Initially I was planning on asking a specific question about the deen but then I realized it would be better for us to have a place to hang out and improve ourselves. I hope we are not bombarded with nonsense from the non believers but it's to be expected at this point with ISIS running shyt. Anyways my question is does anybody know a fellow Muslim that owns a bar? No strip clubs cuz that's too sinful. A bar is pretty much a more profitable corner market store that sells beer. I guess maybe I know houses or cars but the money isn't on the same level as a successful bar.

Yeah I kinda knew the answer. I wanted to have a discussion about the moral dilemma of making great money and then repenting after you've helped your family improve their lives.Salaam akh, it is haram to sell alcohol breh
Serious question, no
The religion was started by a merchant, right? Seems odd that making profit through merchant activity would be a sin. I must be missing something?
Whats funny to me is that extremists like ISIS seem to be more consistent with the Quran than the rest of you

There are plenty of religions that let you play those type of faithless games.
Islam is not one.
Riba/Usury is expressly forbidden. The extortion or exploitation of others.
This means if you know it is wrong to do something (like drink alcohol)... encouraging others to do so for any reason, especially personal gain, is disgusting and dishonorable. You sound real jewish right now if I'm being honest...
I am not Muslim by the way. But I have studied many religions and ideologies in extensive detail along my own path.
Keep your faith, and do not be swayed my material wants.

You would rather it was started by a carpenter? What is your point?
The issue is not with barter, its that he is pushing something harmful onto others.
Also... I wouldn't even say it was started by a merchant. All of the Abrahamic Faiths (Christianity/Islam/Judiasm) stem from the same place and reference one another.

As a fellow muslim I've asked this question several times myself. I know a few muslims who own bars, i know one who owns a nightclub. I still havent got a straight answer only hypocrisy like
It's only haram to drink alcohol, not to sell it
But I drink, smoke herbs, and fornicate so I can't really judge them. We all do wrong things, hopefully our good deeds outweigh the bad on the day of judgment.
