This report combines solution proposal, challenges against Shri’ah, analysis of the current situation of the country, ideal concept of Shar’iah implementation, social enlightenment about global challenges in the wake of globalisation, and identification of Shri’ah foes and friends. It is dedicated to the beautiful martyred soul of the fallen true patriotic young gallant who sacrificed his life for the liberation of the country from the Ethiopian colonialist. It is an honest attempt to uphold his legacy, not waste his efforts to the drain, and rescue his good intention and efforts from being tarnished by internal conflict following aftermath of freedom fight.
In Afghanistan, as soon as the Soviet Union was defeated, the freedom fighters (Mujahedeen) indulged in a feud which led to dichotomy, hence bloody civil wars. Whoever does not respond and submit to negotiations and reconciliation for peace is not following the Shari’ah. War between Muslims is unacceptable in Islam. War in general is not priority in Islam. In principle, the one who is calling to Shri’ah should be on the vanguard of calling to peace. I would like to herein point out to a couple of remarkable points: So long, I have been trying in
Jihad: definition No Redefinition and in Shri’ah: The sole panacea to all our problems, to rectify the misconception levelled against the noble Shari’ah, while fending off the daring evil of apostate Islamophobes who had been in the making for the last two decades. Instead of generalising and taking on the ideal concepts of Islam, those with good intention should have clarified what Shri’ah says to what claimants thereof are abusively doing. The Islamophobe’s covert intent, in their campaign against the Shari’ah, is the former to say Shri’ah backwardness instead of saying, if any, backwardness of some few ignorant Muslims.
Therefore I will write about historically tangible facts supported by authentic documented evidences. The complexity of proposing solution to the Somali problem lies in the nature of its sensitivity and elasticity, susceptible to be potentially hijacked and moulded in favour of a certain group. One should carefully tread and beware of biased attitude. The least suspicion of being lopsided to one group will definitely reduce all sincere efforts to accusation of clan or political alliance. In view of this fact, I would like to declare total neutrality and disclaimer of any prejudice and bias. I lay my trust on the Almighty Allah and I feel the need for correction, criticism and comments, whenever and wherever I sway from justice and fail to achieve the truth.
