Gambling Marketing And Religion

[dothebeats]

I know something about Islam in general and this is what we call maisiror taking some money/gain by chance and without effort. Gambling falls under that, and it is considered a sin when it comes to the Islamic law. The one you are pertaining to falls under the a type of maisir known as qimar, which is described to as "receiving money/profit at the expense of others; obtaining money by means of resorting to chance." Be it direct or not, taking money off of advertising gambling sites always falls under qimar, knowing that the services pay you whatever it rakes on upon its users. In a way, faithful Muslims may deem it illegal, but others, I'm not quite sure.

As we know that Gambling is prohibited in certain religions including Islam. If anyone does it, the earned money is not legal and is considered Sin.

But what if someone is promoting a gambling site on social media etc, will the money earned from it be legal provided he will never directly gamble ?

Of course it is not legal, gambling is still gambling no matter what form of gambling we are talking about here. The only thing that is good about cryptocurrency gambling sites is that you are anonymous, so no one will know if you are an Islam or whatever religion you are in, that is why you don't care if the money you are earning are illegal in the real life, but the question here is, could be beat your guilt?

Guilt will prevent you from having a good sleep at night if you really did a bad thing that you don't want to do in the first place. So if you are not into gambling, don't even think about earning money from it.

Well yes, gambling is prohibited in Islam because they believe that it is easy money. What is written in the Qur'an is that in order for you to eat you must work hard for it? But debating on this and arguing is not having sense because we had a different religion and we all respect on what we believe. The luckiest part we can now gamble on the website and hide from who prohibit gambling.

The decision of the religion is final, you can't offer it and ask to change the decision. Which is mean if your regilion has prohibited to gambling then all the part of it will be harmful as well. Either you playing it or even you just promoted the gambling site and the answer will be prohibited.

Yes if your religion don’t allow you to gamble then don’t gamble but it’s ok to gamble in fairly way in my religion as well it’s not allow to gamble but only in case if you were not having chances to lose as there is hard work and risk to invest your money in gambling then it’s ok to gamble but try not to use and wrong way for it.

A pure Islam knows better the do's and dont's in their religion. If gambling is prohibited, then any kind related to gambling like promoting it like you've said as a source of income is not a legal to them. It is like promoting a certain thing that against the religion. An Islam will definitely look for another source of income aside from being a promoter of a gambling site for him/her not to be able to have a sin.

It is something they have to protect what they believe and what they see from the illegalities inside gambling. It have to respect them but it is to sad that some of our Muslim  brothers never follow of what their leaders says, instead the started to create some illegalities. Though not particularly in gambling but in the other area  in order to make money which it is all be the same...

Well,  for me...either it is came from gambling I felt not guilty cause I've doing it legally and fair to everyone.

Agree with you,for someone who really strict in his religion, there are a lot of ways beside gambling and other "illegal" things that he still can do. Although i am muslim, i still not resist if sometime i play gambling too even i know it is a sin. But i have big respect for people who still keep their mind to avoid gambling and another sin. Maybe soon i hope i can change and not gamble anymore.

The fanatic people will avoid playing gambling because it is not right with their heart. I am sure someday you will change your habit, and you will leave gambling forever. As long as you can manage your money and not become addicted, you are good to go, but please remember that you need to know that playing gambling is not a way to make money. I hope that you can give good things in someday especially for your life

They should be all illegal for Muslims I guess. If gambling is banned where you live, I assume promoting it is also illegal.
 You probably should start looking for another kind of signature to promote especially if promoting gambling makes you uncomfortable.
My religion does not forbid it. I searched the Holybook for prohibition before joining this campaign but found nothing. So I don't worry too much.

Any benefits from the prohibited this is a sin I guess but I don't think there is nothing wrong with gambling as long as you are in control of yourself while doing it.

Gambling + money = sin
I never think that gambling is a sin,  it maybe we could only say that if it is run illegally but not all gambling sites like that. Some of us they look it in general having them to think that all just the same.  

Anyway,  we all have different in appreciations towards gambling and yet to push our Muslim brothers to believe what we think about gambling. They'll have it and it is totally prohibited base of what their oldies told then.

So people doing all the good things said in QUARAN?

First, you misspelled it, it should be Quran.
Second, those muslims only, if they are a real believer, they will do the good teachings in the book of Quran.

not right then why they take gambling related things to this much.Even harming someone with harsh words is sin in Quaran I guess!

It's up to individual person because like other religion, there are people who does not follow the teaching of their religion and they do the opposite, some with muslims, their are people who follow the teaching while there are some who didn't and gambling means not following the teaching.

People should stop putting religion in front of everything. If you think it is not something that the holy books say then dont gamble. Simple and no complication thing. If you are addicted you have work it out or seek professional help. Someone who believes in the holy books - written by nothing else than other humans and considers those as words of Almighty, can decide how to redeem themselves.

The fact is that some religious extremists become stubborn and think too much. Its all a personal choice about what people should do and what they can do. Religions try to put our goals in front and makes our lives better in a way. But it is totally your choice whether to follow it gamble your money or not. Those who want to promote let them promote. If something bad will happen to them - who are you to judge that? Causation is not proven by making connections like this without scientific proof.

I don't think here is a good place to find the answer of your question. Personally I don't pay much attention to these things and act however I think it is right. As I read some replies to your post I see people's opinion are very different. Because usually even the people who are of a same religion have different opinions.
If you are a religious person and such things matter to you, should ask from an expert person who is qualified. People here give you different opinions and none of them is 100% right.

Indeed, there are some religions that clearly prohibit all things related to gambling. So not only people who play gambling but they also promote it, just take an example in Islam, if you are a Muslim you surely know about sins of usury and prohibition of anyone involved in usury. So it's same as gambling, it will be a sin for anyone involved in gambling, whether it's promoting, supporting, partners, etc. Maybe that's all I know, I hope you don't ask my religion and why I use this signature.

Well, but most people now prefer to think realistically, regardless of religion. We just see a lot of rampant crime, certainly perpetrators have religion, but they think more realistically than religious. Including a gambler now, they only think about how to get money and will never remember sin.

~]In Islam, gambling is bad so anything related is considered a sin. Also, include promoting a gambling site because they help the owner and attract the attention of other people (no matter his religion) to make sins (play gambling). It doesn't matter if a Muslim doesn't play but if they promote it is still prohibited in his religion.

Are you sure about this? Because, by googling, I can't find anything even close to what you said.

It's not that I personally care much about it, but I'm sure there are people who do, and I think you should provide quotes and links when making such statements. Some people earn their bread by promoting gambling sites, and some of them are religious. Who are you to call them sinners?

I'm not a part of Islam people but I have found an article saying that gamblers and those who drink wine are sinners.

“They ask you [Muhammad] concerning wine and gambling. Say: ‘In them is a great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit.’… Thus does Allah Make clear to you His Signs, in order that you may consider” (Quran 2:219).

“O you who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, dedication of stones, and divination by arrows, are an abomination of Satan's handwork. Eschew such abomination, that you may prosper” (Quran 5:90).

This is not a big deal and no need to argue regarding that matter, we just respect of what Islamic people religious belief and fortunately I'm a Christian and I'm free to gamble either offline or online gambling.

I'm no specialist about the Islam religion but Islam can be easily manipulated to mean a different thing according to the people who lead it.
The ancient text of Islam has greatly described about the alcohol but many believe alcohol is haram by Islam.
Some hardcore Islamist believe music to be a haram.
In real Islam, anything you do with good intent is always a halal. Don't let any other impose over your thoughts.

in Islam there are indeed some religious leader thought that have differences of opinion about it, sometimes haram or halal depending on the intentions of the person, for example when you have good intentions to seek sustenance from marketing gambling to support your family  by your salary there, then the law will turn into halal, that said some leaders. But for gambling is prohibited in Islam because it has a bad influence on the players. but it all goes back to each player who wants to obey it or not

Promoting a gambling business and doing it directly is different. You don't spend money on promoting a gambling site, you just help it to promote their business to have customers and the money you've earned from it came from the owner's budget not in a gambling game. Meanwhile if you gamble directly, you rely on luck to earn money which has a bad effect if you get addicted. I don't know the religion about Islam but maybe it is stated clearly on your bible there.

For me, it depends if the Islam religions still consider promoting gambling sites on any social media is a sin. But like other Christians in our religion dirty money on gambling is also consider as a sin, illegal is illegal in any forms of the law there will be illegal to you or your religion and state, but it is not unlawful to other religion and nation. Also, take note that if you consider that the things that you do are illegal, it's dependently a sin because different people have different belief and laws.

but i think christian will still risk his religion to do unwanted things just because he want it or he badly need it  while other religion such as islam are more modest and are too devoted that they wont do crimes or illegality even for thier own sake  .  

gambling marketing is still related to gambling however its more of a sin if you are decieving people by using false promises just because you wanted to attract more playerss to play on what you are promoting

That's a good question. I live in Russia. Russia is a multinational country and we have adherents of Islam. As far as I know in the Koran it is written that gambling is a fiction of the devil. Alcoholic beverages are also prohibited under the Koran, but many Islamists whom I know can afford to drink under the roof of the house. They say that this is how Allah does not see them. Others, on the other hand, clearly adhere to the rules and do not break them.

So your question is more about a person's personal beliefs.
