@zehn.ali: Is Somali culture being erased… by the Arab Culture! Here the top 3 ways Arab cultural practices are quietly replacing Somali identity! from the way we dress, speak, and celebrate, to how we raise our kids and to naming our kids Arab cultural names! Is theArab culture us Islamic obligation, why our own Somali language, traditions, and names are being discarded, and how Somali youth are growing up disconnected from both their heritage and true understanding of deen. From weddings that no longer feel Somali to kids who can recite .. it seems Arabic culture is the quietly replacing Somali culture. Islam never asked us to erase who we are. So why are we doing it? I love my Somali culture and Islam! Why can’t I have both! #somalitiktok #somaliculture #somali

I completely changed my name from Abdullrahman to Waaberi meaning DAWN. It's 100% pre Islam Somali name. I refused to name my son as Mohamed. His name is an old Somali name. We should stop naming our kids as Mohamed, Ahmed, Aisha, Fatima.

As Ethiopian Muslim, 100% agree. Islam is nothing to do with Arab culture. We can still practice Islam with our own culture. This is mostly East African Muslims' issue.

Culture and tribes won’t get you to jannah gng and for the names The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The most beloved of names to Allah are ‘Abd-Allah and ‘Abd al-Rahman.” (Narrated by Muslim in his Sahih, 1398). As well as Ibn al-Qayyim said: Because names have meanings, these meanings will inevitably have an effect on the person who carries the name. Names have an effect on the things that are named, and the things that are named have an effect on their names, whether they are beautiful or ugly, light or heavy, subtle or crude. Zaad al-Ma’aad, 2/336 and for the dances and the culture we have to see this as jahilya for its reason that the woman has no hijab no haya such as barambur and dhaanto the clothes derive from the sunnah since our prophet saw is Arab the clothes such as the jilbaab Hijab Niqab Burqa are wajib for the woman to wear one of them modestly such as for the man khamis is his hijab for the shafi’i madhab it’s the arms and legs and naval and akhi the SURAH itself is very important for the Muslim it’s mandatory for us to learn our deen even if it becomes before our language

Subhanallah "our kids don't speak Somali, but can recite the Quran fluently" I don't know if it's intentional but he's making this point as if it's a negative
