I told you earlier, Dir has to meaning in SomaliOne of the rebuttals for isaaq being mentioned as Dir in poetry you guys came up with was that in some cases Dir can mean somalis in general and not specific tribe.
If that’s the case why is darood not under this umbrella?





Niether Isaaq nor Darod are arabs, and neither of them are Dir either.Isaaq not being an Arab does not automatically = Isaaq is Dir.

That's the point. Neither isaaqs nor daaroods has no any evidence supporting their claim to the prophet's family. But we have evidence that somalis are all related or closely related. And their closest kin are not the Arabs but the Oromos and Afar . Claiming saadat or sayidat is common myth in all Muslim countries.Even isaaq poets refer to themselves as Dir. what intrest would darood have in referring to us as Dir in the jaahiliya days. Where does the maha dir linage come from because there is a Dir clan called isaaq somewhere out there.
To me it seems more that you don’t want to be Dir than us not actually being Dir. I don’t understand why would want to be a black arab. An akhdam instead of a somaal.


TheYusuf, bal aan far waaweyn kuugu qoro:
Neither Isaaq nor Darod are Arabs.
That myth is long dead.
The fact that you lot are harping on about it shows you know your Dir myth to also be equally fake.


Every ciise and Gadabuursi person is the Same, they can hardly recite their abtirsi beyond their sub clans, what's so especial about isaaq ? Almost every Dir subclan have their unique identity . I proved and agreed that isaaq has nothing to do with hashimites. now it's your turn to prove that isaaq is has nothing to do with Dir .No you are not. I am happy with Isaaq being a stand alone clan. It is you who is making the claim Isaaq is part of another clan called Dir based on a poem by a doofaar ismaacil.
You have absolutely zero evidence to justify your claims.
On the other hand I can simply refer you to every single Isaaq person who knows his/her abtirsi to Isaaq, not mythical Dir. The descriptions of Somali clans prior to the union report Isaaq as a stand alone clan along with Dir and Darood. Even in politics, the reason Dir went into an alliance with doofaar ismaacil in Somaliland's politics prior to independence was due to the fact that they were a separate clan from Isaaq.
TheYusuf nin maskax leh baan kugu ogaa inadeer.

Whether Ciise or Gadaboursi can not recite their abtirsi to Dir is neither here nor there. They acknowledge they are Dir, Isaaq doesnt. Academic studies done prior to independence also disagrees with you, and so does political history of the region.Every ciise and Gadabuursi person is the Same, they can hardly recite their abtirsi beyond their sub clans, what's so especial about isaaq ? Almost every Dir subclan have their unique identity . I proved and agreed that isaaq has nothing to do with hashimites. now it's your turn to prove that isaaq is has nothing to do with Dir .
You can't stand alone , you must be related to some people. You are not a rock we are people![]()
