🕌 Introduction: Bismillah – Begin With the Right Intention
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
If you’re someone who wants to spread Islamic knowledge online while also creating a halal income stream, this guide is just for you.
This blog post is not just another technical tutorial. It’s written in simple, heartfelt, and relatable language so you can connect with every word, understand every step clearly, and feel confident that you can do it too.
Whether you’re a student, housewife, teacher, or working professional – if you’ve been wondering “How can I start an Islamic blog that actually makes money?” – your answer is right here.
So let’s begin this beautiful journey together – one human-to-human step at a time. 🌱
✅ Step 1: Set Your Intention – Niyyah is Everything
Before anything else, take a moment. Sit quietly. And ask yourself:
“Why do I want to start this blog?“
If your goal is to just earn money, you might lose motivation quickly.
But if your intention is to spread Islamic knowledge, help others understand the beauty of Deen, and use your writing as a form of sadaqah jariyah — Allah will bless your efforts.
💬 Real Talk:
Even if just one person gets closer to Allah because of your content, your blog will become your source of reward in this life and the hereafter.
🧠 Step 2: Choose a Specific Topic – Don’t Try to Do Everything
“Islam” is a vast ocean. You can’t write about everything — at least not in the beginning.
So choose a niche — a focused topic — that you’re passionate about and can write about regularly.
Qur’an Made Easy – Tafsir in simple words
Islamic Parenting – Raising kids with Deeni values
Muslim Women Empowerment – Hijab, modesty, and rights
Islamic Motivation for Youth – Modern problems, Islamic solutions
Productive Muslim Life – Habits, Sunnah routines, goal-setting
Islamic Reminders & Stories – Heart-touching, short, impactful
💡 Choose something that you love, not just what’s trending. This will keep you going long term.
🌐 Step 3: Pick a Memorable Blog Name + Get Hosting
💻 Step 4: Set Up Your Blog – Simple & Clean Design Wins
Now it’s time to create your blog layout.
If you’re using WordPress, install a simple, clean theme. Avoid flashy or loud colors.
Your blog should give a peaceful and readable experience to your visitors.
Must-Have Pages:
Home
About Me – Share your story. Be real. Be relatable.
Blog – Where all your articles live.
Contact – So readers or collaborators can reach you.
Privacy Policy – Required for Google AdSense.
💬 Human Touch Tip: Use your real voice on the blog. Talk like you’re talking to a friend.
✍️ Step 5: Start Writing Powerful, Soulful Content
This is where the real work — and the real reward — begins.
Your articles should not just inform. They should touch the heart, inspire action, and connect the reader to Allah.
Your Content Should Be:
✅ Easy to understand
✅ Emotionally real
✅ Authenticated with Qur’an/Hadith references
✅ Short paragraphs, simple headings
✅ Practical – offer clear takeaways
Sample Blog Titles:
“How to Wake Up for Fajr Consistently – A Realistic Muslim’s Guide”
“10 Sunnahs of the Prophet (PBUH) That Will Transform Your Day”
“A Muslimah’s Guide to Confidence and Modesty in Modern Times”
💡 Use tools like Grammarly + Hemingway Editor to make your writing clean and easy.
🔍 Step 6: Learn Basic SEO – So People Can Find Your Blog
You’ve written a beautiful article. But how will people find it on Google?
That’s where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) comes in.
Simple SEO Tips for Islamic Blogs:
Use your focus keyword (like “Islamic Blog That Actually Makes Money”) in title, intro, and a few times naturally in the post
Write short meta descriptions
Use proper headings (H1, H2, H3)
Name your images with keywords
Add internal links to your other blog posts
Use a free plugin like Rank Math or Yoast SEO
💬 Real Talk: You don’t need to be an SEO expert. Just learn the basics and be consistent.
📲 Step 7: Promote Your Blog on Social Media (Smartly)
Don’t rely only on Google traffic. Build your online presence on platforms where Muslims already hang out.
Start With:
Instagram Reels (Post short Islamic tips, quotes, summaries of blog posts)
Facebook Groups (Share your content in relevant Islamic groups)
Pinterest (Create pins for each blog post – amazing for long-term traffic)
YouTube Shorts (Make short 1-minute reminders)
📌 Tip: Don’t be afraid to show your personality. People connect with real humans, not perfect ones.
💸 Step 8: Monetize Your Blog (Halal Way Only)
Yes – you can earn from your Islamic blog – but only in ways that are ethical, clean, and Shariah-compliant.
Earn money when people view or click on ads shown on your blog.
Avoid placing ads from haram categories (gambling, music, dating, etc.).
Promote Islamic apps, online courses, books, or hijab brands.
When someone buys through your link, you get a small commission.
3. Your Own Products
You can create and sell:
Islamic eBooks
Quran Journals
Deen-focused planners
Kids’ Islamic learning PDFs
Add a “Support This Blog” button via BuyMeACoffee or Razorpay
Your readers may want to support your Dawah work.
💬 Tip: Be open but transparent about your earning methods. Your audience will trust you more.
🧘 Step 9: Be Patient and Consistent – Blogging is a Long-Term Game
The first few weeks might feel slow. Traffic will be low. Money won’t come fast.
But don’t give up.
Just keep writing. Keep learning. Keep improving.
Make du’a. Ask Allah to make it a source of khair and rizq for you.
💬 Real Human Moment:
I still remember when only 4 people read my first blog post.
Today, thousands read it each month – Alhamdulillah.
Your day will come too. Just don’t stop.
💖 Final Thoughts – Your Blog Can Be a Sadqah Jariyah
Every blog post you write has the power to reach hearts, change lives, and bring you reward even after death.
Your words…
Your reminders…
Your sincerity…
It all adds up.
And one day, you’ll look back and say:
“Alhamdulillah I started when I didn’t know how. And now, I help others get closer to Allah every single day.”
