The Shaykh’s talk regarding the Coca-Cola company and that it is obligatory to boycott it for the insulting images it introduced of the Ka'bah and Muslims.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Have you heard what they published in America, the Coca-Cola company?
The student : No, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : They wrote on these metal cans, they published an image and text: "A man praying toward the Ka'bah and in front of him is Coca-Cola, have we reached our goal?" Therefore, I see that if there is still life among the Muslims, meaning if they are still alive: they should boycott it. I swear by Allah, I said this as soon as I started speaking there, without knowing that the Jews are behind this word, if it is confirmed.
The student : And it is not a new thing!

The Shaykh : I do not have knowledge of it, but when I saw this great decline, you hardly see a shop in the valley that is not coming from our pockets...
The student : Buying.

The Shaykh : That is it, so look at what this group did and wrote this phrase.
The student : Shaykh, this was for the companies that are subject to the law of boycott.

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!!
The student : One of them says, "Our Shaykh: Is he wearing a Coca-Cola shirt at the Ka'bah?"
Another student : No, no, they put the Ka'bah on his shirt!

The Shaykh : No, no, this is different, I read the opposite.
The student : The same can, our Shaykh, did they make the Ka'bah on it?

The Shaykh : They pictured a Muslim praying toward the Ka'bah, and in front of the Muslim.
The student : Coca-Cola.
Another student : The sutrah.

The Shaykh: Huh?
The student : The sutrah of the one praying.
Another student : Our Shaykh, in my opinion, there is something more important than this, and even if this matter is very important, because it is related to the matter of creed, but there are also other reasons added to this reason, and this reason was not known or apparent, but the other reasons are known and apparent. As for the first reason: it has also fallen away now due to the continuous connection between the Jews and the Muslims, which is that the money ends up in the pockets of the Jews, and this is one of the methods the Jews follow to steal money from people's pockets. The second reason: it is established that these drinks called carbonated, like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and others, cause harm to the stomach, and this is a certainty. If you ask the doctors about this aspect, the doctors will tell you: yes, especially if these drinks are drunk after the stomach is full of food. Medicine forbids drinking after the stomach is full or after food except after two hours from the end or emptying of a person's food.

The Shaykh : This is generally, meaning water?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, but I think I read or heard, I do not know if it is true: that addiction to drinking these drinks is what causes the harm!
The student : He starts with one and ends with a hundred, our Shaykh, without noticing the time of drinking. Our Shaykh, many people now, very many people, cannot eat unless the bottle is beside them!
Another student : I swear, our Shaykh, a brother was with us in the desert on one of the trips, he started crying in the desert, at the camp of the Library and Umm al-Qura University, he started crying.The student : He says: I do not know how to eat, meaning he sat for two days saying: "Pepsi, I will not eat."

The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : Crying, he is crying, addicted, something strange, until they called the device and brought a car to bring him so he would eat, a car, a car.
Another student : This is if the one who uses narcotics is... and others and others.
The student : Did you hear it, our Shaykh?!
Another student : Of course, I am like an expert in hashish!!! Hahaha.
The student : May Allah protect the Muslims from the consequences of this country.
Another student : The best of you in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance are the best of you in Islam.
The student : No, no, no, I do not mean this at all. The farthest people from using and addiction are the ones who sell to their neighbor, the farthest people, and therefore you will not find, meaning even the one who has experience, he will have experience from the smell itself, not that he uses it himself.
Another student : Everything happens.
The student : I am saying from the aspect of scientific medical experience.
Another student : Your speech is correct, some types, from them, that is it.
The student : Crack, this is the fatal blow, from one sniff, it knocks him down.
