Summary & Key Takeaways

  • Coca-Cola ownership and alleged support for Israel: The belief that Coca-Cola is owned by Jews and contributes to the killing of Palestinians is a myth spread by Pepsi to ban Coca-Cola in Arab countries. Even if it were true, trading with non-Muslims does not necessarily mean supporting their actions.

  • Insurance and Riba: Insurance is considered Haram in Islam as it shows a lack of trust in Allah and involves aspects of Riba (interest) and gambling. However, it may be allowed in cases of necessity, such as car insurance in countries where it is legally required.

  • Migration (Hijra) and Mixed Work Environments: Hijra (migration) from non-Muslim countries is a topic of debate among scholars, with some considering it obligatory and others considering it permissible to live as long as one can practice Islam freely. Muslims, both men and women, should avoid mixed work environments as it goes against Islamic principles of gender segregation.

  • Music and Polygamy: Music is considered Haram in Islam, as stated by the Prophet Muhammad. Polygamy is permissible under specific conditions, including the ability to treat wives justly and equitably.
