Feels like my homeland is crumbling and my people are drifting from the deen

Assalamu alaikum. I’m from Somalia, and you’ve probably heard about the mess we’re in-fighting, hunger, politics gone sideways, extremist groups, the whole lot. Biggest poison in all this is qabil, tribalism. We share one ethnicity, one culture, one faith, yet we can’t unite because everyone wants their own clan on top. A god-fearing brother from a rival clan gets passed over while a cheat or liar gets backed just ’cause he’s from their tribe. That mistrust opens the door wide for enemies of Islam and our folk to hit us from outside and crawl into our ranks from inside. We’re wedged between two big Christian countries, Ethiopia and Kenya. Colonial Europeans chopped up Somali lands and handed big chunks to our neighbors-even today, the Somalia you see on the map is barely half our territory and half our people. About a third of Ethiopia and a quarter of Kenya sits on ancestral Somali soil. The people there get pushed around, stripped of their homes, treated like they don’t belong. And still our neighbors want more. They meddle in our politics, sneak across borders, stomp on our sovereignty, all with help from munaafiqs inside who sell out faith and community for money or tribal gain. They twist our history too, paint us as Arab invaders who don’t belong in Africa, even though we’re indigenous. They rewrite the past to make it easier to steal what’s left-like they’re crafting a story where they’re ‘managing’ us because we supposedly can’t govern ourselves. The world shrugs because we look like the villains in their eyes. But the worst rot is from within. Ten years ago, you’d never find hadith rejectors, apostates, or Christians among Somalis-we were 100% Muslim since Islam reached us back in the Prophet’s era and the sahaba’s hijrah. Now these groups spread fitna like wildfire. They have huge followings on TikTok and feed our youth un-Islamic ideas-feminism, lgbt, atheism-tugging them away from deen. They mock our foundations, slander parents and ulema to breed mistrust. They blame scholars for the country’s mess when the ulema aren’t even politicians; they won’t touch the corrupt ones because of tribalism, so they dump the blame on respected sheikhs who only ever said ‘fear Allah, come back to the deen, that’s how we fix things.’ I’m convinced some of these voices are bankrolled by outside outfits to stir chaos. A lot of them work with NGOs pushing feminism and lgbt seminars, and these NGOs even list jobs saying ‘must be a practicing Somali Christian’ when they know we’re Muslim through and through, with no Christian history. They prey on the poor, dangling money and jobs to nudge them away from faith. The government just sits there, doesn’t call these groups out for discrimination. Our youth are getting lost in TikTok mischief, and if you say ‘hayya, remember Allah,’ they snap back that you’re too strict, too radical. Corruption eats through society, and everyone’s too tangled in tribal games to act. I look ahead a couple decades and wonder if we’ll even exist, or if we’ll just be swallowed by enemies and maybe not even have a Muslim majority anymore. We’re under attack from every side, and folks either can’t see it or won’t move. I feel powerless-may Allah protect us. Please keep my brothers and sisters in your duas.
