Hala Sultan Mosque, Larnaca behind the salt lake
Maulana Sheikh Nazim Efendi has described the Hala Sultan Tekke as the «most powerful spiritual place on Cyprus». Those who carry heavy burdens on their shoulders should not go to a psychiatrist or mental house, but visit Umm Haram bint Milhân – may Allah be pleased by her – who may help.
The grandfather of our Sheikh for fourty years has been the Imam of this place, and when our Sheikh as a small boy has been missed by his mother, she could be sure to find him at the maqâm of the holy lady. Even the Hala Sultan Tekke since fourteen hundred years was and is a muslim property, a Tekke, i. e. a dervish convent, it is now administrated by the government of the Greek part of Cyprus and run like a museum with opening times. That means that we as muslims are not able to use it as a mosque in the full sense of this word. Inshâ Llâh we will one day get the key of the tekke back.
The following posting combines the beautiful pictures by Sheikh Abdur Razzaq from Lüneburg in Germany, which have been taken some months ago, with a text by Lady Khadijah, an American follower of our Sheikh, who has lived the last years in Larnaca. She has written this text short time before she passed away, may Allah bless her soul.

The Hala Sultan Tekke has long been a characteristic landmark on the Larnaca skyline testifying to her own remarkable history as a witness to a multicultural heritage making Cyprus a place where east meets west. Hundreds visit Umm Hirâm weekly from all over this world!
According to stories told by foreign travelers visiting Cyprus between the years of 1680-1767, there was a tomb which was known as “the old woman`s tomb” attracting all believers to this sacred place.
Near Larnaca airport, surrounded by an oasis of palms, olive and cypress trees a minaret and a white albatross-coloured mosque appear. In the rainy months, the mosque and the trees create a double image as the Larnaca salt lake reflects this scene and becomes a home to the seagulls, migrating swans and pink flamingos who come to feed. When the summer months arrive, the salt lake water evaporates and the minaret shimmers in the heat-haze rising from the flat expanse of white crystals left behind.
This mosque was built next to the tomb of an honorable Lady, Umm Hirâm bint Milhân, who came from the deserts of the Hijâz bringing the lights of her Faith and love of God Almighty. She was also known by other names such as Muhan by the Cypriot Greeks and Hala Sultan by the Cypriot Turks. Hala means auntie in Turkish. Hirâm is the name of her grandfather. Umm Hirâm was the Prophet`s foster aunt because her sister Halima Sa`âdiyya was a wet nurse to the Prophet Muhammad salla llâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. It was the practice of the Arabs before Islam that when a male child was born to a family, the family would contract a Bedouin woman from the desert to breast feed the boy in the fresh air and the openness of the desert for his first 2-4 years.
As prophesied by the Prophet Muhammad salla llâhu ´alayhi wa sallam in his dream while resting in her home, Umm Hirâm was to be of the first group of Muslims to navigate the seas which is how she came to die here in Larnaca, Cyprus in the year 649 H at a tender age of 70! She was an adventurous woman known for her courage and strength of faith which is what endeared her so to the Prophet salla llâhu ´alayhi wa sallam. She did everything for the sake of God Almighty giving her Holy personality value. She and her husband ´Ubayda ibn as-Sâmit were Companions to the Prophet Muhammad salla llâhu ´alayhi wa sallam. Umm Hirâm was distinguished as one of the first women of Mecca to accept Islam and the Messengership of the Prophet Muhammad salla llâhu ´alayhi wa sallam.
Umm Hirâm was also known to have helped her community in Damascus, Syria, where she and her husband moved after the death of the Prophet Muhammad salla llâhu ´alayhi wa sallam in 632 H. There was a terrible drought and the people came to Umm Hirâm because they knew of her piety. She invoked prayers asking God Almighty to give them rains to end the drought and famine and it came to pass so the people were very thankful and respected Umm Hirâm’s blessed piousness. They understood that she was a Holy Lady which has set the precedent to regard the Hala Sultan Tekke as a Holy Place for all people!
The maiden voyage across the sea and her death, by falling off the mule, given to each as transportation from the ship and breaking her neck, occurred under the command of the governor of Syria and captain of the ship,
Mu´âwiyah. At this time in history 649 H the Byzantine, the Persians and the Greeks were already on the waters and all were fighting to have Cyprus!
It was the wisdom of the third caliph of Islam, Sayyidinâ ´Uthmân radiya llâhu ´anhu, to have Mu´âwiyah and all his crew bring their wives as one of the conditions for permission to make the maiden voyage of the Muslims to Cyprus. This was the opening for Umm Hirâm because she was the wife of Ibn as-Sâmit a crew member, may Allah shower upon her love. Since it was known that Umm Hirâm was highly esteemed by the Prophet salla llâhu ´alayhi wa sallam she was considered a blessing, barakah for the voyage. Bringing their wives kept them cool and from participating in the heated battles between the groups already there.
When Umm Hirâm died, the group buried her that day as the practice in Islam is to bury the dead quickly. The following day they saw the three rocks they had seen in the desert at the Christian man`s rock quarry that he had gifted to Umm Hirâm, now surrounding her tomb! One embedded itself into the ground at her feet, another one at her head and the other left freely suspended in the air above her tomb … this is a miracle from God Almighty to all Believers and has been documented by the Danish explorer Cornelius van Bruyn in 1683. When the people saw this, they knew this was a Holy Place!
Umm Hirâm had died here as a shahîda which in Arabic means witness. The Christian man who gave her the rocks loved her because he saw the Lights from God on her, around her and in her. When God loves you, everyone loves you! She died as a witness for Islam bringing the Lights of its truth which is Peace.
Umm Hirâm is a positive role model for all people because she was passionate about her faith and in so doing, held to it tightly and was able to be of the first group of Muslims to cross the sea! Her strength is belief and that she was just a humble lady coming from the desert is demonstration of the power that is given where one believes!
Umm Hirâm’s example reflects in the restoration efforts that the Cypriot Greeks and Cypriot Turks were able to accomplish here since 2001. Together they constructed a peace that is borne from man to man when there is respect and a common objective.
They completed the restoration of the tomb, masjid and minaret which had extensive damage from the mixture of aggressive coastal environment, insect manifestation and water penetration caused over time. Improvements were also made to out buildings and aesthetic improvements were made to the grounds.
“We are connected in our obedience to God Almight.”
This is an inscription on the tomb of Lady Khadijah, the great grandmother of the late King Hussein of Jordan whose white marble tomb is seen inside between the mosque and Umm Hirâm. The Hala Sultan Tekke is fourth in importance to the Muslim world. The first place of importance is Mecca where hajj or pilgrimage is performed by a Muslim as he/she can afford at least once in his/her lifetime. Medina, the place where the Prophet Muhammad salla llâhu ´alayhi wa sallam is buried is the second. The Masjid al-Aqsâ in Jerusalem is the third because it was here that the Prophet salla llâhu ´alayhi wa sallam was taken when he ascended to the Heavens, by invitation of Allah, and returned bringing the order for the Muslim`s five daily prayers.
The shrine was built in 1760 by a dervish named Sheikh Hasan who went about the island telling of the tomb. The Ottomans built the mosque complex in stages and assuming its present form by 1816. During the time of the Ottoman period in Cyprus (little over 100 years), the Ottoman-flagged ships would fly their flags half mast, in respect, when passing Umm Hirâm and shoot their cannons as a salute to this island because Larnaca (Kition at that time in history) marked the first place the Muslims voyaged by sea.

Great piece. More than twice I happened to visit the place. One can always make Wuzu and can say few Nafal in the mosque.

NEWS ABOUT SOMALIA
I, Galib Ramathan declare that the Story mentioned is true
My name is Galib Ramathan. I was born in Mogadishu, Somalia on January 1st, 1981. I am sick I have a mental problem I am not feeling well, I suffer mental illness called Schizophrenia; I am unable to work or to go to school. Presently, I am taking a medication.
2 Today I am not in good health. My health is worsening. My mental was affected by the civil war in Somalia. I have been sick for the past 25 years since in 1991.
3 Presently, I am a resident in Toronto for the past 23 years since 1994: I don’t have a life in this country. I spend thinking about myself of not known what to do. I can’t eat properly and I cannot sleep because of the stress.
4 Since when I was six years old I started my education for elementary school in Somalia. I finished but I didn’t complete my secondary Education because of the political situation in my country Somalia. When the military government collapsed since that time we don’t have a central government since 1991.
5 When I was six years old, I was enrolled in the Madarasa, I was taught Qur’an in the evenings and consequently started my formal schooling.
6 In the city of Mogadishu, a young girl was my neighbor when I lived in Somalia. This young girl went one day to the market place to buy goods. While she was in the market, a missile was launched in their home where the rest of her family lived. She was fortunate because she was not in the house when the missile hit them. She lost her family. This tragedy happened in December 1990. However, when we released that a missile has been launched
7 We walked up to the garage that was closer to us, which was situated in the city of Afgoye, about 30 km south of Mogadishu, Somalia. The owner of this garage was a religious man. Who offered us a place to stay, While we were there, we stayed one night, and next morning we took a bus from Afgoye to Mudul Barawe, where we stayed other night, next morning we took a bus, which was we existed on un-cooked rice and some water. Always, when we meet new people we were told the war is getting worse
8 the civil war intensified and heavy guns were heard everywhere and we were unable to get charcoal and gas to cook our food. In the city of Kismaya there were dead bodies on the streets and roads everywhere, it was difficult to travel alone in the street of Kismayo
9 When the gunfire stopped in Kismaya, we took a car that was going to Libay, Kenya. When we reached Libay, Kenya we lived there for four months. We existed, the little assistance we received from the UNHCR workers who used to tell us to lines up for food, so to get our rations. in addition, we stayed long lines in order to receive little water. The city of kismaya is 500 kilmers from city of Mogadishu
10 I hope that the fighting stops soon. One day. I hope to be able to go back. I want to use what I have learned here to help rebuild my country. However I like my country Somalia nobody hates his country. I like my people but I can’t do anything for them but every time I pray I beg God for my country Somalia.
11 I never suffered any disease or illness when I was in Africa it doesn’t matter what part of Africa. The city of Mogadishu it was safes p-lace in Africa
12 Somalia is a poor country however everybody is happy and healthy nobody worries about anything because there is no stress, frustration and depression. I never took a medication in my life when I was in Africa it doesn’t matter what part of Africa
13 When we were in Somalia, we had faith and strong culture. In My view people nowadays don’t have faith. I have overcome many problems, because I prayed so to beg God for my country. Today we cannot go back to Somalia unless the situation changes.
14 The late president of Somalia was Mohamed Siad Barre. He died in 1995, in Nigeria with heart Attack. Mohamed Siad Barre he became president in 1969. Mohamed Siad Barre, the last Somali dictator, the rule country for 22 years. When Somalia was good we used to live strong military. Today the problem is going on in Mogadishu, Somalia are coast by man
15 in my viewpoint, Mohamed Siad Barre, he was great president of Somalia
16 I am experiencing a lot of terrible things back home in Somalia. I am the lucky one thanks God His Grace in His mercy.
17 I used to live in Mogadishu, Somalia for 26 years ago before I arrived in Canada that time I was healthy and strong but now I am not
18 If I remember how we lived in Somalia sometimes I cry. the people living in Somalia 100% are Muslims. Muslim people doesn’t killed innocent people. The Somalia people everyone is Muslim
19 Somalia is a poor country however everybody is happy and healthy nobody worries about anything because there is no stress, frustration and depression.
20 when I was in Africa I never took medication in my life it was my first time I had seen a good life. Somalia became independent in 1960
21 Today I am not living in the right place at this moment that means I don’t live in Muslim country. The people living in Somalia they know more about Islam because they are living in the right place.
22 Islam cares much for maintaining the highest level of social solidarity and strength among the members of the society. It goes without saying that spending money on charitable deeds, such as helping the needy, alleviating the pains of the distressed and support those who are in need will be upon them in this world and hereafter.
23 Safwan ibn Salim related that the prophet said; anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah’s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night (Bukhari) Anas related that the prophet said; if any Muslim plants something or sows seed from which a man, a bird or an animal eats, it counts a charity for him. (Bukhari, Muslim)
24 Abu Hurairah (May Allah Be pleased with Him) reported; the prophet (peace Be upon Him) said, one who strives to help the widows and the poor is like who fights in the way of Allah, The narrator said; I think that he (Prophet (PBUH) added also; I shall regard him as the one who stands up (prayer without rest as the one who observes fast continuously (AL-Bukhari)
25 Our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) says have mercy on those upon the earth; and Allah will have mercy on you?
26 Our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) says you have to pray five times a day and you have to pay the Zakat and you have to fast the month of Ramadan and you can go Hajj if you can afford?
27 This life is only for temporary, this is not the real life, the real life will be started when you die, and before you die you need to get good deeds before the date of judgment. Whatever good deeds you get in this world you will get hereafter. When Somalia was good nobody suffered from any disease or illness and we love each other
28 If Somalia had a peace we would like to go back to Somalia there is no better place than Somalia for us, I would like to be independent in my life I want to get a better life in the future. Home and country is the best
Anigoo ah Galib Ramathan waxaa idin ogeysiinayaa sheekadaan in ee tahay run
Warbixin ku saabsan Soomaaliya
Assalaamu Calaykum Waraxmatullaahi Wabarakaatu
Walaalayaal aniga waxaa la yiraahdaa Galib Ramathan. Waxaan ku dhashay Magaalada Muqdisho, Soomaaliya bishii Janaayo 1st, 1981 Magaaladan muqdisho waxaa ka dhacay dagaal sokeeye. Kaasoo saameeyey wadanka oo dhan. Intii uusan dagaalku xoogaysan waxaa dhacday arrin la yaableh. Arrintan oo ay ka dhacaday isla magaalada Xamar. Gabadh aanu daris ahaan jirnay markii aan ku noolayn, Soomaaliya. Gabadhan oo dibadda wax looga dirsaday. Intii dibadda ay ku maqnayd ayaa aqalkoodda madfac lagu dhuftay. Reerkan gabadhan ayaa ka badbaaday. Waxaanuna markaas wada deganayn xaafadda Huruwaa oo ka tirsan Magaalada Muqdisho, Soomaaliya. Wakhtigunna waxa uu ahaa bishii Diseembar sanadki 1990kii.
2 Markii aan ogaanay in la ridaayo madfac. Waxaanu lug ku nimid laba garaash oo u dhow magaalada Afgooye, oo uu iska lahaa nin aan qaraabo nahay, oo wadaad caalim, ah aqoon dheerna u leh diinta Islaamka. Waxaanu seexanay hal habeen garaashkaas anaga iyo dad badan oo kale. Ka dib wadaadka subixi wuxuu sameeyey, bas uu lahaa ayuu nagu qaaday. Wuxuuna nageeyey furunta beeraha ee Afgooye. Halkaas waxaan joognay hal habeen. Subixii dambe waxaan u lugaynay magaalada Afgooye. Markii aan gaarnay Afgooye, bas ayaan ka raacnay oo u socda Mudul Baraawe. Afgooye markii aan soo gaarnay xabadu, waxay u dhacaysay sida roobka oo kale. Baska markii aan raacnay oo wax yar uu socday waxaa aragnay askar Hubeysan, waxayna saarnaayeen jiibab iyo baroono. Ninka baska waday wuxuu nagu yidhi, wax dhib ah ma arkayno Insha- Alaah, Faataxada halamaro.
3 Ninkaas oo baska waday wuxuu ahaa nin wadaad ah oo dhalashadiisu ay tahay reer Baraawe. Wuxuu baskii dhaxmariyey beero jiq ah. Nasiib wanaag wax dhib ah ma arkin. Baskiina wuxuu nageeyey Mudul Baraawe. Waxaanuna joognay hal habeen. Subixii waxaan helnay bas u socda magaalada Kismaayo. Waanuna raacnay, wuxuuna nageeyey Kismaayo. Markaan Kismaayo gaarnay waxaan seexan jirnay guri cariish ah, oo doqosh ah. Anaga iyo dadka intiisa badan habeen iyo maalin waa nala waardiyeen jiray, maxaa yeelay, xabada waxay u dhaci jirtay sida roobka oo kale.
4 Meedka wuxuu jidadka u dhooban yahay maxaa kaa-galay. Jidadka meel la maro malaha. Wax maalin iyo habeen socon kara ma jirin.
5 Haddii lagugu arko adigoo banaanka maraya hilibkaaga waxaa lagu jarjarayaa baan-gad ama seef oo afaysan. Xabada waxay noqonaysaa janno. Waxaa anaga raashin noo ahaa bariis cayriin iyo biyo cad, maxaa yeelay banaanka wuxuu ahaa qatar wayn.
6 Aniga mar ayaan banaanka u baxay waana la i qabsaday waxaana la i waydiiyey waa maxay qabiilkaagu? Runtii waagaas ma aqoonin qabiil. Waxaan dhahay walaalayaal aniga waxaan ahay runti wiil yar waxaa jiray toban sano, qabiilna ma aqaani, runtiina la ima barin. Markaan sidaas dhahay way igu qayliyeen laakiin ima dilin. Qayladdi ay igu qayliyeen ayaa waxaa ka qaaday naxdin (shoog). Markaas waxay ahayd sanadki 1991kii. Kismaayo xabaddi markii ay ka joogsatay waxaan raacnay gaari oo u socda Libooyo Soomaaliya. Markii aan raacnay wuxuu na geeyey habeenkii Qooqaani.
7 Waxaa seexanay hal habeen halkaas. Ka bacdina subixii isla gaarigii ayaan raacnay, wuxuuna na-geeyay Libooyo, Soomaaliya. Markii aan gaarnay Libooyo, Kenya. waxaanuna ku noolayn afar bilood afar taas bilood waxaa Saf u gali jirnay xerada qaxootiga ee Libooyo, Kenya. Waxaana saf u gali jirnay biyaha ceelasha ee Libooyo Kenya.
8 Markii ay Soomaaliya wadankeena joognay immaanka ayaan qabnay hadda dadki immaanka ayaa ka tagay waxaa waashay lacag.
9 Haddana qof walba oo Soomaali ah wuxuu ilaahay siiyey caafimaad markaan joognay wadankeeni Soomaaliya. Wax cudur iyo jiro sheegta ma jirin waagii ay Soomaaliya nabada ahayd. Soomaaliya cudur ama jiro iyo madax xanuun loogama horayn dagaalkii sokeeye ee Soomaaliya. Markii ay Soomaaliya nabada ahayd daawo iyo cudur lama aqoonin.
10 Hadda aniga meel aan maanta joogo cir iyo dhul ma aqaani. Waxaan ka bixi la’ahay fakar iyo jiro madax-xanuun.Waxaan qaataa daawooyin loo cuno madax xanuunka.

Soomaali waxay ku maah-maahdaa, “Alle wate wahel ma doono Alle dile ayaa dhinta.

Waagii dowlada siyaad Barre waxaan qabnay immaan keena wax lacag ka fakaro ma jirin waa iska nooleyn wixii ilaahay nasiiyo ayaa cuni jirnay.
13 Waxaa soo xasuustaa subax walba waxaa cuni jirnay canjeelo iyo shaah. Soomaaliya haddii noo hagaagto waxaan jeclaan laheyn in aan ku laabano wadankeeni hooyo dhamaan dad weynaha soomaaliyeed meel walba ee joogaan dunida.
14 Qof walba oo soomaali ah wax wadankiis wax u dhaama malaha Kitaabka Quraanka kariimka soomaaliya waxaa lagu baran jiray hal sano gudaheed.
15 Waxaa soo xasuustaa saacada casarka waxaa soo booqan jiray qaraabadayda. Waxaa ku caween jirnay jeedka hoostiisa intaa shaah ama qaxwo karsano, haddaa soo xasuusto mararka qaarkood waa iska ooyaa.
16 Maxamed Siyaad Barre ilaahay ha u naxariisto, jano fordooso ilaahay ha ugu bushaareeyo, wax weyn ayuu soomaali u qabtay. Madaxweyne Siyaad Barre wax gaaraaya ma jiro.
17 Haddii maanta soomaaliya nabad ahaan lahayd kanada waxaan ka jecleenlahaa anoo ku laabto wadankeegii hooyo ee soomaaliya oo guri cariish ah dhax seexdo oo amaan ku helo oo wixii ilaahay i siiyo aan cuno.
18 Haddaa soo xasuusto noloshii aan ku noolayn Soomaaliya iyo maanta mararka qaarkood waan iska ooyaa wax macunikaro mana-seexankaro waa u xiisay wadankeygii hooyo muddo 25 sano ka hor ayaa ugu dambeesay.
19 Waxaan maanta Soomaaliya wadankaygii hooyo aan u qabankaro malaha laakiin ilaahay weyn ayaa u baryayaa in uun nabad ku soo celiyo Soomaaliya.
20 Waagii ee soomaaliya nabada ahayd ee dowaladii Siyaad Barre waxaan ahayn dad qaali ah oo sharaf leh oo dunida oo dhan kadambayso laakiin maanta anagaa ayaa dunida ugu lidana. Mar walba oo aan salaad tukado waxaan ilaahay ka baryaa in uu kadhaliyo dowlad Muslim ah oo daacad ah. Cadawgeyna ilaahay hajabiyo. Kuwa isdagaalaaya ilaahay qalbigooda ha-isku jeediyo dhaxdooda ilaahay nuur hadhaxdhigo. Soomaaliya see ahayn jirtay iyo si ka fiican ilaahay haku soo celiyo?
21 Magacayna iyo calan keeni Soomaaliya ilaahay hanoo soo celiyo? Ciidamadda Kanadiyaanka iyo Maraykan ayaa tagay Soomaaliya sanadkii 1993kii waxay yiraahdeen waxaan Soomaaliya ku soo celinaynaa rajo, laakiin wadankaan dad ma laha. Waxay arkeen nimcadda wadankeenna, wabiyadiisa, beerahiisa.
22 ilaahay wuxuu yidhi ducadeeda iyo rajadeeda yaa laga daalin. Haddaba waa in aynu ilaaheey ka barinaa si Eebe wadankeena uu inooga dhigo nabad iyo in uu inooga dhaliyo dowlad daacad ah oo Muslim. Soomaaliya haloo duceeyo waxaa jiro mar ee samada furan tahay ilaahay ducada kaa akhbalaayo. ilaahay wuxuu ugu jecel yahay qofkii baryo oo adoonkiis. waxaa ilaahay weydiisatid oo kheyr ah waa helesaa.
23 Aniga waxaa aamisan nahay nabsigii wadanka laga galay ayaa ilaa hadda nahaayo, wax hagaa-gaayo ma jiro ilaa ilaahay noo noqdo, dambi dhaaf ilaahay hala weydiisto? ilaahay waxuu na siiyey dhul barwaaqo oo kheyraad ka buuxo oo wax gaaraayo jirin aduunka.
24 ilaahay haddaa u noqono oo cafis weydiisano wadanka wuu dagilahaa Qudaarta soomaaliya waxee ahayd qudaarta ugu macaan adduunka oo loogu jecel yahay, waxaa loo dhoofeyn jiray talyaniga iyo aduunka meel walba. Soomaaliya xaga alle ayaa laga-heestaa.
25 ilaahay haddii loo noqdo wax walba wee hagaagayaan. ilaahay kuwa soo hadeeyo hanagadhigo. Waxa yaab leh dad 100% oo Muslim ah oo walaalo ah oo isku af ah isku diin iyo isku midab ah oo isnacab oo isdilaayo ma jiro aduunka wax saas oo kale sameeyo ma jiro,
26 Dagaal wuu dhacaa la iskuma heesto laakiin dagaal socdo 25 sano meel uu ka dhacay ama ka jiro dunida malaha. Dagaal in uu faa-ido lahayn Soomaali weligeed kama quusanayaan waa wax laga yaabo. ilaahay haddii loo noqdo soomaaliya wey hagaageysaa insha-Allaah.
27 Hadda soomaaliya waxay u haagi la-dahay dad masaakiin oo waxba galabsan ayaa ladilayaa maalin walba, meel dhiig bina aadan daadanaayo mahagaageyso.
28 ilaahay wuxuu yidhi isku naxariista ha idin naxariistee, Nabi Maxamed wuxuu yidhi dhulka iskugu naxariista ilaahayna samada ayaa idinku naxariisanayaa? waxaana ka fagaataan dhiiga bina aadanka.
29 ilaahay wuxuu yidhi qofkii Muslim u miciino muraadkiis wuu
helaa. Maslaxada aa suubsatid adduunka ayaa aakhiro ku meel martaa waxaana gacantaa midig aa ka dhiibatid aakhiro miisaanka ayaa lagu kabaa?
30 Walaalayaal Kafaa ideesta, dunidaan qof joogaayo ma jiro. Noloshaan aa hadda ku jirno ma-aha noloshii runta ah. Nolosha runta ah waxee bilaabanaysaa markaa dhimatid intaa dhiman ka hor waxaa u baahan tahay in aa cibaadeesatit oo camal wanaagsan shaqeysatid oo ilaahay weydiisatid.
31 waagii ee dowlada siyaad Barre waxaan qabnay ciidanka Afrika ugu xoog badan laakiin maanta anaga ugu liidano dunida
32 Inta anaga isku maqan nahay ayaa khayraadka badeena la dhameestay. ilaahay hana asturo. Wixii camal wanaagsan oo ilaahay weydiisatid waa heleysaa aakhiro? Aduunkaan waa wax yar qof joogaayo ma jiro.Qof walba wuu dhimanaayaa saacadiisa haddii dhamaato. sheekadeeda intaas ayaa ku soo gaba-gabeeyey
Waa mahadsantahay. waxaana kuu rajeynayaa kheyr
In the name of Allah the most Gracious most merciful
