May Allah bless you bro Almir Colan ... Your job is needed sooooo much for the muslims to enlight them about being productive communities , not only dummy consumers ....
Thank you brother Almir for sharing your Wisdom and insight ,which is much needed in many of the Muslim countries. As someone who comes from one of the Gulf Arab countries, a region where I am generally familiar with, I am also delighted to notice based upon my interactions with decision makers, government officials, Industrialists business people who are knowledgeable in the matter ,that apart from Turkey that you mentioned, Arab Gulf countries including one where I come from, due to geopolitical reasons , the Covid pandemic, climate change etc, are actually actively investing in the important things that you are talking about, but these types of information are generally not being reported by International media , also because people here prefer to do things quietly until the project's become successful. One of the main challenges at least for our Gulf region has been the harsh desert climate and the unsuitable soil which has been not been conducive for example for large scale farming and raising sheeps cattles in Industrial capacity, as that would have been very expensive, hence for at least the past 4 or 5 decades,it was cheaper to import most of the Halal meat that you mentioned about. However apart from the earlier reasons that I mentioned, some favourable conditions are also taking place , such as a lot of government support, as well as some of our countries are experiencing more frequent rainfall, which was even not the case five years ago (possibly due to climate change), new advancements in farming and animal breeding technologies making it cheaper to produce large scale locally over time( actually some relatively small quantity of Halal meat are already produced locally in most of the Gulf countries. There are numerous started ups (including hi-tech) of local University students funded by their respective governments across the Gulf Arab countries that I am aware of, such EV(Electric Vehicle Production locally , Bus production locally, hi-tech water metering systems, new technology of solar panels manufacturing and many others . I am cautiously hopeful that some positive results will come out from aforementioned investments from some of our Gulf regional countries including my own in the the next ten or twenty years and into foreseeable future, for all to see and hopefully that will inspire more Muslim countries across different regions to do the same InshaAllah. May Allah reward all your good deeds brother Almir.
With the asking for the virtue of being first from Allah SWT and by adding to this inspiring talk, why not saying Bismillah and initiating a brainstorming here or on another platform on the way to bring forward one single product, only one single product that is created by our hands and ideas? Why not just giving it a try? Such prototype will definitely be an example for the rest to follow. Evidently, we are a bunch of people following these lectures and willing the dreams come true. All of us have various potentials and expertises. It is quite obvious that the only problem is coming together in an environment where the ground and the rights of all parties are secured. I ask and believe as a trustworthy and experienced figure Ustadh Almir Colan can satisfy this and be a leader that is required for such initiative. I pledge allegiance to you for such initiative and am here if I'm needed with my education in Arabic, BA, Political Economy and Islamic Economics and experience in aviation, e-commerce and entrepreneurship.
King Faisal of SA was offered by Kissinger a mind boggling deal. Wheat from the UK for cheaper than the ones produced in SA itself. How's that even possible? India you might say... But really, they wanted to make SA depended on them for basic living needs. King Faisal refused.
At 16:39 you talk about Top 5 Halal meat exporters are not Muslim countries... South Africa supplies Saudi Arabia with meat since the beginning of BRICS alliance this year. I am happy about it, but still hope that it would be the other way around. I'm a South African Muslim who loves both countries, BTW.
I agree with you at the individual level however at the country level the all Muslims would need to revisit the nation state concepts because many of the Muslims nation states are failed states by design from the west
