Assalam o Alaikum, my dear YouTube Family! ❤️

I hope and pray that you are all doing well, happy, and healthy.

Today, I wanted to share something personal with you all.

After my most recently uploaded video, I will be sharing just two more videos on this channel.
The first video will be about the food industry in non-Muslim countries, particularly how we, as Muslims, can identify what is Halal and Haram and make informed choices about the food we consume.

The second video will be a special shout-out to a Pakistani YouTuber living in Istanbul. She is doing some really wonderful work, and I genuinely believe she deserves everyone's attention, appreciation, and support.

After these two videos, I have decided not to make any further videos for this channel.
I also want to share something about my YouTube journey. This is my second channel to become eligible for monetization, which means it has reached the stage where I can earn money through YouTube. But, for the record, earning money from YouTube was never my aim or the reason I started making videos.

For the past few months, I have been struggling with a question:

What am I doing? Why am I doing it? And what purpose is it serving in my life?

Somewhere along the way, I stopped finding peace and satisfaction in what I was doing.
I started feeling that making vlogs was becoming more of a responsibility than something I genuinely enjoyed.

And then came another realization, one that has been bothering me more and more with each passing day.

Sometimes, I feel as though I have removed the curtains from the windows of my home, given up my family's privacy, and allowed strangers to look into my personal life and the lives of my children.
I keep asking myself, What kind of work am I doing? Why am I exposing so much of my private life?

And honestly, that feeling slowly turned into guilt.
Especially after one of my previous videos, where I openly admitted that because of filming, planning, and creating content for YouTube, there were times when I was not mentally or physically as present for my children as I should have been.

That realization stayed with me.
As a mother, it is something I cannot simply ignore.

So, to cut a long story short, I am no longer enjoying making vlogs, and I no longer see a meaningful purpose in continuing them.
And Alhamdulillah, I am grateful to Allah that I never started YouTube with the intention of making it my bread and butter. That makes this decision much easier for me.

I have reached a point where my inner peace, my family's privacy, and my presence in my children's lives matter far more to me than views, subscribers, or monetization.

Please don't misunderstand me. I still believe there is so much to discuss, so much knowledge to share, and so many meaningful conversations to have.

And those of you who know me already know one thing about me: I absolutely love talking! 😊
So, perhaps one day, InshaAllah, I will start a new channel where I can simply sit, talk, share my thoughts, discuss meaningful topics, and connect with people without turning my personal life into content.

But for now, I feel it is time to close this chapter of my life.

Thank you to everyone who has watched my videos, supported me, encouraged me, and been part of this journey.

Please remember me and my family in your duas.
May Allah guide us all towards what is best for us, bring peace into our hearts, and help us make decisions that are good for our families and our lives. Ameen. 🤲

With love and duas,
Maliha Arif ❤️


P.S. I still love talking, so don't be surprised if I return someday with a completely different kind of channel — just me, my thoughts, and some meaningful conversations. No vlogging, no unnecessary exposure of my private life. Just conversations from the heart. ❤️

Sorry I haven’t been able to reply to your messages and comments lately. I was a little busy with family.

InshaAllah, my regular routine vlogs will be back on the channel from tomorrow! 🎥✨

Thank you so much for your love, patience, and support. See you all in tomorrow’s vlog! ❤️
