Is YouTube income halal ??

Is YouTube income through ad revenue halal? I wanted to help my family and set up a while YouTube account and poured my blood sweat and tears into it and finally got somewhere until everyone online said that if I get monetized the money I'll get from ads will be haram ki kamai because ads may contain a non hijabi girl and music in background

I guess there's no way to work around this ngl it hurts to the bone and idk why deen is being so difficult for me these days.

I Just Found Out My Khala Wanted to Adopt Me!

155 Upvotes

So, on the second day of Eid, I attended a family gathering, and as usual, we cousins received Eidi from the elders. One of my khala (who is younger than my mother) gave everyone Eidi 5,000 rupees each. But when she handed mine, I was shocked ,it was 10,000 rupees!

I was surprised but remembered that last Eid, she had given me 8,000 rupees as Eidi, so this wasn't entirely new. She gave it to me in a special envelope, making sure no one else noticed. I didn’t tell anyone except my mom. When I asked my khala about it, she just smiled and said, "Enjoy your Eidi and spend it on good things. This is my wonderful gift to you."

Fast forward to today, I told my mom about it, expecting a casual response, but instead, she dropped an absolute bombshell on me. She said, "You should have returned some amount." I was confused, but then she told me something shocking, my khala literally sees me as her son.

Naturally, I asked, "Why?" And that’s when my mom revealed something I had never known before:

When I was born, just one month after my birth, my khala wanted to adopt me. At that time, she had no children and deeply wished for a son. She actually asked my mother for me. Of course, my mom didn’t give me away, but my khala always kept that deep emotional connection with me. Now she has two daughters, but apparently, she still has a soft spot for me.

I was completely bamboozled after hearing this! All these years, I never knew she had such a strong attachment to me. Now her special treatment and the extra Eidi make a lot more sense.

Life is truly full of unexpected surprises!

Eid is in danger! Muslims, Are We Making a Huge Mistake on Eid?

30 Upvotes

I saw a subreddit where someone asked why we Pakistani Muslims turn our special Eid day into a boring day by sleeping all day. This is a critical point, especially when compared to other religious festivals. So, here’s my opinion on it:

I have also wondered why most people sleep a lot on Eid day (including me). Why do people feel especially sleepy on Eid? The reason is that the night before Eid, or even the day before, is usually full of work and preparations. People stay up late due to various tasks and also because of late-night conversations with family members who have come specially to celebrate Eid together. As a result, Eid day itself feels like a more relaxed day compared to the hectic preparations before it, which is why people tend to sleep more on Eid

What's your openion?
