Coke is not as acidic as most people think. The stomach acid that is inside our bodies all the time is much stronger, in fact we get heartburn if it leaves the stomach.

Anything for you bro!

"Coke is not haram, and those that claim that it contains such and such things are sheep who follow a crowd of people who continue to chant "Haram haram haram" because they are trying to form a 'unity' between the muslims over petty lies"

Hows that? ha ha..

*reads first post*

AH! The horror!

*starts writing an hate-mail, calling Zubair an Zionist etcetc*





Just kidding. Good thread, mashaAllah. So good to see you online, by the way. Though I do watch every step you take on MV... Hehe.. No, not really. *somewhat stalker*

Ha ha ha ha,.. believe it or not, there are people out there who have said bad things behind my back recently,.. inside of mosques!

May Allah subahan we ta'ala forgive their and our sins, inshaAllah, and grant us the mercy to find love and excuses for one another, aswell as having faith in the good of our fellow Muslims. Amiin!

I'll tell you whats most disturbing.

My article was posted in the mosque on a thursday.

It was up there until after Friday/Jumuoh prayers.

Then someone removed it, obviously it wasn't their cup of tea.

I didn't care, i had done my part.

I returned to the mosque the next day only to find MORE lies on the board.

"Fatwa from saudi,.. don't write "MOHD",.. don't write "MECCA"..

Here is a thought, how about we as a Ummah do something good for a change? :-P Hate to admit it, but there aren't many good things happening around the world these days, as i am sure you are all aware.

Having said that, does that justify the wrong actions of millions of muslims? Are we as muslims, encouraged by the Quran kareem, by the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw) to spread lies? The obvious answer is No. Am i correct, or not?

So why is it that every year, 1 or 2 rumors are recycled? For example.... "Coke is haram because it contains alcohol" "Coke is haram because it contains pig" "Coke is haram because it contains cocain".."If you turn the Logo "Coke cola" around it says "La mecca la muhammed" which means "NO MECCA NO MUHAMMED"...

I am SURE you have all come across 1 of those atleast once or twice, eh?

Its nothing to smile about, or laugh about. As i've heard Shaykh Hamza Yusuf quote in 1 of his lectures "It is the worst of things that make us laugh"

If someone says "Coke is bad for your health", i would nominate that person for an award. But those out there who continue to spread such rumors need to think before they forward emails, or post in forums.

People think "I will be doing the ummah a favour by spreading this information, i will be doing my duty as a muslim". I am sure those brothers and sisters are being SINCERE when spreading such emails. But being sincere isnt everything at times, especially in this time and age when you have SHAYKH GOOGLE. By punching in keywords such as "Coke Haram Pork" "Coke Haram Alcohol" you can find refutations of such claims all over the internet.

Coke isn't the only victim, there is a rumor out there that 'Pepsi' means "Pay every penny (to the) State (of) Israel"

How pathetic is that?

What i've noticed recently is that those very muslims who have told me recently that "Coke and pepsi are haram" are drinking 'Fanta' 'L&P' 'Sprite', which is all made by the same company. How is that for blindly following a propoganda?

There are those out there who will spread such emails and end it with a 'Cheering support for Mecca Cola'. How different is 'Mecca Cola' to all those other Drinks? If you drop a nail in a glass of coke, it will rust, Right? If you drop a nail in a glass of mecca cola, will it turn to gold? No it will not. You need to get your head checked if your answer was "Yes" to that question... :-P

On the other hand, if they say "Buy Mecca Cola instead of coke because Coke donates money to the illegal state of israel", i won't argue with them. But to SPREAD the TRUTH by slapping a LIE on top of the TRUTH does the truth no Justice. Remember that next time, Insha'allah.

Do not get me wrong brothers and sisters, this post is not in any support of Coke or Pepsi or any other american Product. Before any1 starts emailing me hate mails calling me a "Zionist", please think twice. lol. My point is pretty clear.

We, as an Ummah, cannot afford to sit around toasting marshmallow over ashs. Stop posting rubbish in forums. Stop emailing such rubbish to others. Stop promising them that if they pass the message on to "20 people, Allah will answer your prayers in 2 hours", while you may think you are doing your bit for the ummah, you are stepping into a "NO ENTRY" zone, which is Allahs Qa'da and Qa'dar, which Allah (swt) has knowledge over, not you or I.

Do something more useful with your time. Do something which will benefit the Ummah. Go plant some trees. Help your parents around the house. Go clean the local mosque - clean the windows, brush the carpark with a broom, etc.

There is so much to be done. So lets stop wasting our energy on spreading useless information which will benefit no-one.

"Unity based on falsehood" is a message that our Prophet (saw) didn't convey to us. For us to be conveying lies to our friends, family, random people (by posting such lies in places such as our MOSQUES) is a disgrace, it is a stain on the pure whiteness that our Religon is founded on.

So please, Think before you email/post on forums in the future. Remember, Shaykh Google. And when that fails, use your Aql. Allah swt asks us in the Quran "Do you not use your intellect?"

Insha'allah, All that i have said above is a reminder for myself before anyone else. If you sensed any self righteousness in the above post, then please Pray to Allah swt for my forgivness.

Insha'allah, i pray that anyone who reads this may reflect on it and benefit from it.

Jazakallah/Jazakillah for your time Brothers/Sisters.

Wa'salaam.

Huh?? What's meant with 'don't write MOHD and MECCA'? Can you elaborate..?

I'm glad I don't have to deal with stuff like this in our mosque. Elhamdulillah.

Well, there are people out there who write "Mohd" in short for "Muhammed". There are millions of people out there with the surname of "Mohammed/Muhammed", and they spell "Mohd" when they quickly spell their surnames, i do too in my signature. A "Fatwa from saudi" has been issued saying "To spell MUHD/MOHD is haram, because MUHD/MOHD means "DoG with loud mouth" And to spell Mecca instead of Makka is haram, MECCA means "House of wines.."

..along with other lies.

I am sure i've read those lies on this forum in the past, and on many other forums.

Brother Suffiyan,.. Jews don't own Coca Cola Ltd.

Isn't it also kind of a strange concept to say "Jews own Coca Cola" anyway? Did all the "Jews" get together and decide to establish a worldwide softdrink giant in order to put a coded message on the can? ....

In an effort to rally Arab boycotts against The Coca-Cola Company and other American companies, many variations of a rumor exist claiming that our company provides financial support to Israel. One widely circulated rumor claims NBC reported that Coca-Cola had announced it would donate four days' profits to Israel.
Our Response: This information is not true, but has been circulated by ill-informed or ill-intentioned third parties. The Coca-Cola Company is not political, and does not support individual countries, governments or political or religious causes.

The Coca-Cola Company and its bottling partners operate worldwide in more than 200 countries. While The Coca-Cola Company is a global company, the Coca-Cola business in each country is a local business. Coca-Cola beverages are produced, sold and distributed by authorized local bottling partners, who own and operate bottling plants and sales/distribution centers, employing many local citizens.

Which is why i have made some alterations to my article, insha'allah i will post the new article in a minute.
