Are you muslim?

Also for those saying you can't be a non Muslim and Somali at the same time, although I somewhat understand, the same argument can be made by saying you can't be Salafi and Somali at the same time. Salafism/Wahhabism didn't exist amongst Somalis except in very recent history i.e last 50 years. A true Somali in the past was Ash'ari Shafi'i and Sufi. Wahhabism is foreign to Somalis.

I view the statement that you can’t be a non-Muslim and a Somali at the same time as likely a form of bid’ah. Somali is just an ethnicity, where in the Quran and Hadith does it say such a thing? It is a dangerous innovation by people that likely mean well but are unintentionally bringing faith down to the same level as ethnicity. Not good.

If they're non Somali what does that say about your ancestors beliefs before the creation of Islam?
You're basically saying they weren't Somali.

and when was Islam created there buddy?

to even suggest the average geeljire somali had even a modicum of understanding regarding aqeeda is apocryphal the default layman position regarding the location of Allah is above, and there are somali proverbs mentioning Allah being above cirka. very few ashaaira existed amongst us

The verses in Surah Tuur really opened my heart and eyes to the truth when I was confused. What is disbelief in God? How can you not believe in a creator. Did this world come from nothing? The perfect sky, the altering of day and night, the sun, the moon, the stars, the land we walk on and the oceans. The wind, the rain, the vegetation and fruits. The creation of so many different creatures and the creation of man himself? Disbelief in God is not a firm belief but rather a doubtful phase that if God wills, will lead to a person to question and realize the true purpose of his existence and the reason for this beautiful creation he sees around him. All answers will lead back to of course there must be a creator, and then you will say ok if there is a creator then how can I learn more about him and what is the true religion. After studying different religions you will come to the realization 100% that Islam is the true final monotheistic religion sent by God for mankind.

Surah Tuur
33. Or do they say: "He (Muhammad

) has forged it (this Qur'an)?" Nay! They believe not!
34. Let them then produce a recital like unto it (the Qur'an) if they are truthful.

35. Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators?
36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief.

Look at how weak man is despite all our technological advancement, God is telling us we can’t even create something as small as a fly or even take back what a fly takes

يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وٌ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُواْ ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُواْ لَهُ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَيْئًا لَا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالْمَطْلُوبُ

O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily those on whom you call besides Alläh, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatches away a thing from them, they will have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought.(Surah Hajj-verse 73)


And look at this verse talking about how we are able to get fresh pure milk. Small things but makes you think and realize that this isn’t all possible without a creator


وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعَمِ لَعِبْرَةَ نُسْقِيكُم مِمَّا فِي بُطُونِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ فَرْثِ وَدَمٍ لَبَنَّا خَالِصًا سَآئِغًا لِلشَّرِبِينَ (

And verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers.(Surah Alnahl-verse 66)
