Eid Celebration In Somalia

[Omar_Mukhtar]

I hope you are not running away from my question, ya akhi? Maybe you should ask your "scholar" what a Somali Muslim should do if he witnesses his mother or sister being raped by an Ethiopian soldier. Are they allowed to "rebel" against our Ethiopian brothers who came to kindly assist against the khawarij? Should they be patient, close their eyes and pray? Maybe, Call a "Salafi" sheikh on paltalk? Just being a sarcastic here, but here is a bit of advise; next time you lunge into a debate, you should make it clear that only your opinion counts and other opinions don't matter, at least that is how you come across to me.

Salafi are for JIhaad, its only neo-salafi which claims that there are no JIhaad without the permission of the Ameer. But guess what, in Somalia, the muslims have their Ameer, same applies for Chechnya as well as Iraq and Afghanistan.

Its really strange that whatever people do, they are easily branded as "KHAWARIJ":raging: What about the hadeeth that til Qiyamaat there shall be some people amongst the ummah of Mohammad [ peace be upon him ], who shall continue to strive for JIhaad???

La Hawla wala Qowwata Illa Billah.

I bring you hadiths and consensus of scholars regarding the Islamic rulings, you come back with nonsensical political analogies. You bring one irrelevent fatwa, I bring you three from the same sheikh that are relevent and against what you propagate. I bring you evidence from Sunnah, you come back with taunting. And I am the one running away from this debate and you're giving me advise?

:hmm: Keep your sarcasm to yourself and enjoy it, and good luck with your victory dance. Barak allahu feek.

First you say you don't know them and now masha Allah you're disecting rulings between salafi and neo-salafi and calling the consensus of global scholars as the latter? Are Anas Ibn Malik and Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal and Ibn Taymeyya and Ibn Abbas along with all others from their time neo-salafi then?

Easily branded as Khawarej? It takes carrying a weapon and turning it against their own community and ruler, guess as easy as branding someone who kills another for no crime, a murderer. Nobody said it's hard to go outside the fold of Sunnah and Islam.

Glad to see you found one irrelevent hadith that in no way applies on those who are breaking ranks and fighting their own community and attaching to it. Good luck in your own beliefs brother, just remember you walk this path as outcasts and against dictated text of the hadiths of the prophet and the documented sunnah of his actions and those of his companions.

ok. if you are so clever and you are clearly the one who knows everything- why are you dodging a very simple question, ya akhi? Do you see anything wrong with the " rulers" of Somalia helping the EThiopians to occupy Somalia?


mods please don't close this thread.

 

[Binyamine]

I am sorry to have talked on things that i have just heard on the salafi and neo salafi.

 

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Quick question although this wasn't meant for the thread. The purpose of the OP was different...yet here we are on a tangent xD

Why can't we rebel against tyranny? If our rulers are corrupt why is that we can't say or do anything against them? Granted they are legitimately wrong, why is it treason? I thought we were meant to stand up against injustice? I hear this a lot of from people, that you can't go against the corrupt ruler. It doesn't make sense to me. It's a genuine question really :/

Well, certain groups will bring ayat with spurious tafsir and will go to great ends to defend a certain government apparatus which has propogated this misguided notion without stopping for a second to think how said group got power in the first place. May Allah protect the Shabaab and if they have any errors, may he correct them.

I don't know if Somali ruler did that or not, and is still irrelevant to Khawaarij. If they did it's wrong, yet not apostacy, but it's irrelevant to the act of khorooj, which is the one YOU are dodging.

What part of "Not interested in your sinking into political deadends" do you not understand? Like I said, go dance in celebration of victory.

You can say something, speak out against them, and demonstrate. That is granted. However, once you pick up weapons against the ruler you have commited the most heinous of crimes by established dictated textual Islamic rulings from the prophet -pbuh-. We do not question God's shariah and dictated rulings, and there is no disagreement as to the clarity of this ruling nor in the evidence of application by companions and scholars of salaf and khalaf (except of course for the Khawaarij themselves, who claim major sins make a person an apostate, and contradict themselves in saying that breaking shariah is apostasy, yet for them when they are fighting the ruler and as such are breaking the shariah it's legitimate because it's for the better).

I put a small sample in my earlier post of the indicative hadiths:

[FONT=Verdana,Arial]Hadith narrated by Ibn Yaman and authenticated in both Bukhary and Muslim: "I heard the prophet -pbuh- say "There will come rulers after me who will not guide by my guidance and will not apply my Sunnah and Shariah, yet men will rise against them with hearts of devils in bodies of human" I asked "What should I do o'prophet if I witness such a thing?" the prophet replied "Maintain obedience, if the ruler beats your back and takes your wealth maintain obedience to the ruler!"

In another hadith narrated by muslim: "Those who take their hand out of the sultan's rulership and die, die the death of Jahiliya (non-Islam)"

In a third: "The best of your rulers you will like them and they will like you, you will pray for them and they you, and the worst of your rulers you will dispise them and they you, and you will pray for calamities upon them and they you" companions asked "O'prophet shouldn't we revolt against them" and the prophet replied "NO! As long as they hold your prayer. No as long as they hold your prayer"[/FONT]

Hope that answers your question.

Yea it did more than before, JazakAllah Khair.

Are there any references to this in the Qur'an or just the hadiths?

I want to know too...the true islamic position on this...the notion above comes mostly from Saudi arabia...they say an average citizen must not rebel and go against their rulers....but some of these rulers are the cause of decline in the muslim ummah's progression on the international stage.....from dawah to sound and in line with islam 'technology'

:salamext:

I want to know too...the true islamic position on this

Brother Sampharo has clarified it in this post.

 

[Khaldun]

As a muslim and somali myself, I have to face the truth. The so called shabaab etc are truly from the khawarij. This does not mean that we are opposed of the fact that somali should be governed by the Qur'aan and Sunnah. Yet what these people are doing is due to lack of knowledge.

May Allah unite the muslims in general and somalis in particular upon the Qur'aan and Sunnah and distance ourselves from khawarij and takfir.

 

[Sampharo]

Yea it did more than before, JazakAllah Khair.

Are there any references to this in the Qur'an or just the hadiths?

Yes there is reference, but just like Zakat and Salat and other commandments and rulings, it is hadith that is specific and detailing explanations.

The verse in Quran "[FONT=Verdana,Arial]O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe in Allah and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination."[4:59][/FONT] is the fundamental guidance towards that those of authority have a right of obedience, conditions met and exceptions removed of course.

Based on the prophet's hadith, the ruler is clarified as not only Islamically elected: "The ruler is whomever is made Bayaa to, whomever the people gather around, or whomever wins over them in battle"

Most of all, it is the example of the companions and Tabe'in that shows us that even of the rulers are corrupt (which undoubtedly many of them today are) there is still no allowance to make armed combat against them. Even sensibly a person can see that any group that follows a slightly different methodology in interpretation (let alone completely misguided by wrong information into forming a deviant sect) can claim that the ruler is not abiding by Shariah as it should be. If armed revolt is tolerated, no ruler can ever manage a country, for there will always be fighters trying to topple him and killing whomever works for him under pretense of apostasy (for protecting a ruler who doesn't apply Shariah according to them). The response from a third group would be the same according to their view of Shariah, and so on. Even the prophet -pbuh- was accused by the first of those who adopted the Khawaarij ideals of being unjust (in the famous incident after The Raid of Honayn, when a man -may God save us from such deviance- proclaimed to the prophet that he believes the prophet -pbuh- is not being fair in distributing the Ghaneema. They even proclaimed Ali Ibn Abi Taleb -RAA- to be a kafir later on when he was Khalifa.

It is too obvious that Khawaarij claims are impossible to apply and that the first who cannot apply it are themselves. The heinous abomination is commited even before they attack civilians.

 

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Ok well what if the ruler in charge is being unjust towards his people, causing harm to them and making their life a living hell? Are we supposed to just sit and watch? And if demonstrating or speaking up is doing nothing? Put aside Shariah for a moment.

If they're ruling with other than Islam? Half and half of Shariah or Islam is not the same..

 

[rpwelton]

I'm sure brother Sampharo will return with an educated response as far what we as Muslims can do when we witness oppression by Muslim rulers, but I would like to make one point. That is, we should always refer back to the Qur'an and Sunnah when it comes to making a judgment on something, and never let our emotions get the better of us.

There are some people I know who will cling so insistently on a wrong interpretation of a verse, despite the fact that there are many ahadith which contradict their interpretation. They favor their political agenda over true evidence. All they want to do is establish shari'ah at any cost, when in reality this is never how shari'ah was established in the past. It was through the righteous jihad of Muslims who understood the Qur'an and the Sunnah and how to apply it.

As Muslims we should want Shari'ah to be enforced in the Muslim lands, but we also have to realize that in times like this there are appropriate responses and inappropriate ones. We must denounce what many of the corrupt Muslim rulers of today do, but we must also realize that it is a lesser fitnah than the widespread corruption and anarchy that results from overthrowing a government and throwing a people into chaos.

And Allah knows best.

 

[Sampharo]

Put aside Shariah for a moment.

Would not do so because this is what this board and what the subject is all about. Islamic World was nothing more than a group of warring tribes and broken nations, and in one generation became the ruling empire of one quarter of the known World, and that is by Islam. Since that time ruling by other than Islam has taken away that dignity and pride and glory, BECAUSE people have started to accept things other than Islam. God gave us Shariah and we gained dignity and honour because of it, if we reject it we will find nothing but humiliation and sorrow, and that is what we have today.

Ok well what if the ruler in charge is being unjust towards his people, causing harm to them and making their life a living hell? Are we supposed to just sit and watch? And if demonstrating or speaking up is doing nothing?

If there is too much injustice by the ruler, and tyranny is too much to bare... islamic ruling is to leave:

"[FONT=Verdana,arial]When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: "In what (plight) Were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed Were we in the land." They say: "Was not the land of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men will find their abode in Hell,- What an evil refuge! -[/FONT] " [4:97]

Ruling from the book of Ibn Kathir and Al-Qortobi: "whomever lives with kuffar or in a land of non-Islam and is unable to uphold or practice their religion properly must leave, or else they carry the sin of that deviance of their religion..."

If this is the ruling if living under outright kuffar and non-muslims, how can it not be for corrupt muslim ruler? and instead some people substitute it with outright breaking of the prophet's hadiths and islamic commandments of not fighting rulers even if corrupt and find that the solution is to raise arms?

Socialogists and economists today say that migration is a great factor of weakness to a dictatorship. Land is God's land, and people control themselves. The less people under a tyrant's control, the lesser army he can hold, lesser resources he can access.

God's limits are there for a reason. You cannot say forbidding adultery is too hard because urges and desires are strong, when the right way of marriage was given. Similarly those Khawaarij cannot say fighting the ruler was the only way and is too hard to forbid that, when patience and leaving the land was what was prescribed by the One and Only.

When I said put Shariah aside for a moment, I didn't say reject it astaghfirullah. I'd die before I even think about anything other than Shariah...so you don't need to go into a whole lecture for me...jazakAllah anyway...
I meant in general terms. Anyway I don't even remember what I was thinking at the moment that made me say that, going back to it, it sounds wrong lol.

US to engage in 'hit and run' war in Somalia

The United States is involved in preparatory military operations in Somali for a 'major' offensive against Somali fighters, report says. US is providing military assistance to Somali government in order to retake capital Mogadishu from Somali fighters, a recent report in The New York Times indicates.

The American military is conducting nighttime surveillance in the Al-Shabab-controlled areas of the capital and training Somali intelligence officers and forces in addition to providing logistical supports for the government, the report adds. All the preliminary efforts, including reconnaissance and logistic operations, are meant to help launch a major assault on what US government dubs the 'al-Qaeda' branch in Somalia within 'a few' weeks.

“It's the Americans … helping us," the US newspaper quoted Somali military chief General Mohamed Gelle Kahiye as saying. Meanwhile, a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity was quoted in the report as saying that American 'covert forces would get involved if the offensive fails to dislodge al-Qaeda terrorists.'

“What you're likely to see is airstrikes and Special Ops moving in, hitting and getting out,” noted the official. The report also refers to secret US military and intelligence involvement in the Horn of Africa conflicts in the aftermath of the overthrow of Somalia's junta leader Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991.

It also mentions the US Central Intelligence Agency's failed collaborations with Somali warlords to stop the fighters in 2006 which led to a US-backed invasion of the impoverished African state by Ethiopian forces in the effort to kill top leaders of Somali fighters. In summer 2009, the American government hastily shipped in millions of dollars of weapons in order to save the Somali government, it went on to say.

Recently, there have been reports of the arrival of US defense contractors in Somalia in order to support 'peace efforts' there. American officials claim that between 6,000 and 10,000 trained Somalia troops would fight in the offensive against an estimated 5,000 Somali fighters.
