walikum salam wr wb
my personal opinion (on the greater issue not just coke) is as follows:
It is high time the Muslims instead of migrating to and living in the USA and UK started facing the hardships and trials of life in their own under developed homepands t make them better!
Passing fatwas on Coca Cola while living in the USA is pure hipocracy in my opinion. Sheikhs doing such things only lose complete respect in my eyes.
They often do not take into account a simple thing... GPS (global positioning Sattellites)
This ENTIRE network 100% of it is owned and run by the US govt! It is the system by the use of which ships are able to sail throughout the oceans and position themselves on radar and such devices. It is also the system because of which ALL planes are able to successfully navigate through out the skies.
Boycotting American goods should include this - then where would we be?
I say boycott ALL these tyrants USA, UK, ISREAL and their friends and allies!
Take our capital and ourselves away from these countries and shift to peaceful nations or our homelands!
Develop our own nations and build our own ummah together even if we have to face hardships.
At this point I would like to Quote for you all a surah from the Quran and compare it to the world of today:
Surah 80 Abbasa
1 The (Prophet) frowned and turned away.
2 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
3 But what could tell thee but that perchance he might Grow (in spiritual understanding)?
4 Or that he might receive admonition and the teaching might profit him?
5 As to one who regards himself as self-sufficient
6 To him dost thou attend;
7 Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
8 But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly
9 And with fear (in his heart)
10 Of him wast thou unmindful.
11 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
--------------------------
This surah talks about a blind man who approached the Prophet(s) while he was preaching to a influential and rich group of Quraish leaders. The blind man kept asking questions but the Prophet turned away from him and attended to the Qurais leaders upon which this ENTIRE surah was revealed!
5 As to one who regards himself as self-sufficient
6 To him dost thou attend;
Dosent this sound a lot like the USA and UK ? Self sufficient not in need? Yet we all want to attend to them - give them dawah - live in their contries! How come?
8 But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly
9 And with fear (in his heart)
10 Of him wast thou unmindful.
Dosent this sound like our current Muslim Ummah? Striving earnestly but in fear of the enemies pouncing upon them? And we turn away from them? Move out of our homelands and shift to the west.
OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE
and we are too bust in the west living peaceful lives!
It is something to think about.
Heaven is in the shade of swords (sacrifice)
Will we take on this sacrifice or make excuses of boycotting goods while supporting their economy by living there all our lives!
The choice is ours to make bros and sisters!
This is not just a thread about Coca Cola - this is a thread about all that is right and wrong.
May Allah swt benefit us from the good in it and safeguard us from the bad in it ameen.
Allah knows best and all that I may have said wrong unknowingly know that it was my error and may Allah swt forgive me. And all that I said right it was from Allah swt.
