Hargeisa, 26 July 2009 (Somalilandpress) – In khat circles there is a well known argument that once a man finishes chewing he suddenly gets an uncontrollable urge to be with and around beautiful women (they call it the kac sii tuf theory). For most chewers, of course, this is a simple fantasy that is unlikely to ever be fulfilled. But for Ali BM things were different.
In Hargeisa, the capital city of Somaliland as in many other parts of Africa, men that drive their own cars and are known to have a bit of money are always popular with the ladies. Ali BM was such a man.
Today, like every day, he was chewing in his usual place. He looked at his bag of Khat and noticed that he was almost running out. He wanted to top up his khat and maybe stick around for an hour or two more. Alas he knew his reputation and good name would suffer if he were spotted still chewing at such a late time! After struggling with his thoughts and cravings for a few minutes he finally decided to give up and head home.
Once home, he had a quick bath, changed into his nicest pair of trousers, put on his best shirt then showered himself with his most expensive bottle of perfume. Ali was planning to go out to dinner with a beautiful lady. Initially, It was not clear if this was due to the K.S.T theory or if Ali had planned this dinner in advance! However, once he was in his car and started to drive aimlessly around the Hargeisa streets, it became obvious that Ali was planning to randomly pick his queen tonight.

This was Ali’s lucky night. It was dark, cloudy and rainy. People were scampering along the sidewalks and trying to get to their destinations as quickly as possible. Ali, on the other hand, was cruising and looking out for suitable prey. Since all the people were walking ahead of him and he had no chance to check out their faces on such a dark night, Ali had to adjust his criteria for choosing his lady tonight. ‘They’ll all have to be judged on the state of their bottoms’, he said to himself and started chuckling.
The rain was a godsend and Ali had a perfect chance to assess all the candidates as they scurried to the nearest shelter. Some resembled flags fluttering in the wind. Others reminded him of wobbling jelly. Some bottoms looked like a couple of badminton shuttlecocks whilst others looked like a pair of satanic pumpkins!
Finally, as he scanned the roads ahead and considered the various bottoms ambling about, Ali noticed a beautiful pair of bottoms gliding around in unison. They were beautifully similar and they moved to the beat of the hip-hop song Ali had blaring from his car sound system. Left, right, left right left. Left, right, left right left. It was beautifully mesmerising and Ali wondered if he was still slightly intoxicated from his earlier khat session.
He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him and that he was suffering from some sort of optical illusion. Surely nothing could be so perfectly round, so symmetrical and move with such grace. What’s more, it was not just one bottom but TWO! The hallucination was still continuing and Ali thought he spotted beauty, wisdom, virtue and intelligence in the way those two bottoms were bouncing around in the air as their owners distantly walked to their destination.
Ali started to slow down as he drew parallel with the owners of the heavenly bottoms and shouted the words “inakeena aan roobka idinka sii qaadee”! One uttered an incomprehensible exclamation and, upon hearing her gruff voice, Ali got ready to hear some endless insults. Instead, she commenced to pray for him and praise him for being so kind and helpful. Ali was still uncomfortable with her husky voice and told her (and her friend) to hurry up and get in the car.
He was looking in his rear-view mirror as the car doors opened and the two new passengers got in. Ali almost chocked on his own saliva! The heavenly bottoms had beards and what he thought were dresses and hijabs turned out to be white robes and head coverings! Ali took a real good look at both men then commenced to slam his hands against the steering wheel and laugh at his own foolishness. ‘Take us to the mosque at the end of the road, brother’, said one of the heavenly bottoms. Ali nodded his head and started the car as he carried on loudly chuckling to himself.
This was a few years ago. Ali had proven that the K.S.T theory actually works but has not touched one stick of khat ever since.

Gol Janno
Brother I totally agree with you…Rooble shame on you for writing such article and shame on me for reading it. If you want to show the ill effects of Jaad and give us example, what you need to do is articulate your words. Also it would be wise if you had someone proof read your garbage so you could get back some needed feedback. For all we know this is really happened to you…get off the Jaad Rooble. LOL
hahaha, ignore this Gol Janno dude rooble, its clear he has no sense of humor. I feel sorry for those khat chewers, they are in their own world.
Cool story, it doesnt always have to be about news.
The consequency of behaving this way is that,statestic has shown that Somalis who chew chat has higher percentages of infections of viruses that causes HIV/ AIDS.
Those of you who chew this garbage, beware what you are getting into.
Qat should be outlawed in Somaliland and the money used to create jobs for the unemployed, building infrustructure projects
Khat is not what many people think it is. If you really want to get facts on khat, visit http://www.sakijointernational.com
seriously this is the most disgusting time wasting insulting piece of trash that has ever been written by a SOMALI about an issue that addresses certain behaviors of SOMALI people …terrible, …..for the sake of our religion and way of life i beg you to choose a different approach to our problems rather then displaying SOMALI girls as items on super store shelfs and describing them in such utterly shameful way……has reporting for British or american local papers ever crossed your mind? i am sure they would have apreciated this garbage
I enjoyed the story. It has humour and it is fluid. Com on Roble! Give us more.

thank's……….and keep the good work
munira
You are beating upon the bush please keep up with the new world u still having the ruins of the late revolution
Rooble that story was very funny but immoral and shameful. During a long visit to Somaliland I chewed qat and did digri every day in a jamaacad after finishing my daily work. I did this for many years sitting with other religious brothers whilst reciting salawaat and other spiritual qasiido's. We would sit, chew qat and recite salawaat from 3pm to 5pm and then go home. Instead of becoming a shaydaan after chewing qat, most people read books, study, recite Qur'an or Hadith, or do some work to keep their minds busy. As the English say, 'The devil finds work for idle hands.'
My daily religious gathering as with other countless cirlces throughout east Africa did in fact protect me from many evil things. The main reason being that TV's are banned from these circles. Staring at TV images of beautiful girls whislt chewing qaat is what causes 'kac sii tuff', i.e. is what fires up man's carnal passions which lead him to seek the company of girls. Whether one chews qat or not, simply watching a lot of TV will lead one to haraam.
Does not Allah command us in the Qur'an: 'Gaddul basar!' 'And tell the believing men and women to lower their gazes.'
And Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “Sight is a poisonous arrow of the devil. Whosoever, whether male or female, protects himself or herself from evil glances, will be granted a sweet eeman (faith) which will please his/her heart.” [Tabrani]
The following explains this well:
"The heart is like a container that you can keep filling with eeman. But each glance at a non-mahram makes a hole in this container of eeman. Like a bucket full of holes cannot hold water, so also does eeman keep pouring out of the heart of the person who does not restrain his/her glances to what Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) has permitted looking at.
The disease of checking out the opposite sex has unfortunately become quite common. Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) calls it an act of the devil that causes eeman to turn sour. Therefore, if you would like to taste the true sweetness of eeman, you need to guard your glances and not look at what Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) has prohibited.
One needs to protect himself/herself from allowing their aurah (parts of the body men and women are required to keep covered and hidden from the eyes of others) to be seen by others. As we would wear armour if physical arrows were assaulting us, so we should wear concealing clothes to protect ourselves from the poisonous arrows of the Shaytaan. These do not attack our physical body, but they attack our soul and tear holes in our faith."
