Is Making Money From Blogging sin (Haram)?

Image
 Is Making Money From Blogging Sin(Haram). So I was going through my inbox a few days back, and came across a very unusual question - the kind people don't usually worry about. A dear follower asked whether  earning money online  (through blogging etc.) was haram (prohibited is Islam) or not. The question has so many implications that we decided to make a blog post about it, since it not only applies to our Muslim fellows, but to our brethren in the whole blogging community, since it's a question of blogging ethics, and not just religion. Note : For the record, let me just say that I do not claim to be a religious scholar. But having some domain knowledge, we'll try to discuss some issues majorly related to ethics and morality, and not very specific to a religion. Anyone can benefit from reading this post, as it applies to the blogging community as a whole. OK, so moving on. A lot of people don't think twice about such issues, but ap...

One you pick your new URL, your subscribers will be automatically redirected if they try to get to your account via the old URL. Be careful, because once you change your URL on...

Looks like the new year is near! Out of the premium sets of design resources in our repository, we often share one of them as a freebie when the occasion is precious. There are many creative premium widgets, tools and plugins that we managed to develop this month for our regular clients and out of these I will be sharing just two such resources as a new year gift. They are: (1)  Blogger Notification bar  widget that you can see live on our blog at the top and (2) a Blogger Template entitled   "Salahuddin Ayubi"  which is far better than any of the templates we designed so far and makes us really jealous when we compare it to our current design of MBT blog itself! UPDATE:  Blogger Notification Bar with cookies is available now! Copyright Bloggers and developers are hereby advised not to sell or redistribute the widget codes. You are also instructed not to remove MBT's watermark from the notification bar. Removing the watermark will break the entire...

      5 Best Custom Blogger Contact Form Widgets In the past, adding a custom contact form for Blogger was quite a complex process, and many bloggers were forced to use third party websites. However, even after  Blogger launched its own contact form gadget , it was still considered as highly inadequate.
