Ladies, Im going to give you a cheat code on finding a great man

If you want to know whether a man, after he satisfies the physical requirements that you have, wlll treat you right, then theres only one test.

No, it is not about how he treats his mom because - like it or not - every man is a mama's boy.

Rather, look as to how he treats his sisters - both younger and older.
For the younger sister, a man should have an overflowing level of love and mercy for her that is second only to the one he has for his mother.
For the older sister, he should have some type of respect for her and willingness to shield her shortcomings even if they dont particularly get along.

If a man has both, hes a keeper.
If he has the first but not the second, hes most likely a keeper.
If he has the second but not the first, be wary.
If he has neither, then run.
That’s incredible insight! And honestly totally makes sense. A man’s first protection and respect and love for women starts with his mom and then his sisters, once married it’s his wife and his daughters.

Now, question? I’ve noticed in my life and my observation of other Somali siblings around me I’ve never really seen Somali guys care all that much for their sisters. And most are definitely not that protective of them at least here in the west. I heard in Somalia back in the day they were and would even beat guys who look at their sisters the wrong way but I personally haven’t seen that. What would you say about that?

I think you’re making shit up.

Wallahi sister you bring up a good point.
Back home, the relationship with a man and his sister was special and because of that your sister's kids were very valuable as well. You would confide in them so that even if they belonged to a different qabil, they would inevitably be a success in that qabil.

The problem with the West, sister Amirah, is that we lack the notion of Sharf or Hoormat. Hoormat being the inherent sacredness of something (I blame salafis for this). We dont understand the sacredness of the Quran, of Muhammad SAWS, of parents and filial relationships. Of course brothers and sisters fight growing up but the maintenance of hoormatiyya is what allowed my ancestors and your ancestors to have baraka in their affairs.

Hoormatiya, after Islam, is based on two things and two things only: Respect to/Elevation of the Elders and Mercy towards the young.

When that is missing, baraka is compromised

Mash’Allah! Absolutely true! Well thought out response that actually makes sense! I’ll definitely add you to my very short list of the sane and honorable people here. Thanks, Jazakallah! 🙏🏽
 
Honestly, that is not a guarantee. See how well a man treats you. If he’s always respectful, has never belittled or yelled at you and is always dependable then he’s a keeper.

Nothing is a guarantee in life sister and i speak in absolutes for the sake of simplicity and ingestion but as Allah (SWT) says


Thus does Allah bring the dead to life, and He shows you His signs that you might reason

Al Baqara, 73

What you and i have posted are just signs and EVERYTHING is and has a sign.

I agree. It’s not a guarantee at all.

You blame salafis? Can you elaborate on that ? I’m curious.

Wallahi you speak the truth.

Corrupt women are for corrupt men, and corrupt men are for corrupt women; good women are for good men and good men are for good women. The good are innocent of what has been said against them; they will have forgiveness and a generous provision.

I blame Salafis in the sense that they have reduced the deen to Nass and Athar. Dont get me wrong, as a student of knowledge, I understand the importance of text and i spend hours in them. However, the text conveys a reality that has to be tasted and experienced to really understand the absolute haqq of Islam.

Once you have that taste, then you will never treat that thing with anything less than its due sacredness.

For example, if you have tasted a loss of baraka because of disobedience to the parents, you will place the necessary sacredness in that.

When you have seen the benefit of salatul nabi and seen the transformative effect of saliheen, you will give tbe Messenger (SAWS) a greater degree of sacredness.

Same thing with filial love, sadaqa, good character dhikr ect.

The framework for these these things are fron the authentic texts, but their haqiqa must be experienced (i.e the sweetness of iman) for a person to truly truly make it muthabitan (firmly established) in the person.

Yes, but Allah tests good men and women with their spouses sometimes. You can be good and end up with a nightmare spouse.

This whole narrative that if you're decent, you're automatically destined to have an amazing spouse is false.

We need to make lots of dua, tie our camel by looking out for redflags and pray for khair InshaAllah.

The narrative is not false but you are definitely right wallahi because righteous people are always tested with evil even if its their wife (Kamaa Lut) or children (Kamaa Loot) or entire community (Kamaa Musa)

Tawfeeq is only from Allah

Somali, is a race
I know some Somali men who treat both their mothers and sisters horribly but treat their wives like queens and some who treat their mothers well and their wives the opposite. Only Allah knows who we will end up with.
