Did Pre-1991 Somalis have more Class than present day Somalis?

[TheFuturist]

Here is a question that will clear it up: is a muslim woman's salah (prayer) accepted if she prays without a headscarf?

Are you serious?

Absolutely no!

Based on what brother? Can you post a surah/ayah?

[CaliQase]

You know what? Why don't you make some effort and ask your local imaam?

[TheFuturist]

Haha are the questions becoming too difficult.

Is the purpose of the hijab, as described in the surah/ayah you referred to is to shield the womans beauty from unrelated men, not from God? Is there any reason why a woman shouldnt be able to pray with her hair showing, provided that there are no men around?

I might bw completely wrong, hence whybI asked for a source.

[Hyperactive]

good discussion, very civilized. not totally agree here but i like the train of thinking here both CaliQase and The Future.

many moons ago my sister asked me " can i pray in my room without hijab?" i asked what makes you think of that? she said "cause I am standing front of Allah when i pray and give respect and thank to him, he can see me under the cloth, so how one can cover from God"

i understood how her train of thinking going, she was thinking, if hijab is to cover "your beauty, be modest or what ever from strange men, why cover from God.

i encoureged her to continue to think and ask as much questions and do not scare of no body to ask. love it.

one has to consider the circumferences and the audiance all the time.

If the command is to cover " your beauty" and the keyword is beauty, how about ugly women who have no beauty at all what should they cover?

Absolutely. That's the era i should've been born in. Beautiful architecture, better fashion, better reputation.

How come the jilbaab didn't take off over there?

[gegiroor]

The days when Somali nationalism was at its peak.Our glory days before wahabism and tribalism killed it.

It is a basic part of our religion that women dress modestly.

Come clean and just say "I want see them tits"

The secular / atheist crew could not come to grasp with the fact that Somalis are learning their deen and therefore would not dress as they used to in the socialist era.

Beauty is subjective. What might be ugly to you, might be beautiful to others.

The jilbaab in Somaliland and Somalia took off after the war. I don't remember during my xagaa bax to hargeysa women dressed with jilbaab. . Shalmad iyo malkhamad was the norm if my memory serves me right.

The tittle of the topic speak for itself. After the war, the departed regime took a companion that was....the traditional way somali women use to dress.

So much insightful replies to the thread, damaantiin liibaaana.

I just wonder how a whole society a whole nation change so much in every sphere of life in such a short period of time.
So many nations have had longer and more devastating wars/civil wars around the world and I don't know if any had experienced such enormous changes in the same span of time
