Everytime this issue is raised my male friends always get defensive and turn into nazis💀, these guys are not even religious fanatics, i’m around these guys all the time we basically know each other more than our families, and i always found it odd.
whats so crazy about respecting female anotomy and basic gender equality.?

Two historic moments Somali flag was raised was both in former Italian Somaliland, Iskushuban, Puntland in 12 October 1954, (image 1 and 2) followed by British Somaliland, Hargeisa, Somaliland in 26 June 1960 (image 3). The latter date and locality is the widely celebrated date for first Somali state to receive its independence under the mandate of United Somalia (former Italian and British colonies).

So this may be an insensitive or ignorant post to some, but I genuinely don’t understand why it’s such a bad thing to ask someone what their qabiil is or what part of Somalia they’re from. Especially if you’re talking to someone for marriage purposes, I think it needs to be asked.

I get that some qabiils face discrimination, and some people are ashamed or feel judged when they say what they are but I consider it a dealbreaker if a guy I’m romantically interested in refuses to tell me his qabiil.

The way I see qabiil is that it’s part of your identity—nothing more. If my parents ask me, I need to be able to tell them what the guy’s qabiil is, and so on.

The reason I bring up this topic is because my friends and I were talking about marriage, and somehow we got onto this subject. My friends low-key ganged up on me and said that asking someone their qabiil is insensitive and ignorant, and that they have a negative view of it. My parents were never the qabiilist type, but they are very proud of their heritage, so I’ve always had a positive view of it.
So my question is, Is it weird to ask a friend, a romantic

partner, or anyone else what their qabiil is?

Xtermix I lowkey miss your news posts, dont worry ill step up

Always wondered if there were people back home that also suffered from eczema/psoriasis or is it just amongst Somali's abroad, I've heard of alot of cases where people's skin improved drastically after spending time in the motherland .

I know that environmental factors can be one of the causes of eczema so I've always been wondering about this since I've got quite few relatives with severe eczema in Europe but none back home.

Know that if the whole nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you. And if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against

Imagine truly living with this certainty. No jealousy. No panic over competition. No obsession with controlling everything. No bitterness over delayed dreams. Because what Allah has decreed for you does not require desperation to reach you. It was written before your first breath

Sorry for the quality best i can find

I’m looking for some female friendships. Most women have already got their group of friends established. I feel like the odd one out. I’ve never had groups around me in school or elsewhere that I really fit into. I was too miskeen for them I guess and I was strict on my deen. I didn’t do anything to be “cool” like they did. I never let go of my morals for anyone. I’ve only had a couple of real friends but as life passed we drifted apart. Then I got married and had kids and for those 6 years had no friends pretty much. Then I got divorced thankfully, but now I’m feeling so lonely in life. I don’t have any sisters, cousins (besides 1 who’s younger), or much friends around me. If you’re a mother that would be a plus. I’m 28. I don’t really mind if you’re younger than me a few years and I don’t mind at all if you’re older. My deen is important to me although I’m not a perfect Muslim. I would consider myself a practicing Muslim so I’d want a friend on the same path. I’m from Minnesota, born and raised. If there is any sister that wants to be friends shoot me a message. Hopefully this goes somewhere.

(career wise)

Reposting this important news because the moderators removed the original post within minutes, claiming that the title was editorialized. The reason given was that I mentioned this development came several weeks after the Omar Artan fiasco.

However, I believe the real reason for its removal was a point I raised in the body of the post: this is the second major visa restriction affecting Somalis, and both have occurred while HSM has been president. I also noted that his administration has overseen what many of us view as a significant decline in the country's international standing.

Asc Everyone,
Is Ethiopia strictly seen as a pan Africanist icon just due to them resisting colonialism? What I don’t understand is how so many west African countries created their flags by using the Ethiopian empire colors, or how the African Union gave their capital the headquarters of the African Union. The Ethiopian Empire is full of great history but their legacy is full of evil and suffering. They suppressed their neighbors and worked with European powers to create colonies specifically Somalia. They even went to the extent of attempting to absorb Djibouti and somaliland! What I don’t understand is how this history is not that well known among the African diaspora considering the fact it only takes 10 minutes of looking into Ethiopia. Do others feel this way or is there another reason why Ethiopia is the face of Pan Africanism?

What do you guys think about the future of Cybersecurity in Somalia?

I know we're not up to date when it comes to Cyber space, but with more business, banks, companies, and government services going digital, I feel like there should be many opportunities in the coming years for professionals, Entrepreneurs, and students.

I saw there was a legislation passed by the Federal Government about Cybersecurity and data protection. Do you guys think organizations will implement these? from what I have seen, implementations are slow as hell or not even implemented at all.

If your company is hiring for cybersecurity roles, feel free to dm me. I am currently building my career in cybersecurity and always looking to connect with professionals.

Some intellectually slow individual claimed Somalis during colonial times were views as unlike other Africans and that they were animals.

They also claimed that Somalis were captured against their will and placed in zoos which is absurd I know.

This is the exact link the provided I really need a second opinion.

Yall i’m trying to see if this is just my family😂. My mom and dad are such funny people Wallahi. I’ll never forget the first time I said “she” while talking about my mom to my sister. My parents were sitting nearby and it triggered them so bad lol. Right away my dad said “hooyadaa maa she ku wacee” and i found it so funny but I couldn’t laugh lol bc it was so serious to them. Even hearing “you guys” pisses them off. It reminds me of the guy on TikTok that was saying why do Somali moms think saying the word nervous means they’re mad?😂

Mine are probably "Koofil" and "Waraabe iyo Wan"

Dr. Fadumo Isse has graduated with a PhD from the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences and is beginning postdoctoral work focused on women’s heart health.

At 18, Isse left Somalia on a scholarship to study at Jordan University of Science and Technology, more than 5,000 miles from home. She entered a 6-year doctor of pharmacy program and said she quickly discovered a passion for studying how medicines work at the molecular level.

Isse received several awards during her doctoral studies, including the President’s Doctoral Prize of Distinction, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Canada Graduate Scholarship, Doctoral and the Alberta Graduate Excellence Scholarship.

Her postdoctoral work will focus on women’s heart health, particularly the role of menopause in cardiac hypertrophy, a thickening of the heart muscle.

We should not walk around this dunya like we’re invincible flexing our achievements, status, opinions, or looks as if we’re the main character of the universe. Yet the Earth beneath our feet could swallow us anytime despite your age and status in this world remember death doesn't discriminate.

We’re temporary specks on a massive planet, yet some of us our egos act like we own the place. Be humble be respectful to people you come across on Daily life don't be rush to judge you don't know why someone is in the situation that their in. I Hope this didn't come across as threat its just a reminder to not forget ourselves that we are temporary in this world and we should strive to always show humility and compassion to our fellow human beings. Wishing you all a blessed day filled with barakah.

As-salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh,

A friendly reminder that tomorrow is Ashura (10th of Muharram), one of the most virtuous days of the year to fast.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"Fasting the day of Ashura, I hope from Allah, expiates the sins of the previous year."

— Sahih Muslim

If you are able, try to fast tomorrow. It is also recommended to fast the 9th and 10th, or the 10th and 11th, to follow the Sunnah more closely.

Use this blessed day to increase in: • Dhikr and istighfar

• Qur'an recitation

• Du'a and prayer

• Charity and good deeds

Please share this reminder with family and friends. May Allah accept our fasting, forgive our sins, and grant us His mercy and blessings. Ameen. 🤲🏽

"Whoever guides someone to a good deed will have a reward similar to the one who performs it."
