Halalgoogling is an Islamic internet search engine aimed at Muslim users. During the holy month of Ramadan, Halalgoogling is used to block content that is deemed haram by Sharia law. It collects results from other web search engines like Google and Bing and presents only the halal results to its users.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Halalgoogling.com is one of several "religiously-oriented search engines, such as Jewogle, a parody which “celebrates the Jewish contribution to civilization,” and SeekFind.org, a Christian website with content filters that prevent users from accessing pages that attack or denigrate their faith."[10]
