Mohamad Baajour – Ustadhs Starbucks Story (Good Assumptions)

			Usually
		

			every
		

			month, I remind myself and I remind my brothers of the three white days to fast
		

			and as a matter of fact, show while is going to be Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and you can combine
the intention with six days of Shabbat inshallah. So Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Monday was first,
second, Monday, eighth, third Monday. 15th. So, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. So one time, around a year
and a half ago, I reminded the brothers that this month, the fasting, let's say it's going to be
Saturday, Sunday Monday.
		

			On Saturday night,
		

			I was at Kroger one hour before Maghrib
		

			I walked in with my cart
		

			to get some groceries. And it turned out one of our beloved young youth just got a job at
		

			Starbucks.
		

			So he saw his chef is very happy so he ran with the tallest coffee and he gave it to me
		

			now
		

			a young man very excited to give you a coffee. You're not going to tell him I'm fasting right? Oh
Zack Allah here. Thank you so much. So I'm working Kroger pushing the cart and holding it all
		

			a huge cup of coffee
		

			whoever see you
		

			faster three days
		

			right? Come on. Because he's in his hand nobody told me I saw with my own eyes
		

			and I kept on holding it all the time. So looking at a Muslim brother to give it to him.
		

			So the point is
		

			maybe stars got sick during the day
		

			and he had to break his fast maybe he traveled in the morning three four hour drive and came back
and he had to break his fast maybe anything
		

			we learned that you give your brother 70 excuses and when you run out of excuses then you say to
yourself maybe there is something I do not know this is how the Muslim thing why am I mentioning all
this
		

			during the festival
		

			a brother passed by one of the vendors and he saw a box of meat outside his
		

			both about outside the vendors booth
		

			took a picture haram meat send it everywhere viral
		

			and some of you here I know them they follow that also Mashallah. Were very quick.
		

			Step forward. No verification, no checking no nothing. Look at this epic a sponsored halal food
business selling haram sponsored by Epic what kind of any oh that language and everybody of course
Mashallah. We are a PhD in adding pepperoni and stuff. So it went to the whole community to hold
Dallas maybe also out of state.
		

			And all it took is just to go to the brother. Brother.
		

			Do you really sell meat that is not slaughtered? That's all it took. Nobody did that. Except when it
came to us. Management we went, brother what's going on? Wallahi
		

			I send my worker to restaurant depot. He picked up the wrong box. I took it and I put it outside in
order not anyone to put any haram meat for the people. So I left it outside your shed. If I want to
sell haram I will put it outside I will hide it.
		

			Picture haram What's wrong with you people? What kind of management is this? Send it to everybody
and everybody who got it forwarded to Allah. No one told me no. Allah told us Yeah, for you. You're
talking about the matter. Let's deal from a team perspective. What did Allah say about this matter?
Verify even if it was a Katherine who did something wrong? Don't spread it right away. Verify check.
		

			What did you benefit from sending this? The brother was so upset because he's very well known in the
Dallas community that He only says
		

			What did you do? What did you benefit? What kind of what did you achieve?
		

			Really, what did you achieve and for the brothers will forward right away without checking anything?
Whatever it is, and especially if it is
		

			Hadith? Be careful Yeah, one Be careful. What what are you rushing to do what?
		

			Check? This is you
		

			brother who's selling the meat, not a enemy of Islam, brother. What's going on here? Double check
it. That's all it took was one minute, you will understand. Even if he's selling, we're not gonna go
into the difference of opinion HalleluYah al Kitab alone, but just double check. Immediately you
spread that the something haram you wrote, you know, how long does it take for anybody here in the
food business? Do you know how long does it take to establish your name? That you're a halal
business guy? And you come for a second send the message without verifying without doing anything.
So please yeah, one please. One month of luck. And it's not even one week. o'clock is
