How should i approach.....?

[sal12]

Maybe u should send them an anonymous letter. A lot of arabs smoke shisha so they might not think it's a big deal to sell cigarettes but send an anonymous letter. If they carry on selling it then just leave it.

By the way it's brilliant that u care so much and looking out for muslims masha'allah. I wouldn't have the courage to do that but may Allah guide us all.

:salam2: i need all of your inputs brothers and sisters. The masjid we go to has a gas station next to it, the gas station is owned by arab muslims...but in the store, things such as cigaretts are sold in it. i want to inform them how it is haram and how they should not sell those things so that Allah will be pleased with them and so that their business will be successful if they do stop selling that stuff. i want to inform them in an appropriate way which will not offend them nor make them angry. i was about to enter their gas station and say that but however, something my sisters said discouraged me and i hadn't entered the store and said what i wanted to say. i just want to let them know that as muslims we should care for one another and want good for each other. i want the muslims to see their wrong actions and repent to Allah, i want them to be able to run to the masjid and pray in it and to stop selling things that harm others. my question is how shall i do that? i need courage to do it, and i believe i can do it, but i just want to know if i'm being silly and stupid about this whole thing, because as i said i was discouraged because i was laughed at but i still want to continue and inshaAllah tomorrow is another opportunity. JazakaAllah to all who do help me through this. :salam2:

Assalam,

I have no idea where in the world you were from but you should come my state a lot of the gas stations are owned by Arabic or they ether work there. And i never had or have the courage to tell them that it is wrong so i am total supporting you. You should say Assalam Alakium first and ask them how they are than say that you notice that sell this things that are haram and you care about them because they are your brothers in Islam and you are here to advice to. They can ether take or leave and inshallah Allah will reward you for that. It is not stupid but a good thing and don't be discourage and remember i get your back. Good Luck!!!

Make sure you have evidence to back yourself up with.

what i think..

:salam2:

Just let it go. If they are Muslims I'm sure they know what they are doing, and so they have a reason for what they are doing. If it really bothers you, then if I were you I'd just bring it up casually in a conversation with them when I'm buying something from their store. Don't just march in there and start lecturing them, it'll make you seem rude and chances are your message won't get through to them.

letting go is the last thing u should do...
one side of my family drinks and smoke, the other half wears hijab and prays...
who do u think i'll follow?
i never used to pray until bro big bro keep pressuring me to pray with him, i annoyed me at first, but im now grateful...
talk to them and tell them its wrong.. even when i see Muslims smoking (that i dont know) no matter how old they are.. i always go up to them and go "i understnad u want to kill yourself, but why are u killing me too? do u think u look cool, cas i can tell u u look like *!*!*!*!"..
yea maybe dont be as rude as me lol.. but ask them why theyre selling crap and encouraging it when they think its wrong...
if they say they need the money ask them if they gamble, cas that money is haram... if they dont, then encouraging something thats wrong is practically like gambling cas the money is haram...
if they still dont listen, dont buy ANYTHING from them.. and tell people not to buy anything from them...
u dont want to be supporting evil people..

ok i dont know if that made any sense or if it helped u at all but there u go!
a 14 year olds opinion lol!
-God Bless!
