Halalgoogling (search engine)

Halalgoogling was an Islamic internet search engine launched on 9 July 2013 and designed to block content deemed haram by Sharia: it gathered results from other search engines such as Google and Bing and showed its users only the results it considered halal. ¹

Its launch was announced on 7 and 8 July 2013 by Asian News International and in The Express Tribune, The Times of India and India Today; Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty covered it on 11 July 2013 under the headline "Safe Surfing", and the Tajik agency Asia-Plus gave its launch date as 9 July. ¹ Earlier, in February 2011, an Express Tribune blog had written about it under a tongue-in-cheek title. ¹

English Wikipedia says the site appears defunct as of February 2025, without a source for it. ¹ It has articles in five Wikipedia editions, among them Arabic, Bengali and Uzbek. ²
