To the secessionist and their secessionist Agenda

[The_memesiah9]

Asc folks. I have been doing a lot of research on Somalia, the history, the people and the politics. I have realised many things while studying our problems and I have been trying to come with an effective solution to our problems. As we all know we are dealing with wide spread corruption, incompetence, tribalism, internal conflics and terrorism, out of all those problems the biggest problem that we as Somalis are facing and hindering our progression as a people and a nation is tribalism and that is dividing the people along tribes and their tribal interest.

I have debated and discussed with secessionist many times and again and again I have yet to encounter a good argument or reasoning for Somalis not to unite, I have asked them again and again "How will the balkanization of the Somali regions benefit us as Somalis." and other rational questions that they always fail to answer.

So this is the best Islamic response to the secessionist and their Agenda to divide Somalia.

Allah said:

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
The believers are but brothers, so make reconciliation between your brothers and fear Allah that you may receive mercy.

Allah has commanded us to be united and to avoid splitting into different factions and sects.

Allah said:

وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا
Hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. Remember the favor of Allah upon you, when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became brothers by His favor.
Surat Ali Imran 3:103

The Prophet ﷺ commanded us to be united under one ruler and he warned us to defend our community against those who would come to divide us and usurp authority for themselves.

Arfaja reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

إِنَّهُ سَتَكُونُ هَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ أَمْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَهِيَ جَمِيعٌ فَاضْرِبُوهُ بِالسَّيْفِ كَائِنًا مَنْ كَانَ
Verily, there will soon appear evil after evil. So whoever intends to cause insurrection in this nation while they are united, then strike him with the sword no matter who he may be.

In another narration, the Prophet said:

مَنْ أَتَاكُمْ وَأَمْرُكُمْ جَمِيعٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَشُقَّ عَصَاكُمْ أَوْ يُفَرِّقَ جَمَاعَتَكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُ
Whoever comes to you while you are united upon one man as leader and he intends to undermine your solidarity or split your community, then kill him.
Source: Sahih Muslim 1852, Grade: Sahih

An-Nawawi comments on these traditions, saying:

فِيهِ الْأَمْرُ بِقِتَالِ مَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَوْ أَرَادَ تَفْرِيقَ كَلِمَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَنَحْوَ ذَلِكَ وَيُنْهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ قُوتِلَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْدَفِعْ شَرُّهُ إِلَّا بِقَتْلِهِ فَقُتِلَ كَانَ هَدَرًا … مَعْنَاهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَنْدَفِعْ إِلَّا بِذَلِكَ
In this is the command to fight those who rebel against the leader or intend to divide the Muslim community and so on. He is prohibited from rebelling and if he does not relent, then he is fought. If his evil cannot be averted except by killing him, then he is to be killed without retaliation… The meaning is that he should be killed only if he will not relent except by that.

"These traditions make it clear that the command to have one ruler is meant to prevent civil war and insurgency between Muslim political factions. If the community had two executive authorities in a single region, then any conflict that arises between them would cause serious dysfunction. In fact, no company or country or organization can manage its affairs in this way. Common sense tells us that any effective organization needs a single executive leader who directs their subordinate chain of command."

The scholars said it is permissible for Muslims to have more than one ruler when the countries are separated by geography or in cases of necessity.

According to the Kuwaiti Encyclopedia of Islamic Law:

وَذَهَبَ الْمَالِكِيَّةُ إِلَى أَنَّهُ إِذَا تَبَاعَدَتِ الْبِلَادُ وَتَعَذَّرَتِ الِاسْتِنَابَةُ جَازَ تَعَدُّدُ الْأَئِمَّةِ بِقَدْرِ الْحَاجَةِ وَهُوَ قَوْلٌ عِنْدَ الشَّافِعِيَّةِ
The Maliki scholars maintain that if two lands are far apart and it would be impossible to exercise authority, then it becomes permissible to have more than one leader due to necessity. This is likewise an opinion among the Shafi’ee scholars.

Al-Qurtubi comments on the traditions previously cited, saying:

وَهَذَا أَدَلُّ دَلِيلٍ عَلَى مَنْعِ إِقَامَةِ إِمَامَيْنِ وَلِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ يُؤَدِّي إِلَى النِّفَاقِ وَالْمُخَالَفَةِ وَالشِّقَاقِ وَحُدُوثِ الْفِتَنِ وَزَوَالِ النِّعَمِ لَكِنْ إِنْ تَبَاعَدَتِ الْأَقْطَارُ وَتَبَايَنَتْ كَالْأَنْدَلُسِ وَخُرَاسَانَ جَازَ ذَلِكَ
This is evidence for the prohibition of having two leaders because that would support hypocrisy, disputes, dissension, the occurrence of tribulations, and the removal of blessings. However, if the lands are far apart and disparate such as Al-Andalus and Khorasan, then it becomes permissible.

Again all I am asking is rational argument that does not contradicts the Quran and the Sunnah. We are indeed muslims and

Allah said:

وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give charity and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have mercy upon them, for Allah is Almighty and Wise.
Surat al-Tawba 9:71

They're our enemies obviously they'd want to destabilise Somalia. The bad thing is Somalis knowing this and going along with it. Each wants to be king of his shanty town.

I read only read paper written by an Ethiopian professor on Ethiopia's destabilization policy towards Somalia and Djibouti. The website does sadly not exist, but their policy goes back to Haile Selassie regime where they wanted Somalia not to be a threat to kill the Somali irredentism, so Somalia and Somalis will never be a threat again. After the 77 war they used benefitted greatly and they were one of the leading causes for the civil war as they funded and supported the opposition gave supplied weapon. They were successful in destabilizing us and dividing us. We took bait and they put more fuel on our conflicts.
