Many Somalis nowadays are believing in Waaq

[Grant]

Ah, yes, Gegi. Attacking the messenger always works when the message doesn't flow with your go. For goodness sakes man, history is not religion. And that blog is pure Somali.

[samaalenoble]

Ah! When the bogus and pagan Waaq is exposed, then the only option left is to start the name calling and insults. It is typical gaalo-qurunley tactic.

I'm not the one making up bs.

Where did the Nowruz came from if Zoroastrianism did not have an influence on the pagan Waaq?

"Shuushow bax, sharow guur, Neyruus" is what Somalis used to state during the Dabshid season. Where did that come from?

Do you know the roots of hubaal and baal that are common in the Somali language?

Where does this have anything to do with Waaq?

And the obsession with Arab Muslims What an insecurity displayed by this dumbass and others like him. There is no Arab commenting here.

Please tell me you're joking.

Absolutey no evidence that Waaq introduced FGM. Cirumcision is as old as Egypt both for men and women .
I believe all these religions take something from their predecessor and in that sense that Somalis were monotheist when the arabs believed in multiple Gods and little statues . The salafis like gegiroor believe in the uniqueness of arabs just as their puritanistic christian counterparts think there's something special about the jews or support Israel no matter what , bunch of crap if you ask me

Greetings Mujaahida and Mujaahids!
Allow me to say Eid Mubarak to all of u folks!

Ahaa topics about Waaq...this reminds me the snet of 2011 and 2012...

Waaqism as a religion is not associated to the negative aspects that some gentlemen indicated above.
Its a monotheist religion with the ALMIGHTY creating the world.
If u want to know about Waaqism or to be precise a form of it, observe your neighbours the Boranas.

Wat is particularly of interest is the way Waaqism acted as one of the determining factors in defining/distiguishing between oromos and somalis.
When a tribe want to go as far as possible from oromos they downplay their waaqist past...and overplaying once waaqist past is seen as being a true oromo....I could give some examples but in these feasty days its of no interest to offend some segment of this forum.

Few centuries ago in the east Oromo land, when a tribe departed from Waaqism, the terme used is "khantare" (roughly getting bad/sour like the milk get sour) , they r excluded from oromo nation. It is believed that the Akkichu nation, which was considered as the strongest oromo tribe from the Bareento moiety (ie eastern moiety) was excluded from oromodom;
Those Akkichus who retained their religion re organized themselves as Afran Qallu! Guess where r the islamized Akkichu of the time?

Probably the same mechanism played, albeit in reverse, in somali nation...most probably those somalis who stuck longer to waaqism were called Gaal Madoob and pushed out of the somali peninsula...probably ended up in the neighbouring nation.

Wa billahil tawfiiq!

And what is your proof?

What do you know about the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians?

Here is my challenge to all of you: If Waaq was a religipn, show me their holly book and the language that was written on it? There isn't one. Since there isn't a holy book associated with Waaq, how can it be classified as religion?

Truth is, Waaqism was a set of pagan customs that people followed before Orthodox Christianity and later on Islam reached the Horn of Africa. It wasn't a religion, because religions do have holly books associated with them. It was an oral custom that one generation passed to the next generation. There were no scholars, no religious debates, no jurisprudence. They were just a pagan customs!

Dumb Sahan, Arabs have Muslim, Christians, Jews, and atheists. I respond the nonsense that people run with in this forum when I know their attacks on Arabs are Islamophobia camouflaged as Arab bashing. And time and time again, I was proven right that the majority of people who bash Arabs in Somali forums are people who left Islam.

Please tell me you are a parody account by a Somali atheist.

^I am a Sunni Muslim Alhamdulillah.

Fyi, A Muslim can never propagate other bogus and pagan beliefs. And as this thread shows, we know who is propagating it!!

I assumed you were a parody account like the opposite of Abdijohnson.

I'm going to zoom back out of this rabbit hole now.


P.S: If you are actually who you say you are:

A religion doesn't need a holy book.

[gegiroor]

^Are you a Muslim?

[Grant]

Gegi,

I suppose you think there were no religions before Man learned to write?

[grandpakhalif]

Such a sad site to see folks propagating these pagan ancient beliefs go to hell atheist folk

[WaaSamane]

There has been alot of Prophets sent to mankind, many unknown to teach the same as their previous prophet. So do not be surprised if you find traces of Tawxiid, since Aadams era (as) all the way to Muxammad (s.a.w) were all about Oneness of Allah. And do not mix Waaq with Baal.

[GalliumerianSlayer]

Somalia is an ancient nation, Laas Geel and other rock paintings proves that, thus it is very likely that Allah has sent a prophet to our forefathers, Allah knows best.

Allah has sent a prophet to every nation/society, If i recall correctly.

[dvision01]

There is a town in the Somalia/Ethiopian border called caabud'waaq were they still worship Waaq and make offerings every friday of dried khat leafes and garlic mixed water. You should speak to the elders of that town to get more info
