COCA COLA SECRET IS FINALLY OUT;contains alcohol (OP)
ummah i know its a bit long but i was sent this and wanted to know what you all thought.
After a detailed investigation it has been proven beyond any doubt
>that Coke and other cooldrinks are HARAAM for Muslim consumption.
> > > All of the facts gathered during my investigation are found herewith

>Mujlisul Ulama of South Africa.
> > > This subsequently led to the Mujlisul Ulama declaring COKE HARAAM in

> > > Just as Islam has prohibited whatever leads toward the HARAAM, it has

>(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
> > > "Do not do what the Jews did in order to (technically) leaglise

>actions consider such practices to be permissible, but the jurists of Islam
>consider them HARAAM, since Allah's purpose was to prevent them from
>hunting on the Sabbath, whether by direct or indirect means.
> > > Calling a HARAAM thing by a name other than its own or changing its

> > > A time will come when people will devour usury, calling it "trade"."

There's no alcohol in Coke or Pepsi, but it does have a quite substantial caffeine content, and caffeine is a mild stimulant. Not as much as in coffee, but then you don't usually drink coffee by the half-litre.
They do a caffeine free version for those who don't want it or who are actually allergic to it.
Re: COCA COLA SECRET IS FINALLY OUT;contains alcohol
is this valid?

so true......thats the reason, why i dont drink soft drinks. And as bro Fi said......if ur not sure abt something , to be on the safer end, its better to avoid. I aggree with that too.
Re: COCA COLA SECRET IS FINALLY OUT;contains alcohol
I doubt that Coke contains alcohol. If it did it would not be sold in schools, and the company would probably have been prosecuted for keeping it secret.
Coca Cola doesn't really have a secret recipe either. Scientists worked it out by reverse-engineering it. There are now instructions of how to make coke on the web.
Re: COCA COLA SECRET IS FINALLY OUT;contains alcohol
i duno about other countries, but in the UK if the alcohol percentage is below a certain figure(im nto sure what) then kids an buy it. Bass Shandy is sold here in schools and vending machiness coz its only 0.25% proof.....which apparently is ok for kids to buy. so its possible, but i dont think that coke does have it...check the link i provided before inshallah
Re: COCA COLA SECRET IS FINALLY OUT;contains alcohol
*heart beating fast*
if coke has it ive always got pepsi besides me..lol..
if not fanta, ooh i love OASIS!!..tooo so it shouldnt be a problem ...i think...

did those of you who asked about french fries read this?
McDonalds (www.mcdonalds.co.uk )
It has come to our attention that McDonalds French Fries are NOT suitable for vegetarians. The following is an email received from McDonalds by a vegetarian :
> Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's with your questions regarding the
> ingredients in our french fries.
>
> For flavor enhancement, McDonald's french fry suppliers use a minuscule amount of beef
> flavoring as an ingredient in the raw product. The reason beef is not
> listed as an ingredient is
> because McDonald's voluntarily (restaurants are not required to list ingredients) follows the
> "Code of Federal Regulations" (required for packaged goods) for labeling
> its products. As such, like food labels you would read on packaged goods... the
> ingredients in "natural flavors" are not broken down. Again, we are sorry if this has caused any
> confusion.
>
that's a mickey d email.
also, i used to work with a vegetarian. one of his special treats was mickey d ff's. that is, until he learned that the veggie grease they were frying in had beef "flavor" in it. (that would affect the fried fish, also)
don't get me wrong, before i "reverted", i LOVED mickey d's. right up until my 4 day heart attack!!
if you are young, you probably love the coke thingy's. i understand that. but can you really consider it a food item???? do they not take sweet Allah(SWT) given water and just muck it up all to he....ck?? is there a single health benefit to soft drinks??
when i see them handing out sodas at the Masaajid, i kinda squirm. why PROMOTE it?
