Who
would your Hero/Heroine or Role model be ?
 Among
the living, with the exception of your mother and father, if you
were asked to pick a HERO in our society who would that HERO be?
and why? If a name doesn't’t pop up in your mind
within seconds, then, you must ask yourself why?
Give it a second thought. Have a bit of a thought process and try
to come up with one who would qualify to your criteria of a hero.
If you fall short to name one again, then you must rethink seriously
why you couldn't.
We wonder how many heroes could we collectively come up with, and,
under which criteria we measure them against. We believe this will
give a sense of our Harari society’s expectation. Please feel
free to share your thoughts.

daughters.

for his people and City of Harar.I would like to thank him from the
bottom of my heart for his generosity, contribution his time and sacrifice.

By N
Who: My mother ( Saada Ahmed Abubaker )
Why: My mom is my hero - because all my life,
she has sacrficed everything she had for me and my brother.
Coming to a country with nothing and giving us all
she had. I can talk to my mom about anything, and we
don't keep secrets, she's not judgemental and she
listens to all my problems. She raised two well
educated children in a world that's not always right.
She's always putting us first and always wants what's best
for us. She has been an inspiration to me, to be good and to
do good. I will forever love my mother and she is my hero because
without her I would not be here on this earth. if I can be half
the mother she is to me, then I know my children will be in good
hands. :O) I love you mom!
Who: Biraq
Why: How can I put this? Biraq is
a hero because of his knowledge and wisdom. I have not come across
a Harari who has his kind of wisdom, who sees things in a different
and very interesting way. his views are his views, he does not try
to please the crowd just for the sake of popularity. He is as real
as real can be. His mind is very much needed......
By M
Who: Biraq UL Harar
Why: Very simple, Hero = worrier Do we have anybody
who qualify for this other than Biraq at this time?
Didn’t he save Harar from catastrophic
Millennium and reinstated our history?
Who: muhamed Harari
Why: He deserves to be recognized for his efforts
and hope for a better Harar. May you succeed.
By Mk
Who: Sabri Omer
(from Atlanta)
Why: I heard about him from friends.
This brother worked so hard, with the responsibilitiws of
being a father he managed to save money on his own and build a hospital
in Harar, even transported ambulances. Now, this Brother is
a true Hero, a living example of what ONE man can do!
I love you whoever you are! May Allah give you abundance! Bless your kind heart!
By Malika
Who: Members of the Hanolato, Kulub, etc. etc.
Why: First and foremost,
anyone who was blessed with having good parents to raise him or
her to be a good and productive citizen and a credit to his race
should look up to his parents as heroes and raw models. Aside from
this, there were hundreds of Harari individuals who went further
beyond a call of shared community duty and did a great service to
all Hararis, namely the Hanolato group, the Kulub group, the Ameshna
teachers, etc. etc. Some of these people paid dearly with their
lives for the common good and should be honored by all. Each and
every member of these groups were and still should be considered
heroes of the community. Allah bless the souls of all, both the
living and those who passed away. And of course, there are others
who individually did a great service for their community by helping
the poor, teaching the have-nots, etc. And there are also individuals
who are contributing more than their share in different Afochas,
both at home and abroad, to improve the life of the Harari people.
The annual gathering of the Harari people did not happen out of
the blue; there were individuals who toiled day and night to make
it a success and a thank you should be in order for all those who
freely offered their time and energy. Hararis have numerous heroes
and heroines, both on individual basis and as a group and I urge
everyone to get out-of-the-box mentality and broaden your horizon
when jotting down you r opinion. Personally, I do not agree with
some of the suggestion I saw on the site because the achievement
of some of the individuals do not measure up to the one I mentioned
above by a long shot. And I must add the suggestions are just a
reflection of a lack of history and tradition of the Harari people
on the part of those who made the suggestion. Please try to read
and understand our history before you jump in to jot down your suggestion.
. I am sad to note this, but our forefathers and foremothers had
a lot of good in them than I dare not say about the present generation.
And since Khariwer is asking us about the living heroes excluding
our parents, I am afraid the list is very short if we exclude those
I already mentioned.
Who: the
founders of schools for our community
Why: our fathers the living and the
dead who dedicated their life, time, and money to built education
centers must be remembered and mentioned as heroes collectively.
If there are Heroes among us, this generetion, we will be juged
and refered as heroes by the following generation
Who:Mohammed
Abdurahman Shekh
Why: He
is the man of Harar I call him in recent Harar history. Per his
time sucrifies including his precious life. He is the one who
was on front line when Harar was on Disaster time with Haramram
and League... dispute time. He struggled and negotiated with his
full knowledge and ability with current gov. (Eprdf) to give us
our precious harar to hararis. This is a significant history re-writen
by golden paint in every harari. I say he deserve the best medal
with all respect in front of all hararis.

Who: Imam
Ahmed Ibrahim Al-Ghazi.
Why: to much
to say about Imam Ahmed. Read Futuhul-Habash book. book availabel
in Harari Language.
Who: Oma Kamaro Ahmed Abong'
Why: Alahu yatrahamlayu. Little fact known about our unsung hero Oma Kamaro
Ahmed Abong, after inheriting the private school of Shik Abubakar
Madrasa from her father; she donated the school to the Hararries,
so all Harar children will be granted free education. Now the school
is in desperate need of renovation; unfortunately, her name is never
mentioned, and very few people are aware of her lifetime commitment,
and contribution to improving the lives of Harari community. When
she passed away in the 1960’s the students of Shik Abubaker Madras dedicated
a song on her honer: Wa Kafti nta mutba matlaya zo Koram mehra zala
yetrasa ale sum zo Ay kamaria Ahmed Abong Alaho Yatrahamlayo I hope
we all teach our children about our Harari Heros, so they feel proud
of where they came from.

activity. As a women she is my hero, thumps up!
K.A.Abdalla
Who: Haji Rasheed
Why: Haji Rasheed is my choice. I am sure those
of us who grew up in Harar are very familiar with haji Rasheed's philanthropic
services,( providing free
traditional medical treatment to his community) and most of all during
the water problem in Harar he was the first person who did his best
to provide water to the public. May Allah reward him for his good deeds.

Hassan aka Mohammed Al-Harari
Why: Tirelessly
without losing hope and conviction, open heartily Al-Harari works
day and night for people of Harar. His Malasay web page alone is
a living example! He is a gentleman in scholar and deserves to be
my hero. Likewise, it is my honor to be his fan. Not only I am an
admirer but also he is my Hero! May Allah give him more courage
and protect him from evil for a burden he bears on his shoulder,
the load of his people. As his heart is always with his people,
the blessing of Allah may always be with him. May the protection
of almighty be with him for all time? On behalf of my family I wish
him all the best!
