Why are somali dugsis so qashin

[The Honored one]

I used to go to a somali dugsi until one day hooyo took me to an Arab one. No beatings, you learn Seerah and Hadith, and most importantly of all you learn what youre reading. So the question why do somali dugsis suck

 

[Sloane Ranger]

Not all Somali dugsis are the same. I know many ajnabis kids that complained about the ones they went to. Let's not villainize Somalis and prop up others its pathetic.

You already know. Most ajnabis (excluding Arabs) have terrible tajweed, it’s beyond me. All those years of madrasa couldn’t help with their pronunciation

I have good Tawjweed with enough practise anyone can prove. But thats not the point OP is trying to make. He wants to portray all Somali dugsis as brutal but Arab ones as peaceful.

Don't generalize. The dugsi I went to from age 11-17, I was never beaten at and the macalin bought us Donuts if we came at fajr salah to pass our ashar and he would rent out the local school's basketball gym for us on Saturday's - for the people that passed and did well that week.

I'm not saying my experience is shared by everyone, but it's unfair to attack all Somali dugsi's, be fair with your criticism.

Yes, you’re right about that. I’m pretty sure they use violence to “motivate” them too. Usually, I only hear about the racial remarks kids use to other non-Arabs in madrasa, so that’s the only bad part I’ve heard from others’ experiences.

With the tajweed, I was referring to how Somali kids come out of madrasa with perfect pronunciation, regardless of how the teachers treated them

Incorrect. I went to the same somali dugsi from the age of 6 and by the time I was 9 I was already done memorizing 3-4 juz’s. I was eventually moved to a paki dugsi and they made me start all over to basic reading. These xoolos were already 12 and were struggling on reading arabic. I ended up zooming through and finishing the whole quran in 2 weeks without ever once practicing at home because U could read arabic fluently.

I had the same 3 Somali teachers for those years, Macalin Cabdisamad, Macalin Jaamac, and Macalin Abuukar. Not only did they make me memorize quran, they taught me how to read and write arabic, also taught us siirahs and hadiths. At the end of the year they held a competition split in age groups and gender where they’d give us a dua book and make us memorize all the Dua’s their meanings, and when they were supposed to be used.

They didn’t force us, but they said the winners would receive cash prize and other types of prizes. My brother ended up winning a $100. This was all in Khalid Bin Walid. imo I’ve never been to a better dugsi, especially at the time we were all fobs and there was nothing more convenient than all the teachers, imams, and masjid staff speaking fluent somali. Even after all these years we keep in touch.

Somalis are one of the best hafiz qurans in the world. Our pronunciation is uncomparable even if we dont speak Arabic. Kids at 5 know fluent quran in Somalia. But the desi's stutter with the first 2 letters.

Wouldn't trust the arab ones they abuse kids. Rather your kid get beat then molested.
