The Jilbaab that Somali women were is not even Arab, it is a design of Somali women. You will not see it being worn by other people. The Dirac, Macaawis, Al-hindi, all are rooted in Indo-Asian culture, no one ever says anything about Somali culture being eroded by Indo-Asian culture. I want to understand, how leaving out certain things forbidden by Islam in our daily life, becomes the adoption of Arab culture?



Is there a Arab way of following Islam and a Somali way?Culture evolves, Somali tea came from Indian culture, same with certain aspects of traditional clothing and so on. Those cultures have enriched Somali culture.But apart from language, I dont see what positive impact Arab culture has had on Somali cultureThe way they practice our religion has seeped into our country, infected us, caused more fitna on top of the secular differences that fuelled the war

Yes to eradicating the evil aspects of Somali culture (FGM etc), no to importing the evil aspects of Arab culture



What do u mean practice? Praying, fasting, paying zakat? Things like that? Yes there is a correct way to do that, other ways are flawwed.You think every nation practices Islam in the exact same way?
