Publication تحديات الاندماج الحضاري لدى الأسرة الصومالية في المهجر والتدابير القرآنية في الحفاظ عليها : دراسة تحليلية على ولاية مينيسوتا أمريكا(Kuala Lumpur : Kulliyyah Abdulhamid Abusulayman Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences, 2025, 2025); ;Ali, Abdurahman Rahma Qassim ;Elatrash, Radwan Jamal Yousef, Ph.DRaudlotul Firdaus Fatah Yasin, Ph.DThis study revolves around the challenges of integration faced by the Somali immigrant families and their attempts to preserve the original Islamic identity. The problem of this research lies in the challenges facing the Somali families due to their alienation from the homeland, their inability to keep up with the societal changes occurring in the countries to which they have emigrated, and the constant fear of losing their cultural values and Islamic identity. The researcher used inductive method to gather Quranic verses and hadiths that talk about the concept of family and to highlight the solutions provided by the Holy Quran, noble traditions of the Prophet, and the writings of Somali writers concerning the issues of Somali diaspora. Especially, it takes into account the United Nations’s report on human rights. Additionally, the researcher adopted analytical method to analyze the data related to the topic, and interview method wherein a meeting was arranged between the researcher and respondents. The interview included twenty people of both genders and from both the first generation and second generation immigrants. Thereafter, the results of the interview were analyzed and observations were recorded in order to examine the challenges faced by the Somali diaspora living in Minnesota. The research was concluded with several important results, the most important of which is that the Somali diaspora faces major challenges, including the growing gap between the first generation and their second generation children who grew up in the emigrated countries. This difference arises due to the parents’ insistence on raising their children in the traditional ways in which they were raised, while the second generation is searching for its own identity linked to its new homeland, which it considers an integral part of its existence. The other major challenges are the loss of identity and disintegration of family. Notably, this issue deepens and becomes more prominent with the lack of connection to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet.10 50
