:sl:. ^ IbnuFarah, users with limited account can't send PMs until 50 posts or something.



Thanks for the dear welcome, though.
 
Sister Xiaus, welcome on my behalf too. Unfortunately I dont visit this forum that often even if i wanted to. InshaAllah you will find a lot of beneficial articels :)
 
^sis samiira welcome back! i was wondering what happened to the sister who made this thread.
 
I'm more of a lurker really so I'm not around much either but Alhamdullilah, I've found plenty of gems and learn from them so it's all good. Btw, maxsanid for the welcome abaayo. :statisfie





(I hope that I said that correctly because my Somali is deeeeeeeeeeeead. :skeleton: )

No we have a language of our own although some of the words are similar to Arabic.

Welcome to LI and to this (dead) thread sis Misz_Muslimah and br Truthworthy. Inshallah i hope you guys have an awesome time here
 
Wa Caleikuma Salaam wa Raxmatullaahi wa Barakaatum, sis Muslimah and welcome :)

Thankx sister Rayyan for welcoming :). Sis, i was to busy lately that i didnt have chance to see what is going on in this forum.

It is all right sis Xiaus take your time to know this forum better. And dont worry about your somali language you here to learn :) and we can help each other, InshaAllah.
 
mashallah alot of somalian bros and sisters on here, im not somalian but i know 1 somalian word, waryaaaaaaa!
 
^ :sl: lol that's the only somali word worth knowing really but I suggest you try learn the word 'nayaa' (female version of waryaa). Just be sure to dodge the flying sandals. :statisfie

I always thought x = arabic 7 = h. Jazakallah. :statisfie


Btw you guys, is saying Ilahi (somali way of saying 'Allah' SWT) disrespectful? I don't know but it sounds like a diminutive of Allah's glory and too 'cutesy'. I've also had minor arguments with people who didn't recognise the word after I said "Ilahi is my God" randomly one day and they subsequently thought I wasn't a Muslim and went as far to call me kaffir. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeird.

Is it better to say Allah?

:wa:

As far as i know i dont think saying 'Ilahay' or 'Ilahi' is disrespectful. Its just another way of saying 'God' or 'Allah' they all have the same meaning. Although i think its best if we use the word 'Allah' rather than 'God' as 'God' can be associated with many things. If i remember rightly we had a discussion about this .
Yup found it :http://www.islamicboard.com/general/134278616-why-do-you-say-allah-not-god.html

ps- those people shouldnt call you a kaafir for saying that! subhanallah dont they know the consequence of that!
