and share resources without any conflict, rather then sit in a western hotel which we have been doing since the 60s!!!

Suldan, All I was say on this matter is. I don't believe in an Islam where allah looks at how big your islamic caliphate was and how you conquered people. Islam is about yourself and god, it has nothing to do with what someone else is doing!!! When you die you are judged on your life results, not asked about other people, infact your parents will run from you. It's an individual orientated religion and should stay that way!!!
I believe in a personal islam, a religion between me and god. After all I prefer to go to god and say, I created a system that unites people like the prophet did in medina with his medina constitution which was totally secular allowing rights for jews and pagans equal rights in the states, created a check n balance by declaring rights for each groups, responsibilities, and of course consequences!!! I will answer to god and say the reason why I support a system that is based on 'results' is because there is no other way to unite people except along common values shared. Everyone wants freedom, everyone wants equality, everyone wants justice. These are the only things we can agree on. We surely can't agree on tribe, religion, and other divivise matters. Hence why the constitution in median was very secular, it attempted to resolve differences by uniting people across common ground which is shared humanity and those core values I just stated!!!
I want to tell god, I wanted my people to survive not fight each other. I left behind a system that focussed on what they can agree on. We can agree on the fact the best man should get the job based on merit, not because he is a muslim, or she wears a hijab, or he is a secularist!!! we want the best person for the role, identity politics is age old institutions that rewards people on 'superficial' matters that hold no weight. The quran says clearly 'every people destroy themselves first' it's up to us to survive. If we want to be in a perpertual state of war then play identity politics like clan, religion, race etc and eventually we will wipe each other out and nothing will be left. No1 will be able to pray anymore, fast anymore, and I feel god will look down on you and say 'how can i reward u for anything in life when you destroyed it and went against your own common sense', you are basically a 'qowm is-halaagay'.
This is a very deep issue which I will provide my best anaylsis in the future, look out for the topic ISLAM AND SOMALIA.
One of my personal favorite ministers is maryan qasim, she is very religious. You think I would ever say to remove her from the role? buddy i look at results of people, just like allah looks at our results!!! I don't look at identity politics. You could wear a whole damn burka but if you the best person and have the best mind, i want you taking the lead!!! As long as u respect the constitution, just like everyone had to respect the constitution in medina, when they didnt and the jews broke it, if the prophet didnt exile them, the whole state would've collapsed as mistrust and fitna would be generated and everyone returning to tribal politics!!! So if any1 breaks the constitution in somalia we must do the same hence why I keep suggesting we need a NATO pact of sort as a check n balance on the government. I will be the first to shoot at a secularist if he breaks the constitution. I honestly dont play identity politics!!!
You know if u honestly dont want freedom-equality-justice, core values of all humans, then you want domination and regardless what your background is, your a fitnah in the land and must be eliminated regardless if it is a tribal person, religious person, secularist person!!! if you dont want a system where everything is shared along results then you want people to break back down to 'jahiliyah' and you are the devil in my eyes regardless what 'cloak' you are disguise yourself in!!!
No one asked you about the caliphate and no where is it mentioned in any islamic sources that one will be questioned about how big it was. Furthermore despite your futile attempt to redefine islam as a private religion one will indeed be questioned about other people it'll be a part of what you referred to as "life results". Please bring us evidence to what you're claiming about islam that it's an individual orientated religion ?? ever heard of the phrase Ummah ? It depends on the type of job being talked about , why should a gaal be in charge of somalia when it's a muslim majority country ? could you give me a list of examples from western nations that are led by practising muslims ? You're using medina as a point of reference to argue for your case but we've the Quran why dont you use it ? When muslims captured makkah the idols inside the kaabah were destroyed, the prophet peace be upon him also ordered the sahabah to destroy public idols in different regions, now this according to you will be injustice but in islam it isn't considered injustice. The reason being any form of idolatry in public isn't allowed in islam.
You mean to tell God that you found a better way of governance than the one sanctioned by Him ? how does that work ? freedom equality, justice are all relative and valueless unless they're grounded on a foundation that foundation for us muslims is one sanctioned by Him. Now you want to change that foundation and base it on what you personally believe in or should i say convinced of ? What you fail to realise is that there's no multiple paths to God there's only one which is sanctioned by Him, any other path is a deviation from the valid one accepted by God. The shahadah affirms that worship is to Allah only and negates it for anyone other than Allah and a muslim is one who submits to Allah meaning we're slaves and Allah is our Master. This is the relationship that exists between Allah and His creation now you want to argue otherwise. If you wish to follow your own path then you're free to do so but please stop trying to recruit us in your path we aren't interested nor are the people of somalia.
The islam u know has been handed down to you thru interpretations to suit an agenda, If they are so against idols, why didnt they break the ones in egypt when they conquered it?. Like I said, the islamist will be analyzed in depth, just be patient until I do an article for it!!! All I can tell u my friend is, the islam your being taught has roots in 'salafist' man named abdul wahab!!! this man version of islam is what your following, not the early form of islam, which I will highlight a number of evidences that goes against it!!! U r only to fight who fights u on the grounds of religion, you are not supposed to go on 'expansions' around the world and build a damn khilafa for u r the transgressor then which is one of the biggest sins!!! Put it this way the prophet would of never expanded beyond the target aggressor. He always tried to bridge differences through a mutually acceptable constitution before taking up arms!!!
When a people cannot agree on tribe, religion, politics, and other divivise matter, it is only reasonable they sit down and agree on some values. U want to be free dont u to practise your faith? so do I? which is enshrined in our nomaidc way of life. Gaal dil and gartisa si? as long as they don't break the system you both are under, let him be or else u r the trangressor and trying to cause fitna in the land, regardless of what cloak(muslim) you wish to cover yourself in!!! U want to be free dont u to bring new ideas and have an avenue to express it? this is very supported in our culture where they sit under a tree and everyone freely expresses his greivances, opinion, ideas. U want equality dont u? so do I? big and small clans enjoy the same rights under our nomadic system!!!
U want to be able to access jobs based on your ability not your identity dont u? same with justice u want the rule of law applied equally to people dont u? not this farce happening in saudi arabia where only the poor get the brunt of the law and rich walk away or certain tribes and families are immune!!! without justice system it causes a civil war to occur because there is nowhere a person can take his greivances cause its either corrupt(costs to much) or non existant like in Somalia!!! Societies not grounded in strong values, will never survive!!! values are like the root of a tree, once it's established, the tree can blossom(development across the country) while the root holding it is core values!!! Countries like saudi arabia are not built to last, the root is not values, the root is 'money' giving welfare to their people like homes, study, health, income, in return they keep the peace and dependence on arms(usa) to enforce the peace, these things are not 'unlimited' money and arms can disappear anytime when the oil runs out!!! they are opened up basically to be broken back down into jahiliyah when they can't bribe people anymore to keep the peace.
That's when opportunistic locals and foreigners will instigate 'mistrust' across the country as resources are no longer there and people are not satisified. They are not like our nomads who will not kill each other regardless of famine or poverty, because their system is rooted in 'deep values' that they respect!!! I must say their nomads the arabs are also holding deep values the UAE successfully did it!!! they can last for a lot longer since their system reflects what their nomadic one is which can survive. King Faisal said they can return to nomadic way of life if oil runs out when he was doing the embargo on the USA over involvement in israel!!! So I am not sure 100% but the current form of saudi arabia the way it's built, I know for a fact won't last forever, it simply isn't built too!!! It requires resources to keep it afloat, not shared values!!! Same with the west. Why u think romans, greeks, pharoahs and basically every empire collapsed? cause they were built on resources and once that runs out the comfort is over and its civil war!!!
These are not systems I want to see adopted, we want to leave behind for our people a system that can stand the test of time for centuries and mellenias, where the people can hug each other and hold hands even if resources don't exist like the nomads do, and the only way to do that is to implement their system!!! As long as we aim to keep humans alive, there is always hope, but the second humans are gone, hope is finished, there is no going back from that!!! So our system must aim to keep us alive thru good and bad times!!!
There is nowhere in the quran where it says to break idols, it says not to worship anything but allah but to break them not a single source!!! This can explain why they never broke them where-ever the early muslims went, not this nonsense you respond with 'number of other reasons'.
Now u shoot yourself in the foot allowing for islamic administrations to get away with what u call 'mismanagement' then complain that in the west you get discriminated upon and the system isn't perfect. It's funny how u apply two different standards dont you think? you won't allow to include 'mismanagement' for the western model, but allow it for the 'islamic model'. Listen it's not even about management, it's about core values. Everywhere there is a people, if they are not in agreement on values that are shared between them, they can never function. U see this in businesses, the first thing is the 'values' of that business, it's culture. If you don't align with their culture, you could bring in 'filth' and destroy the company from within. It's not just businesses, but schools, media, govts, or any sort of shared space between humans.
Yes u got something right. I don't believe the western and muslim systems are built to last operating today are built to last, I brought evidence for that!!! U can see all the different caliphates collapsing over time, u can see all the different western civilizations collapsing also!!! U have to study deeply what made these people great was the core values of their system and it's enforcement, this led to advancement and wealth and once those started to kick in especially the excessive wealth, they forgot about the core values and it's enforcement. Corruption started to come in, bad administration, people started to lose faith, and eventually a slow but predictable crumble either from within or from outside.
It honestly doesn't matter if u have the quran as ur base of system or a constitution, the second the core values are not seen anymore in the society, basic core values that all humans want. Freedom-Equality-Justice, you are on the path of destruction!!! These are not western core values, these are humanity core values. Every human has operated in this fashion since day 1, it wasn't the westerners who created it. They created democracy feeling this 'answers' those core values, which in reality it doesn't.
I don't care what system is in somalia, all I will be looking or is those core values, cause I know that is the only thing that unites people, not the quran, not a language, not a tribe, not a national identity!!! all these are 'identity' politics and identities can change over time and with that comes a collapse of your system but core values I mentioned, that is static regardless of time or era or where-ever humans may be. I could be in a desert riding a camel, or in the jungles of the amazon, or in mecca itself. Everyone wants these core values!!! Why u think the prophet sent his early people to abssyinia? its about core values sxb of a society, all humans yearn for it!!!
Your not trying to create a system that answers these core values which unite people regardless of what their denomination, religion, tribe, race, all this identity politics crap, like the abssyinian king did. Because a society flourishes when the people feel they have those needs answered, they can carry on and move on to progress their country and people rather then be a in perpertual state of war or mistrust and suspicion!!! U want to force your system on top of others which will only lead to a clash in the end which is what is occurring!!!
If u can demonstrate how islamism can fit into our culture, then welcome. If u can't sxb, your pulling on straws and have ulterior motives which maybe whatever it is. Just say this basically. Islamic system does this and does that and then point to the nomads and say look they do this and do that so it will fit into our society!!! nothing else. We need a framework to work from that is agreed before we discuss what system we will adopt. A working framework is something both my eyes and your eyes can see 'PEACE IN THE NOMADIC AREAS'. I can't fake that for u, u see it, i see it, somalis see it. Now lets address how ur system can create that 'oasis' of peace that they enjoy!!! thats all u need to do, other wise its just your 'theory' and i dont buy into theories!!!!
Noone really should care about identity politics, it doesnt bring horumar!!! who cares if someone follows allah or they dont, all u should care about is this person producing benefit for the society. If u hate kuffar so much, stop taking kuffar medicine, using technology, military arms, etc!!! How is it you islamist use everything that the westerner created and criticize them, you shouldnt use anything they create because its from kuffar as you say, it must be bad.
In reality, in somalia I envision where we dont care if ur muslim, christian, atheist. Just respect the constitution and rule of law and demonstrate how u can add 'productivity' to the society, thats all we care about, we are society that is based on 'waxqabad' basically just 'results' not identity bullshit!!! we will become the biggest superpower this world has ever seen since we rose above bullshit that is meaningless and based everything on 'results'
Dont u see what happens when a society is based on core values of humanity, what this can lead too? if everything is based on freedom-equality-justice, it can lead to only differentiating people on results and waxqabad nothing else. This mean our society will eventually be identity less and unite with people on 'results' only!!! this is something everyone can agree on that we unite on results not dividing things that are pointless!!! We will be laughing at the rest of the world divided over t hings that bring no benefits to them basically and we supercede them. The second we go off track though, we will fall into same pits of other civilizations!!!
What are you on about ? i just gave you an example about the idols of ka'bah being destroyed and here you're still asking for more. There's a lot of things which aren't explained in the quran example how to pray etc but are in the hadith laakin both complement one another. Go read about the story of the idols of ka'abah for yourself .
I asked you to list a number of things that democracy can provide which wouldn't be possible in an islamic system, what do you do ? you start critiquing some gulf nations and how their countries aren't going to last etc, what has this go to do with what i asked for.? that's why i brought up the statement about mismanagement so that you realise that it has no bearing on what islam can or can't achieve. I didn't apply different standards simply gave an example of my experience living in the west, i wasn't using it to compare the islamic one that's your interpretation, furthermore i did mention that mismanagement occurs in any society.
If you didn't care what system somalia adopted then you wouldn't be against "political islam" nor would you be advocating for "democracy" despite admitting they both are faulty. Core values, humanity what are they if they aren't based on sound foundations ? empty slogans that serve no benefit at all.You're entitled to your opinions but not facts sidas darteed continue on living your dream. When you manage to create such a society let me know for now i'll rather stick to reality as it is
It's better for you to simply stay away from somali politics as you're going to cause more harm than good, somalia isn't the place where you would want to spread your ideas. Far better people than you have tried and failed. If you aren't muslim iska iloow soomalia
By the way suldan, inquistitve. U can call me gaal all u want, I am not like other muslims who will get emotional about it!!! My islam isn't between u and me, I am not answering to you in judgement day, I really could care less if u see me as a muslim or not!!! So just remember that, ha igu qaldamin with some others who have to 'prove' their muslim to others, me I could care less if u think I am or not. your the last thing on my mind when death comes rolling my way!!!
I will let somalis judge what they can see with their eyes 'the peace in nomadic areas' and your 'idealogy' with no proof where it's working!!! people are not simple minded like you sxb, we want proof in this day of reasoning, the days of just sayin the quran said this isn't enough!!!
Being a muslim isn't something i or anyone else has defined it's what Allah has defined it to be, if you don't ascribe to what Allah has ordained then that's your personal choice laakin don't try to mislead nor impose on us what you're convinced of as being correct. Why should we leave what Allah has obligated on us to do for your understanding ? a mere human claiming to have come up with a better system than the one Allah ordained, do you realise how messed up this is ? . Keep your believes to yourself as without a doubt they deviate from that which the people of somalia believe in.
We're slaves to Allah not to human beings
