Pilihanku

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I am different, full stop.

1. I am user of Nokia at present. I have never liked Nokia and never will. Everyone knows I am a fan of Samsung, I even held U-600 with both hands before I decided to buy Nokia. What made me change? I have my reasons.

2. I hate I-Pod. I've always hated it and that will never change. That's why I decided to go with Sony.

3. I hate common things, that's why I hate Man Utd.

4. I partially disagreed with 'Boikot Israel 'and will continue to do so. I have my reasons, I am aware of many fatwas and I abide them. They have come up with statistics to show that it has worked. They claimed Israel have lost few Billions, which I still believe is not good enough.

e.g.,
Profit 5 billion - Loss 1 billion = Profit 4 billion.

Some of them still have the mindset of fighting with weakened Israel rather than building a stronger Muslim community. I came up with my thoughts previously, and they disagreed. Let me put it this way,

Profit 5 billion - loss 1 billion + (-Muslims gaining 1 billion) = 3 billion


The focus needs to change. We need to start building our strength again. We need to start supporting the Muslims, rather than hoping the foes to become weaker. The first equation shows they are still getting 4 billion to empower their armoury.

2nd equation shows they will have 3 billion at their disposal, while the Muslims have 1 billion.


To simplify this, let us start supporting our economy. Those 2 objects above are the things I am currently using here in Auckland. You see, I am weakening Israel by RM8 and helping Muslims becoming RM8 richer. It is small, but surely will be bigger if it's done collectively. kan jadi macam killing 2 birds with one stone..

This is also why I made public my support towards the use of Dinar currency. We are not helping the course, instead we continue to make them stronger, indirectly.

I hate Man Utd not because they are so strong, but because Liverpool can't beat them. Liverpool are not strong enough to be the champions. Let's face it. and for them to be at the top, they need to strengthen the team, as shown by that 2nd equation. I would not enjoy seeing Liverpool beating 9-men Man Utd. I would rather see 10-men Liverpool beating on form Man Utd.

p/s : 1. One of the reasons with Boikot Israel, who would be responsible to secure new jobs for Muslims working in Coca Cola, if they were dismissed by their employer? You are implicating more losses to the Muslims, totally opposite to what the plan was made for.

2. please stop those thrash talking. Stop talking, start initiating please

till next time.
assalamualaikum

****update*** - as suggested by mr/ms anonymous, Sufi is not owned by Muslims. My bad, if it's true. Somebody please check on this. Thanks.

Salam Dr Azri,

Am totally agree with ur thought, that the way to defend ourself is by building stronger Muslim community.

Nice start, by using the HALAL logo as a mechanism to support for-Muslim product.

But SAFI is a for-Muslim product, not a Muslim's product, it's made by a non-muslim.

somehow i support Arqam's effort... Buya...Buya

anonymous: thanks, that's new to me. IMO, I still need to check the validity of your statement.

but you get my anyway, right?

technically, arqam's strategy was near perfect. tp sayang nye aqidah diorg lari..mgkn skrg dah betul, Tuhan je yg tahu.

yes, i got ur point, mmg satu idea yang penting, tapi pengusaha Islam especially di Malaysia kene upgrade qualiti dan capaian (market) produk. Sebab melalui pengamatan saya, yang menariknya, pembeli non-malay ramai yang mencari yang berkualiti baik, berlainan dengan ramai pengguna Islam, mau murah, dan rigit mengenai brand. Kerana non-malay percaya Halal- lan - Tayyiba tu mesti baik dr segala sudut. ini kenyataan. Lebih2 lagi bila kite tertonton kilang roti high 5 beberapa tahun lepas...ewwww. These romti maker think nothing but money! aiyoo...

Arqam memang la jauh dr Islam sebenar, kerana perjuangan mereka itu mempunyai kepentingsn tertentu, Dr Asri kata perjuangan mesti bebas kepentingan individu atau kelompok (melayu camne?). Cuma entah camana, economic effort depa mmg nampaknya sesuai untuk umat melayu ketika tu, mungkin kerana lebih kepada servis rather than profit oriented?...

Sufi mmg vs Salafi atau tajdid. Arqam salah sebab aqidah salah. But to blame sufism from that point is not appropriate at all. Sila kaji ulama'2 terdahulu, bagaimana Islam masuk ke tanah melayu. Atau mungkin penafsiran sufism itu bercanggah ant satu sama lain. Overgeneralization slalu silap kan?

Assalamualaikum Dr Azri

Profit 5 billion - loss 1 billion + (-Muslims gaining 1 billion) = 3 billion

I'm very delighted with the equation you derived as above. Just want to add...

Lost 1 billion is due to boycott on Israel's product right?

Muslim's gaining also contributed to Israel's lost right?

From the equation...

Muslim's Gaining is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to Israel's lost...

Just think this way...

We have to choose between 2 products...
Either Israel's Product or Muslim's Product...
If we boycoot Israel's Product, therefore we would buy Muslim's Product...

As a result Muslim Gained Profit...

As conclusion...

Boycott israel product comes first or side by side with Muslim's Gaining profit...

Jazakallah...

Just want to share 2 facts as below...

"Motorola is involved in the destructive actions of the Israeli army in Gaza, the West Bank and during the 2006 invasion of Lebanon. The information in the divestment report of NEUMC shows that Motorola supplies the Israeli army with different types of fuses for its highly explosive bombs, for example the 980 Low Altitude Proximity Fuse that is said to dramatically increase ammunition effectiveness against soft and light targets."

"A pressure group CAMERA is orchesting a secret, long term campaign to infiltrate the popular online encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA to rewrite Palestinian history, pass off crude propaganda as fact and take over WIKIPEDIA administrative structures to ensure these changes go either undetected or unchallenged."

anonymous: yup,kualiti dan kuantiti mesti terbaik.High 5 tu Muslim nye ke?kalau betul, x patut aa gitu.produk2 Muslim kene jadi yg elok, kalau bukan yg terbaik.

Dr M?mgkn sy yg terpengaruh dgn pemikiran dia..

skejap mr/ms anonymous, saya x pernah diskas pun pasal sufism.Dalam Seminar Tasawuf and something apa tah, yang disertai oleh pakar hadith Maulana Asri Yusuf, antara kesimpulan yg dibuat sufi yg x bertentangan x salah pun..yg salah bila menyimpang..men-generalised kan tu mgkn tafsiran individu..

Unknown said...

Ir Jawa : salam bro.aku x pernah kata stop boikot.aku dh tulis aku ikut fatwa yg kata boikot.n aku sendiri boikot gak.cume ada bende lebih yg kita buat..tu yg aku suggest..

cume aku selektif dalam boikot.sbb aku xnak kerugian seberapa kpd Israel menyebabkan kerugian yg lebih besar kepada Muslim.

selepas beberapa tahun, apa2 strategi mesti dinilai untuk melihat keberkesan dia..mgkn kene tokok tambah sket untuk lebih berjaya, tu pendapat aku la..

Unknown said...

azman : Newcastle? nak sokong camna kalau ngan Chelsea kalah semalam?hehehe..nak ikutkan sokong team mana pun xde sapa menang pun kat sini kan..after all kita ni just penyokong je..
