Q: I would like some assistance in how to explain to non muslims about the differences between the western system of business and finance and the islamic system. I know the main difference is that islam does not permit/allow dealing in interest in any way. The thing is that these kaafirs rely on Jewish economists who use fancy, complicated terms to "prove" their theories etc..
These guys who I speak to, say that this is the way it is and if we want to be successful then we have play the game intelligently. I keep telling them that there is an alternative but I dont know how to present it to them in a simple way.
normal muslims like me will just tell them that "Allah ta'ala says... in the Quran & our prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said ..." this is not going to make sense to them or satisfy them. So, how can I explain to them the differences between the two systems and show clearly the benefits of the Islamic system?

Q: If a person that does buying for a shop (he is not the owner) he guides his children buy this and this for the shop and you add some profit for yourselves and then I will buy it from you for the shop (the children use their own money and then sell it to the shop and they increase the price to make a profit). And if it was not for the children he would have bought it straight from the supplier and no extra money need be paid. Is it permissible for the children to sell to the shop in this manner?
Q: My father is the buyer in the shop
3 reps come:
Rep A offers R 2.00
Rep B offers R3.00
Rep C offers R3.50
Can my father accepts rep A offer although it is his son. In the shop my parents told me 90- 98 % of the time they do not send people to go and buy. They get their goods from reps who deliver. So by selling to them I am the cheapest rep (where I buy from is cheaper, they know of this place, but they do not buy in that manner 90-98% of the time). So now what I am doing is it permissible?
