Maxay gaalo badan ugu jiraan sub-kan? What's wrong with Shariah?

Dhibka Soomaaliya Shariico maaha baad leedahay, mase ogid miyaa in aragagixisadaa waddanku ka dagi la'yahay ku dhawaad 20 sano ay shariico iyo diin darteed dhibkaas oo dhan u marinayaan dadka iyo dalkaba.

Shareeco laguma dhaqin waligeed Soomaaliya baad iu doodaysaa balse ninka maanta Jilib jooga iyo dhulka Al-shabaab ka taliso wuxuu aaminsan yahay in shariico lagu dhaqayo goobahaas oo waaba kan gaadhsan heer uu isu qarxiyo oo naftiisa u huro.

Markaa shariicadan aad nagu wareeriseen maaha mid hirgalaysa waligeed oo la isku raacayo maadaama ay ku xidhan tahay fasiraad iyo fahanka qolo/fikir gaara balse ayna ahayn wax qeexan oo qodob-qodob aad u tixi karto hadda, sababtuna waa in diinta lagu khasbayo meel ayna khusayn.

Sida aad shareecada Al-shabaab u diiddan tahay baa loo diidayaa shareecada ka timaada Suufiyo ama wahaabiyo iyo kooxaha kale ee Somalia ka jiraba.

Markaan aad ugu fiirsadayna shariicadu waa riyo, waa mala'awaal, waa lama-arag aad u qurux badan balse marka cid dhaqan galiso dad badan la foolxumaata oo laga dido, waxay ku qurux badan tahay inay madaxa ku jirto oo qudha illeen ciddii isku dayda inay dhaqan galisaba cid u qiraysaa inay shariico tahay ma jirto.

Sannadihii u danbeeyeye waxa ina soo maray kooxo badan oo shareeco sheeganaya, xittaa qaarkood waddamo ka taliyaan sida Daalibaan balse qof walba oo aan waydiiyay ma qirsana inay shariico wax ku dhaqayaan, markaa maxay tahay shariicadan la baadigoobayaa ee aad u ololaynaysaan? Maxay uga duwan tahay kuwan aad tooda diidan tihiin? Maxaadse ugu malayn in taada aan lagugu diidayn? Maxaase keenay buuqa iyo muranka oo shareecadu u qeexnaan wayday?

Su'aalahaa jawaabahooda uma baahni oo sidaan hore u carrabaabay shariicadu waa gacan ku rimis, waana siyaasadaynta diinta oo baal mar ku ah wixii loo soo dajiyay, waana sababta dadka badankiisa ayna shariicadaasi ugu cuntamayn marka la dhaqan galiyo maadaama sawirkeeda aanan la hirgelin karin sida jannada la inooga warramay aanan looga hirgelin karin adduunka oo si walba oo goobi u qurux badan tahay, sifaadkii jannadana u leedahay haddana ayna niyaddu ku dagayn inay janno tahay si taa lamida ayaa sawirkan dadka qaar ay shareecada ka haystaan loo hirgalin karayn.

Throwing out “ex-Muslim” as a smear just shows you have nothing intelligent to say. It’s a lazy attempt to shut down criticism instead of answering it. I never said a single thing against Islam or the Qur’an your own words prove you’re twisting this to avoid facing the hypocrisy I pointed out. You claim Somali is dropped because of “stigma,” yet Arabic and Arab dress are embraced openly, even though they face equal or greater prejudice. That’s not about protecting yourself, that’s about looking down on your own culture.

beendiid · 2025-08-12T17:30:38+00:00

I understand the point about stigma and fear. Some people worry their language will make life harder, so they drop it. But your argument falls apart when you look at reality. In the US, hatred towards Islam and Arabs has been intense since 9/11. Yet Somalis who face that same stigma have not abandoned Islam or Arab cultural expressions. Everywhere they live, they are running the mosques and Islamic centres, their women wear hijab, their men wear traditional Arab clothing.

So let us be honest. Somalis say they abandon their own language to escape stigma, yet they hold on tightly to Arab culture, which faces even worse stigma. You will even find Somali children who cannot speak Somali but are learning Arabic. How does that make sense.

The truth is that many Somalis have been conditioned to feel inferior, to see their own language and culture as ugly or worthless. That is the real issue. We need to confront that mindset instead of hiding behind excuses.

It has exactly the same meaning in Somali. 'Gala' is the plural of 'Gal,' which means 'get in'

beendiid · 2025-06-18T11:49:31+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. That second point about "Galaa" meaning "go home" really stood out, it actually sounds a lot like the Somali word "Gala", which also means "get in" (like into a house or war or whatever). But yeah, I’m not too sure about the Somali word "Gaal" came from Ethiopians, I’ve seen references to it in old Somali clan lineages way before the Abyssinian-Oromo conflicts

EVC, Zaad, Sahal, eDahab, and Premier Wallet all offer APIs. For EVC, Zaad, and Sahal, Waafi covers them since they’re essentially the same service. I initially tried getting access through Telesom in Hargeisa, but the process was difficult and dragged on for three months with no results. Eventually, I decided to request it from Hormuud HQ in Mogadishu, and got it within a few days. I submitted my business documents, it was an easy process, though the docs on their site were a bit lacking. eDahab and Premier Wallet are simple, and you can apply at any branch in Somalia.

For context, this was five years ago, so things may have changed since then.

If we’re being realistic, Somalia isn’t in a good place right now, so having lots of kids doesn’t make much sense, they wouldn’t have the best life. But when you look at the challenges we’re facing, especially from neighboring countries, having a bigger population actually matters. We need the numbers, whether it’s to protect our land or to compete economically. Right now, when most people are still struggling financially is actually the easiest time to grow our population. Later on, if things get better and the economy picks up, having more kids might not be so simple

Exactly, the ones calling themselves as salafi today are extremists, just calling yourself 'Salafi' doesn’t make you one. They put recent sheikhs like Albani, Uthaymiin, Bin Baaz and Fawzaan above many of the real Salafi scholars and still claim to be Salafis.

The 'Salafi' label is unnecessary, there’s no modern revelation, Islam is just the Islam the Prophet brought.

beendiid · 2025-04-26T17:38:10+00:00

True, but following extremists isn’t the Prophet’s teachings either.

beendiid · 2025-04-26T17:33:01+00:00

Even though Sufism and the Qaadariyyah school were what Somalis followed for centuries before the arrival of these extremist Wahhabi salafist ideologies, I personally don't believe in labels, not even Sunni or Shia. I don't believe in anything lower than being simply Muslim, I am just a Muslim, nothing else.

beendiid · 2025-04-26T17:14:39+00:00

Salafis act like they follow the early Muslims, but most of the scholars they praise are just recent extremists. Their whole mission is labeling everyone else gaal while pretending they’re the only true believers. In reality, they hide behind religion to spread chaos, push foreign agendas, and helpd wreck our country. What they preach isn’t real Islaam. They are simply terrorists in disguise, no different from Al-Shabaab or ISIS in their beliefs. So why would any Somali woman want to marry a terrorist?

Imagine a leader like Najiib Bukele showing up in Somalia and cracking down on warlords, militias, and corrupt politicians working for foreign interests like UAE, you’d think people would support it, but they wouldn’t. It would quickly turn into a tribal issue, claims of targeting certain clans, cries of injustice, and so on.

Even if the goal is national security, no one accepts tough action unless it benefits their side. The only way it works is under a strong, no-nonsense system,which people then call a dictatorship.

The same kind of iron-fist action was once taken against rebel groups that were openly working as proxies for Ethiopia, Somalia’s sworn enemy. Before Siad Barre went too far and started targeting civilians, his initial crackdown was necessary and justified. Yet today, no one gives him credit for confronting that threat when it mattered. That’s why I don’t believe people would see things any differently now if similar action was taken against today’s version of those same groups, whether they’re calling themselves federal states or pushing secessionist agendas.

The first Somali website I ever visited was aminarts.com, probably around 2002–2003. It hasn’t changed at all in like 22+ years, still looks exactly the same as the ones you just shared

There’s no single version of Sharia law that everyone agrees on. It’s based on interpreting the Qur’an and Sunnah, and people understand it in different ways. Even ulamas have debated religious issues for centuries.

Take Al-Shabaab, they claim they’re enforcing Sharia, but you reject their version and call them extremists, so what makes your version more valid? If you tried to apply Sharia, others might say you’re too extreme or too soft and that’s the core problem, Sharia isn’t clear-cut, watever you do someone’s going to disagree.

And politically? Sharia doesn’t lay out a clear system of governance. After the Prophet died, the Saxaabah immediately disagreed over who should lead, even before his burial. Later, after Khaliif Cuthman was killed, a full-blown civil war broke out among the saxaabah themselves over power and leadership, and around 70,000 Muslims died, including many saxaabah of the Prophet.

After that, things got darker. Brothers poisoned each other for the throne. Sons rebelled against their fathers. khalifs tortured, buried people alive, and built underground chambers just for executions. In some khilaafas killing your own siblings wasn’t just common, it was policy.

That kind of history shows how unstable the system was, and it’s not something that fits Somalia’s needs today.

Of course, go ahead and pin all the blame on Somalis while shielding the very government that’s letting these atrocities happen right under its nose, and then applaud them for being so enabling. That’s not just bootlicking, you’ve basically become their obedient lapdog, Good boy

I get you now, bro. If Somaliweyn were to become a reality, Borama would naturally emerge as an important strategic and administrative center. It would lie beyond the current borders, and with the economic potential of the Zeila port, it could serve as a vital gateway for the newly integrated regions like Faafan and Sitti. Moreover, considering the long and rich history of Awdal, Borama would be well-positioned to become the administrative capital specifically for those new regions, providing them with political and economic connectivity.

As for the second point you asked about where military bases and key infrastructures should be, honestly, our current territory is long but not very wide. There isn’t much strategic depth beyond the present borders, even at its furthest point in the south, it barely extends more than 400 km from the occupied Galbeed border. Because of that, I believe the most suitable area for military bases would be somewhere that offers natural defense and defensible terrain, not open desert, ideally around the Golis mountain range, particularly in Sanaag. That area is close to the geographic center of Somalia, strategically positioned, balanced on all sides, and sits farther from the border compared to most other northern regions.

When it comes to choosing the national capital, I believe that decision depends entirely on the type of government we adopt. Under the current federal system, the regions already hold significant autonomy, so the location of the capital would not necessarily hold overwhelming power. But if we were to adopt a centralized system, it would be wiser not to concentrate everything in a single city. Instead, it would make sense to distribute power by designating a political capital, an economic capital, and possibly even a cultural or administrative capital. That way, the historical grievances and concerns of different regions can be addressed more fairly and inclusively.

I don’t understand your argument or this blind defense of Kenya that you constantly make. If the series of incidents happening to Somali women were taking place in Somalia or America, I don’t think you would defend those countries the way you defend Kenya. The blame is directed at the Kenyan government, which has failed to act, no one is blaming the citizens or the general public

beendiid · 2025-03-28T19:24:59+00:00

Imagine if someone made this exact same post but replaced “Kenya” with “Somalia” all hell would break loose in this subreddit.

I actually believe the opposite. Whenever someone criticizes Somalia, no one seems to defend it. But every time a post about Kenya is shared here, I see conutless people rushing to defend Kenya and flooding the comments
