The First Halal Search Engine Launched

The last few years Muslims have become very active on the Internet
. The lack of tools for Muslims to be able to continue their online activities responsibly has inspired
ImHalal.com to enter the search engine market.

Potential Muslim internet users who might previously have
avoided the internet for some of its less wholesome content, now have a safe option in the new search engine
Imhalal.com.

While internet use has increased steadily in the Middle East and North Africa over the last few of years, many potential users have stayed away due to religious concerns over the content. The search engine will not return results considered harmful, forbidden content, instead it will only show results that are halal, approved, under Muslim religious law.

Sardeha has high hopes and more plans for the future. "In one month's time we hope to add Islamic widgets such as prayer time so that you can easily find out when to pray or when you come to the website you will see a quote from the Qur'an. We are marketing Imhalal as a social homepage for Muslim households" He said.

"Imhalal is not a dictatorial or censorship website, we want people to be able to continue their online search," commented Sardeha.

The search engine uses 'various techniques' to determine which results are Halal (acceptable) or Haraam (forbidden).
