assalamualaikum wrt.. peace be upon u..
i've been looking through a complete list of consumer boycott because every now & then, there're new found-out products that should be boycotted. so, this is my personal list especially of products which students @ russia-malaysia like me usually use/consume.
[when i was writing this, i could not access the famous boycott web source -inminds. so i use other sources]
hopefully, others may found this helpful as well. :)
~B4 WE START~
this list is endless. and i dont want u ppl feel too much burdened until the beauty/mercy of islam is faded away. so, here're some guidelines b4 we start our boycott.
- why r u doing this? for muslims, this is deeply related to our faith (iman) and our brotherhood connection with our brothers-sisters @ Palestine. and for all those concerned citizens, this is all about humanity.
- start small stay dedicated. maybe u can start with 3 boycotted brands that u use to buy for 3 months period. and the next 3 months, u add 3 more addition to ur pesonal boycott list.
- palestine issue also needs 'adjuvant therapy' besides boycott - doa/prayer, infaq/charity, invite others to join as well :)

Assalamualaikum
ReplyDeleteMasyaAllah what an effort... Hope Allah will give us strength to do boycott for the sake of our ummah. I've been boycotting since last 3-4 year and will always do insyaAllah. Sometimes I really feel to like to buy and eat some product that in the list because it taste sooooo good, even though not healthy (I'm normal human though). But there is always one thing becomes a motivation for me.... is a dua.. "Ya Allah please replace this (boycott stuff especially food) with the food from heaven, when I'm there". InsyaAllah we can do this.. it is the time Muslim and halal product to shine. Let's do it both.. boycotting and support our Muslim product ^_^.
yuk bersusah-susah untuk saudara kita..
