As of today, Muslims from all over the world can search the World Wide Web safely without coming across content that might be considered “Haram” according to the Islamic Law.

The search engine, ImHalal.com, only fetches results that are flagged as to be “Halal”. The search engine uses various techniques to determine which results fetched are supposed to be “Halal” or “Haram”. Once a user comes in contact with content of explicit nature, the search engine will return a negative search advice.

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 to enter the search engine market.

Their goal is to become the homepage in all Muslim households. The main product will always be Search but they have got ambitious plans to expand their product line by adding Islamic widgets in the near future.

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.

The site offers a broad range of functions that are developed specifically to increase the users search experience. Besides focusing to be a great Islamic search engine, ImHalal.com also aims to deliver the best search product as well.

For a test, I entered some queries such as Alcohol, Nudity etc and was impressed to see that ImHalal does exactly what it’s supposed to, it blocks the query and warns the user since the results for the query may contain Haram content.

Thats not all! ImHalal even gives you a rating for the searched query if its explicit or contains any sort of Haram content. Moreover, it is able to fetch not only links, but also images and news for any particular query. The search engine uses various techniques to determine which results fetched are supposed to be ‘Halal’ or ‘Haram’.

Now it may not be the best search engine out there but it still comes with a noble purpose. Especially, it can be of great use in Muslim households where the parents are concerned about the types of sites their children visit on the Internet.
