00:00 Introduction
My mother would never buy anything that came from South Africa under apartheid.
Boycott is a long journey. But we must stay the course
SAUDIS JORDAN EYGPT BHRAIN UAE AND OTHERS HELPED USA AND ISRAEL IN THE IRAQ WAR 1 MILLION CIVILIANS. GAZA MEANS NOTHING TO THESE TRAITORS AND COWARDS
We should make it permanent
So glad to see these 2 on the same platform. Would love to see more IFG and Thinking Muslim collaboration!
And Allah is most knowing of your enemies; and sufficient is Allah as an ally, and sufficient is Allah as a helper ~ Qur’an 4:45
SAUDIS JORDAN EYGPT BHRAIN UAE AND OTHERS HELPED USA AND ISRAEL IN THE IRAQ WAR 1 MILLION CIVILIANS. GAZA MEANS NOTHING TO THESE TRAITORS AND COWARDS
100% agreed with supporting Fellow Muslims instead of making big companies richer who than do not have our interest at heart.
Boycotting may not harm Israeli economy, but it does harm friends of Israel, who fund, support and promote Israel, and whose support and pressure on other governments allows Israel to exist and continue the genocide.
Great discussion! May Allah reward your efforts and may they be successful
We're 1/4 of humanity. We can do better!
They worked against apartheid South Africa
Bcoz america was against South Africa but now usa support...first Saudi, use should cut ties first
@@balajiraju4157 USA was supporting apartheid government in South Africa. Nelson Mandela was on US terorrist list until 2008.
@@_Make_America_Native_Again_. What are you waffling about....usa sanction South Africa to end apartheid - read about Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986...all countries care about their interest first...usa is neither innocent or hero and so are rest of the country....even arab countries not helping them but except outsider to help their cause....many people are in support of Palestine bcoz of their hatred towards Jews not bcoz the care about Palestine.
Starbucks also have a history of super racist culture so that in addition is another reason to boycott. Just general bad vibes company. JazakAllah Khair for this brilliant episode, love this podcast so much! May Allah (swt) reward you both greatly.
then why are we using Google platform , youtube?
@@porschefanatic1049 unlike google and youtube, starbuck isnt necessary in our daily life and cant be use against them
@@porschefanatic1049 because we are using the platform against them.
@@laurant4282 i think these boycotts are useless. what we really need to focus on is pushing our muslim countries especially those with oil to place embargo with western countries. then we will see actual change. otherwise it’s all talk and huff and a lot of sheeps trying to gain clout while our brothers and sisters in palestine continue to suffer
And in case you haven't been following, it's founder was part of a WhatsApp group of Zionist billionaires that planned to pressurize Eric Adams the mayor of new York and by donating to his campaign, to send in NYPD to Columbia university. So yes, 100% boycott of Starbucks.
Targeted boycott is when you pick 2 or 3 things to boycott, it’s more effective then broad boycott. For example, it’s ok if you go buy an Israeli computer because that is hard to avoid, but then you should avoid McDonalds and Starbucks because those are easy to avoid. Target the weak points and then the whole system will collapse
I have done exactly that since 2007. Never been to M&S, McDonalds and Starbucks since then
Iam sure there are companies to buy computer to avoide Terror state computes . I have bought Hp long time ago , I did not knew about it.
Please bring Sami Hamdi Back to update us
What an excellent and informative discussion. I learned a lot.
Take a step back and think of yourself as either the ant who carries a drop of water to extinguish the fire or the lizard who blows to fan and fuel the fire. As in the life of the prophet Ebrahim a.s.
its BDS for life and the more I learn about which company is supporting I boycot, done. But now I will start giving them feedback
They worked! Even now in Malaysia, they even boycotted a local coffee house, Zus Coffee, for partnering with a pro gene company. A M'sian muslim singer laughed after reading a user text What is Rar far during a live feed and sort of pass it off after realising her mistake. I heard that they are doing a digitine on the celeb.
We will do our part against apartheid as citizen of india.
Few drops of rain make a pond , few ponds make a stream, few streams make a river, few rivers make an sea.
Sanctions is not something that individuals can do, it has to be done by governments...WRONG..its the citezens who have the power and not gvrmnts
JazakAllah khair for this podcast. This was super insightful and interesting!
It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky, provision. But none will remember except he who turns back. So invoke Allah, sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it. ~ Qur’an 40:14
Yazak’allah Ghairan for this podcast! Very informative!
Does it make sense to let the alternative brands know that we are consuming their product and it becomes a way to let them know that our support for them is also predicated on the fact that they do not take the influx of sales for granted and that they have keep working to stay on the right side of justice?
We should go a step further and support Muslim owned brands. Muslims should create bbrands which compete with the zionist ones so people have choices and options and then list these companies to support for example. Eidparty for decorations - a great company for parties. Jack Murat for coffee Australian Muslim brand but they deliver to the UK. Lets reply here to make a list of muslim owned brands that you want to promote so we can invest in them
This is the podcast collab I was looking for
Top Guy.
Alhamdulillah
Someday there will be peace. Inshallah.
What i understood from this brother is that boycotting on the grassroots level ie brands, as opposed to sanctions and divestment, will probably not be most impactful on the political level. That is, my boycotting McDonald's, Starbucks, PureGym etc may not stop the suffering of the Palestinians. However, we still do it because it is not as simple as making a direct impact; boycotting is just one prong. I think many of us have this misunderstanding about boycotting that it doesn't change the grand scheme of things hence pointless.
They plan. And Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners ~ Qur’an 8:30
Say, Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment or the Hour - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers. ~ Qur’an 19:75
Almir Cohan with this brother together need a movement for us laminas to follow
And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and fears Allah and is conscious of Him - it is those who are the attainers ~ Qur’an 24:52
The thing is MC Donals or Starbucks are not key industries. Key industries would be German car manufacturers e.g. ..instead of German car let’s by Japanese etc. these would really hurt the friends of the Child killer army.
We had all this oil money invested in the west, places like major cities, London, newyork and Paris by golf states. It's time to invest in emerging economies in Africa, Turkey and other states around the world that are Muslims. Enough is done to prop up economies that are hostile to Muslims, it's time to change course, look after your own Muslims and create the conditions that will enable them to prosper.
Well done guys

What are some companies in Muslim countries we can invest in? Any list of stocks? Thanks
Who goes McDonald's anyway??!!
Pork Belly Burgers?!!
ASAKWR
Jazakallah khairan Excellent
It doesnt really matter if it works or not. If you buy their products youre indirectly funding their ideals. Based on that alone you shouldn't buy from corporations like that weither it works or not. We dont need their products anyway
100% correct, there's always other options in consumer products and to say it doesn't make a differance is ridiculous
And breaking relations with Israel universities, cultural activities, etc
Great points. Awesome conversation. But I don’t see how Israel created value?
6:30 🎯 💯
I completely disagree. The stuff he said wasn’t impactful is the most impactful.
If you can break Starbucks. That’s actually possible and will cause change.
The other stuff he mentioned is not gonna happen soon enough to actually move the needle.
Can we have a video with suggestions on which funds we SHOULD be supporting?

what is non- Muslims start Halal boycott- Islamophobia ?

Please invite Sheikh Imran Hosein, He's in UK these days.
TH-cam is an American company so why haven't you boycotted it?
It’s indirectly had a significantly massive net positive on this topic, as independent media has changed the global (or more like global north and western POV) of the actual reality in Palestine and like they said, due to independent media (and social media), the horse is now bolted!!!
@BabyGirlDontEvenPlayNo one needs you😀
s*eer amount of wat own is ASTOUNDIN* so need a booklet!
You have zionists TH-cam ads running in your podcast
Is not within their control...and TH-cam puts ads according to what you watched, searched for or bought on the device. Depending on your settings, those ads might be recommendations based on your own history.
No, I don’t think so I don’t google anything about Israel nor on TH-cam. I’m just letting him know that TH-cam places zios ads on his Islamic contents he can always disable the ads
YT ads are personalised to the user. You must have been watching Zionist content, as I didn't get any Zionist ads
The impact of all boycotts is neglectable, if you are comfortably living in a Western society and contribute to the military support of Israel with every penny spent or earned via the taxes collected from these transactions.
Shouldn't it be highest priority of a conscious Muslim to make Hijra to a country that does not support Israel?
But if all the righteous muslims and even the other pro-palestine non-mulims left those countries...those countries would be left to do as they please and would never stop supporting israel.
Consider the branches of the ummah that are in America Europe and other countries the "bring then down from the inside out" branch.
Also, Saudi Arabia is run by Zionists, but of course the muslims cannot leave.
No truer words were said. Muslims do the easy trending part not the REAL hard work. May we the Muslims grow stronger and diligent in our faith.
AAMEEN
Did you even watch the video?? Even if you make hijrah, you still need to boycott. Or what? Did you think you will go to a Muslim country and you will not be exposed to 🇮🇱 products?
@@BlueBlue23 What's worse, living in the country that has a HEAVY hand in providing arms that kill them vs buying a product that supports Israel. We Muslims always run and hide from the real issue. When the Gaza trend dies down weatern countries will continue to butcher and murder Muslims with our taxes. Take our share of the real blame. With love and respect I say this not to argue.
Stopping to pay for Israel bombs by leaving the supporting countries would be a real boycott and would weaken those. Abstaining from your daily Starbucks Latte may be a big sacrifice for you, but will not do the trick.
Living and working in the West increases its workforce, wealth and power and does not change the Western politics.
*_A natural demise of the aggressor is imminent._*
I think all these broad based boycotts do not work and are not sustainable. We should be be narrow and all focus on one company at a time. Like what Americans did with Bud Light after their transsexual advertisement. That hurt them.
Another great episode Alhamdulilah, I had just followed shaykh Ibrahim on instagram earlier today under the suggestions of shaykh Joe Bradford who suggested him for financial advice & understanding for UK Muslims.
