@Teeri-Alpha you know what suprised me is Sheikh Umal, I always adamant I hate Salafism. I listened to him one day out of curosity just to poke fun at how stupid and literal they are. Wallahi I was impressed by the dude, so I take it back. It depends on if their educated I think the scholars not so much the brand of islam they teach.
I was wrong for that, you need to listen to each individually and not dismiss the whole brand. It's like dismissing science all together over some philosophy u disagree with and yes there is many I disagree with.
Bro sheikh umal and Ogadens are not salafi, we are old school trational somali pure muslims with pure tawxiid, i hate these new labels created by arab and asians labelling people salafi, wahabi etc,
we Ogadens are masters of edcuation and islamic cilmi, alhamdulilah, no suprise there sicne we created somalinimo, gaby/poetry, literally created somali hisotry and gave it to somalis as our software, centruies ago we had no one using the somali card except us,
we Ogadens have the most fmaous shikhs, sheikh shibley, sheikh cali yusuf, sheikh al-somali, companion of sheikh al-albani
we have the mist educated famous somali sheikhs, this is because Ogadens deep down educate their kids, an Ogaden nomad camel herder centuries ago would settle down, get out the aqal hori, build the house and bring out loox, the tablet to teach his kids islamic lessons, how to read quran, how to pray, etc, and then move on and expand the Ogaden land pasture through force if neededm
we were geeljire but we Literally carried our cilmi/islamic books and kids were taught,
i am amazed when i met Ogadens from garisa and Ogadenia, they speak af arabic so well, so young and they learned this from a book inside africa, never been there, they know their cilmi, fresh minds, wallahi imagine if these kids were taught physics, building submarines, weapons, big pharma, satellites, they would be masters, we have a great gift for learning we somalis and a great memory since we have not been corrupted by music and alcohol and sex like bantus and aborigines,
the fact that Ogaden produced the most famous somali sheikhs, the best writers/poets centuries ago shows we love learning,
we need to obsesses about education and making sure each child is sent out different fields like jews, we cannot have every child becoming doctor, we need engineers, we need sofware geeks, we need metallurgical experts,
bro i was learning about the Manhattan project, every field of cilmi contributed, even mathematicians, metal experts, experts in wind resistance, engineers, economist, etc,
Do we have one somali rich dude who has ever funded kids studying a masters or PhD at unique fields? never, we need rich somalsi to sponsor fellowships like rich cadans dude, the scholar of so and so, his name will be carried on for aeons
but i know ONLF has secretly and quietly funded many boys and girls to study at top world universities, i remember we used to collect money as ONLF in London and we would link with US, Kenyan etc Ogadens and send money to a kid to study a certain field, in case he became useful even in 30 years time,
i remember we used to use ONLF centres in kenya for tuition and we were expected to teach, on weeks it was quran lessons and weekdays it was tuition for younger kids and we were expected to help and teach them, tutor them,
this is what we need, we only created the ONLF centres in UK after MJ, hawiye and 1door refused to create somali association as they fought over who will control it, so when they refused, Ogaden quietly opened up their own centres across the UK,
thank god somalis fought each other, we quietly created out own centres and funded it by raising money from ourselves,
