Okay, this a lot, lemme try and break this down without being harsh and actually contribute to this thread.....
Alright nothing wrong with this, but just a heads up, cultures change and advance as do languages.
It's not.
A bunch of qurbajoog kids who have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to Arabs decided to be alarmist and make up this lie I don't see Somali being Arabized. If you're really worried about Arabic loan words just remember, Spanish has way more Arabic loan words in it's language and I don't see Spaniards complaining. I also fail to see how having Arabic loan words is also a bad thing. On top of this I don't see the same energy for Swahili, Farsi, English, Hindi and Italian loan words as well.
Okay I get the feeling you believe in Freedom of Speech, of thought and of expression.
I don't wanna strawman you, but this is the vibes I'm getting from you. I have to say you're playing with fire there.
Reason being: If we use this line of thinking we will find that under freedom of speech and expression we'll find that, yes, we can state new ideas and express them, but you can also use freedom of speech to rebut those ideas and make a case against them. Some new, and old ideas do deserve to be criticized.
Also, ask yourself do you really want Somalis, the very same Somalis who are on tiktok, getting freedom of expression, expressing themselves?
Consider this following verse in the Quran:
"This day have those who disbelieve despaired of your religion, so fear them not, and fear Me. This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion".[Quran 5:3]
Allah (SWT) has perfected your religion for you there's no need to change it.
Also consider this following verse as well:
"And judge, [O Muúammad], between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what Allah has revealed to you. And if they turn away – then know that Allah only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient."[Quran 5:49]
You cannot use any other law other than what Allah(SWT) has preordained and to call what Allah(SWT) has prescribed for to be "outdated and too brutal for our time" is blasphemous and you also said "which is why I believe it will be (slightly) revised to fit and suitmodern people" to alter what God had brought down for you is also blasphemous.
Culture and language will naturally change with time, that is completely natural and I am not against it. However, there is positive and negative changes that can occur in societies. An example of a negative change is when a country or a people lose their culture and language entirely. A positive change is where you build and advance the culture and language already in place. North Sudan is an example of a negative change, they had their own language and culture at some point but now they are just another Arabanized people. Egypt is also another good example. Marka sxb, there is value in our beautiful culture and langue but if we don't see that we are going to lose them. And this isn't me being an alarmist, we are already in transition to being Arabanized? It is not borrowed words anymore sxb, we are literally replacing functional and popular words like suuli with baytul xamaam (wtf is that if not Arabnization?).
I do bro. Even the Somalis on tiktok deserve to be heardOkay I get the feeling you believe in Freedom of Speech, of thought and of expression.

"A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old" I hope you don't follow this law for obvious reasons. That is disgusting and has no place in this modern era. "A woman or girl who alleges rape without producing 4 male witnesses is guilty of adultery" This is also problematic, again for obvious reasons.
