Is there still somalis who practices Waaq religion and why it kinda resembles the Egyptian old religion the pharaoh one and is the Oromo one different than the Somalis one.

Waaqism has zero connection with Egyptian religion it was the same religion mainly practiced by Cushitic speaking people so it would be the exact same thing that oromos practiced and other Cushities practiced. The Egyptian religion was very similar to the caanaties and Mesopotamian religions. A good example is the story of golden calf as it represents baal which was worship by Egyptians. Babylonians and parts of the Middle East

Can’t we talk about more interesting religions than waaqism? It’s talked about every week for gods sake!

I want a thread about Zoroastrianism which is much more interesting and has actual influence in our modern world

No, Islam has been the dominant religion since early medieval times.

We have little information about our pre Islamic beliefs because we are an oral society and our ancestors converted to Islam so they abandoned it.

Tho there are some pre Islamic beliefs that are present today. The wagar tree is still considered a blessed tree by ppl in baadiyaha and pregnant ladies will carry a stick from the tree because it will help them with fertility

Oral history is as important as the written history don’t look down on our ancestors ways because some fuckin cadaan said it.

Yh I agree with you, histories from oral societies are reliable and accurate.

But I said we have no information about our pre Islamic beliefs because our ancestors converted to Islam and didn't pass down their old beliefs.

Booooooo we don't want weird Iranian atheist nationalists discovering this forum after searching Zoroastrianism on @Sheikh Google

 

[Khaem]

I'm a Muslim of course but I would love to learn more about waaq since I love history and learning about our ancestors' religion would give us a better insight into how they lived

There are some folks that still use eebe tho.

 

[Barni]

We simply don’t know enough about waaqism to compare it to the oromo one or to know if it has links to ancient egypt. But maybe if somalia ever becomes stable enough they can do some digging around.

that's the only word u will see if u open kitaab quran translated into somali

I had an abti type eebe to my hooyo in dua. She later told him it’s shirk apparently so there’s ppl who use it.

Eebo is still widely spread and is used all over somalia. There is even songs that includes eebo in their lyrics. I think we even know the meaning of eebo. My theory is that it's a miniaturisation of aabo you see many religions in the past use to refer to allah as a father and somali most likely did the same. The miniaturisation is a sign of endearment much like the arabic abi meaning father and the miniature version abati. I think eebo is even used in the south where people would say eebo naga da.
