Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, "The most beloved color to the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) was green (Silsilatul-Ahaadeethis-Saheehah) (#2054)."

while you all were busy "boycotting" Israel, I went on to google to find something better to read but instead I found this in one of my searches
Out of all the so-called Muslim world, only Pakistan had the potential for standing up against the nefarious designs of the global power-brokers and to resist their hegemony. but now while you are busy distracting the people of the world, the NATO forces are waiting on the western front to move into Pakistan to deprive the country of its nuclear assets while on the eastern border India is ready to stage an action replay of 1971 events and has alerted its armed forces to "intervene in to stop threats to peace of the region".”

Just some thoughts. I am making a list of the companies that are supporting Palestine. It seems some of these are showing up on the boycott lists.

Coca-Cola, the largest plant in the mideast is located in Ramlah and the franchise is owned by Zahi Khouri, who was born in Jaffa now lives in Rahmlah and owns Palestinian National Beverage Company which is the only franchised bottler of Coca-Cola in Palestine and Israel. 100% of the employees are Palestinian

Nestle-- Formed their branch in Palestine in 1946 and contiues to do business as Food Specialities Bethlehem Co located in the West Bank and again has 100% Palestinian Employees there\

Carmel-Agrexco which is listed as Israeli produce company and exports produce under the names of Carmel, Jaffa and Coral. Is actually located in Gaza and all of the produce is from Palestinian orchards. Sadly, many products produced in Gaza get exported as being Israeli. Gaza has no means of exprting except through Israel and there it gets stamped as being Israeli.

Agrexco is the one I am most concerned about as it is 100% Palestinian and is the sole means of income for some Palestinians in Gaza. Yes the produce is marked Product of Israel, as nearly all Palestinian goods are as the only means of shipping goods out mof Palestine is through Israel, at which point they get stamped as being a product of Israel.

I will send the links for each of these companies once I get my list finished. I am getting the information from Palestinian sources.

Uncle Woodrow, care to give the source please.... thank you...

Many people may disagree, but it's not my intention to indulge in debates. Knowledge precedes speech and action. But here is what some 'Ulamaa (Scholars) have said on the matter of boycotting:

Arabic Audio:


Shaykh Dr Saleh Ibn al-Fowzaan On The ruling regarding boycotting American products

Translation:1

Question: These days, we find written in some newspapers people calling others to boycott American products, not to buy or sell them. It was even written today in a newspaper that Muslim scholars themselves call for such boycotts and that doing this is an obligation upon every single Muslim. It is said that to purchase even one item from these products is forbidden and that anyone who does so commits a major sin and is assisting them and the Jews in killing Muslims. We hope you will clarify this matter since there’s a dire need for such clarification. Also, would a person ever be rewarded for doing this (boycotting)?

Answer: First, I would request a copy or the clipping from this newspaper that contains this kind of talk the questioner mentioned.

Second, this is incorrect. The scholars have never issued religious verdicts saying that buying American products is forbidden. These American goods are still imported and sold in Muslim markets. And even so, it wouldn’t harm America in the least if you yourself did not buy their products. No products are to be boycotted unless the government, the legitimate ruler, issues a sanction or boycott against another country. In this case, the boycott would be legitimate and binding. As for just some individuals wanting to do this and passing their own religious verdicts in support of it, then this is forbidding something that Allah has made permissible and that is not allowed.2

2 Taken from the cassette: “Fatāwá al-‘Ulamā’ fī al-Jihād wa al-‘Amaliyyāt al-Intihāriyyah”.




Shaykh Ahmad Ibn Yahya An-Najmee (rahimahullaah) speaks briefly about the issue of boycotting products:

http://news.okaz.com.sa/okaz/Data/2006/1/30/Art_312991.XML

Translation:

“Shaykh Ahmad An-Najmee was reported in Okaz, a Saudi Daily, to have said that the obligation is that Muslims feel angry over what individuals from Denmark did by mocking the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), but, he said, boycotting products is a decision to be taken by the government and not left to individuals.”




The Permanent Council of Senior Scholars on Boycotting Products Manufactured by Non-Muslims:

Question: Some people these days call others to boycott American products and companies like Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, etc. So, should we comply with such requests?

Are transactions like buying and selling with non-Muslims in countries at war against us permissible, or are they only allowed with those with whom we have peace?

Answer: It is allowed to buy any product that is permissible in itself no matter where it was produced unless the government commands that we should boycott something for some benefit to Islam or the Muslims. This is because the general rule regarding buying and selling is that it’s allowed, Allāh (Ta'aala) says:

And Allāh has made selling permissible.
[Sūrah al-Baqarah, 2:275]

And the prophet ( salAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ) used to buy things from the Jews.2

Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) on Boycotting Products Manufactured by Non-Muslims1

Question: There is a drink called “Cola” that is supposedly produced by a Jewish company. So what is the ruling of consuming this drink, or of selling it? Is this considered cooperating in something that is sin and transgression?

Answer: You have never heard that the prophet ( salAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) used to buy food from a Jewish man to feed his family?! He died while his shield was pawned to this Jewish man.2 You have never heard that the messenger ( salAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ) used to accept gifts from the Jews?!3 If we are going to go so far as to say this, then let us not overlook something even more obvious: we use automobiles that are manufactured by Jewish companies. There are other beneficial products made only by them…4

:wasalamex

Faiza, I know it is not a major sin if we purchase a zionist product, but please just answer me one thing. If you were giving money to buy a product, and you know that the money u have given is going to be used to fund an army which is going to slaughter your Muslim brothers and sisters, would you still give the money to buy that product?

That is what BIG 100% zionist companies like starbucks n Marks&Spencer are doing. They fund the Israeli army and that army then goes onto committing attacks like the ones that are happening in Gaza. And we help them by buying their products. Lots of things we can get from other places and we don’t NEED to buy from these companies and stores.

It would not kill a Muslim if he got his takeaway from somewhere else and didn’t go to McDonalds. We should avoid when we can. As for those products of theirs which we can’t avoid, or by avoiding them we are putting ourselves in a lot of difficulty, then buy them. Use it/Eat it with the intention of strengthening yourselves so we can defend our brothers and sisters who are being oppressed.

I have also heard and read articles from scholars who say it is our moral duty and I am not going to wait for Gordon Brown to tell me when it’s okay to boycott Israeli products. (which he's not going to do in a million years anyway)

can you put India, Russia, America, jordan, Iran, UK etc on your list too please and since sectarian killers are causing more deaths in Sudan/Pakistan than Israel in palestine, should we not boycott them too?

every one seems to be using Israel as a washbasin to clear their consciences

west lets it get away with excesses to wash away and hide the murder of 10s of millions through the ages plus still continuing anti-Semitism in their own countries

east (except Palestinians, they have their own grievances and motives)wants to wipe them of the map to hide their inadequacies and inabilities to stop worldwide wholesale slaughter of people in general and Muslims of India, Russia, Africa and Pakistan in particular
 
Uncle Woodrow, care to give the source please.... thank you...

Each is from separate sources in Palestine. When I edit the list a bit more and get it a bit more organized I will have the source listed on each. Right now I only posted my rough draft I have saved on notepad.

I am still snowed in and we can not get out of the house. So looks like today I will have time to finish it. (Our cars are now completely buried under snow drifts)
 
AsSalamOAlaikum WaRehmatuAllah WaBarkatuhu

As Muslims we need to do what we can to help our brothers and sisters, my brothers and sisters in Gaza are getting murdered out there. We must unite, and support them. Boycotting may seem pointless to some, but if everyone unites, and boycotts individually, then it'll be boycotted collectively.

Palestine are asking for us. It is our responsibility and obligation, individually and collectively, to support Muslims, all over the world.

Allah (Subhaana Wa'Taala) says:
"If they ask you for help or support (because of war, calamity etc) in the Deen, then it is your duty to support them...[8:72]​

FiAmaaniAllah

AsSalamOAlaikum WaRehmatuAllah WaBarkatuhu

Allah (Subhaana Wa'Taala) says:
"If they ask you for help or support (because of war, calamity etc) in the Deen, then it is your duty to support them...[8:72]

It is clear the Palestinians need help and support, they need us in every way we can. Boycott, donations, leaflets spreading the word etc....

Our own desires are stopping us, from doing everything we can, it seems some people are OK to boycott when it doesnt affect them, i.e. for someone who loves cola, will naturally be against boycotting, because their desires take over them.

Some of us, are just posting on this thread to hinder rather than help.

Have some optimism rather than pessimism!!! :rollseyes

According to this article, theses products we are boycotting is not Haram!! It is permissible!! We all know that!!

Great, so should we all collectively go and buy as much cola, nestle, and m&s products as possible?? (a rhetorical question =) , which you say "no")

I can go get myself a cola now, and proof to you its halal. However the Sheik doesnt answer the question if we can boycott during the war, he simply gives a general view, that these products are permissible but only haram when the govenment etc sets a law.

Now during this current climate, where our brother and sisters are being killed. Boycotting should be taking place, individually and collectively. Help the Palestinians, not the Israelis!!!

I would understand if cola is the only drink you can afford!! Or M&S is the only shopping you can do.



None of these by no means Haram!!

When the war is over, go back to having MacDonald's!! :rollseyes

NOW GO BOYCOTT!!!

FiAmaaniAllah
 

AsSalamOAlaikum WaRehmatuAllah WaBarkatuhu

So you going to the shop to get some water, you have 3 choices....

1) The shop on the left claims by buying a product, he will donate 20% towards anything related to the Israel army

OR

2) The shop on the right claims by buying a product, he will donate 20% towards anything related to the Palestinian aid.

OR

3) The shop at centre claims by buying a product, he will give you a free gift

Which one would you choose? Who are we trying to benefit? Israel? Palestine? Ourseleves

My favourite drink was Oasis, due to the war its Ribena!!! :rollseyes

The choice is yours!!!

FiAmaaniAllah
