Qofku marka uu yaryahay maskaxdiisa waxa ku badan in uu odoraso mustaqbalka ama inta ugu badan ka fikiro waxa soo socda iyo sida ay noqon doonaan. Badanaa waxa uu ka fikiraa cilmiga uu baran doono, gabadha uu guursan doono, xoolaha uu tabcan doono, guriga uu degi doono iyo kumanaan wax oo soo socdo. Balse marka uu waynaado waxa uu badanaa waqtigiisa ku bixiyaa in uu ka fakaro tagtada; sida dagaalo dhacay, xaalado xun oo uu soomaray, maalin uu shil ka badbaaday, maalin uu meel qurxoon ku damaashaaday, mar uu faraxsanaa, arooskiisii, markii ilmo u dhashay, dadkii soo garab istaagay iyo kun xasuusood oo hilaw ku beeraya. Haddaba qofku marka uu tagtada ka fikirayo uma sawiran karo sidii xaal ahaa markii uu xaaladaa hore ku dhexjiray illaa iyo riyo maahane. Riyadu waxay toos kuu dhexgaynaysaa tagtadi sidii a ay ahayd, waxa ay waxwalba kuu tusinaysaa si tafotiran oo la moodo in ay dhab u dhacayaan, marka aad toosto xittaa waa aad xusuusnaan kartaa riyadii aad noloshaadii hore kusoo qaadatay.
My old friend, the prominent scholar Prof. Yusuf Ahmed Nur, reminded me of a profound insight through his reflection on Qur’anic verses. The Qur’an repeatedly emphasizes belief in the Hereafter as a reminder of human accountability and responsibility before Allah. This belief lies at the heart of moral consciousness and shapes how we understand our actions in this worldly life.
Those who truly believe in the Hereafter carry a deep sense of accountability in all their actions, regardless of how small they may seem. As the Qur’an reminds us, even an act equivalent to the weight of an atom will be brought forward for judgment. This awareness transforms character, nurturing honesty, responsibility, and integrity in both private and public life.
The deeper question, however, remains: How strong is our genuine belief in the Hereafter? Does this belief truly influence our sense of accountability, transparency, and ethical conduct in our daily lives? A sincere belief in the Hereafter should not remain merely a conviction of the heart; it should be reflected in our actions, decisions, and treatment of others.
Today’s Irony in Mogadishu
Today, representative of the Somali political opposition and the regime met at the Turkish Hotel at Aden A. Osman International Airport.
Most Somalis are praying for peace and for a fair electoral process that would undo Hassan Sh’s authoritarian and deeply corrupt roadmap.
In addition, the public are seriously worried about the possibility of the dictator instigating a new civil war. What he did in Baidoa, and his attempts to encircle Puntland have all the hallmarks of the dying days of a morally bankrupt regime.
Despite the prayers and the well wishes of the public, the Somali political opposition made a serious mistake by allowing the Turkish Deputy Chief of Intelligence to be a mediator.
It is exceptionally ironic that the Somali opposition thought that the regime in Ankara, widely known for its heavy handedness against the Turkish opposition, would play a neutral role. Come on!
My dear Somalis. Prayers alone are not enough. Wake up!
Every week, we hear heartbreaking news — Somali youth lost in the desert, drowned in the sea, or trapped in foreign prisons. This is the disaster of Tahriib — a journey of desperation, driven by unemployment, hopelessness, and failed leadership.
