• Endorsed by Amanie Shariah Supervisory Board; in conformity
  with MDEC’s Islamic Digital Economy Mi’yar
• Rolls out a new range of everyday web services that matter

KUALA LUMPUR,
MALAYSIA�- Media OutReach - January
21, 2019 – SalamWeb Technologies MY
Sdn. Bhd. (SalamWeb), an Islamic based Internet suite of services, today
unveiled a digital ecosystem for Muslims around the globe to discover, connect,
and contribute in a free, safe online environment. Inspired by the universal
desire for authentic, positive online experiences, SalamWeb is introducing a
range of connected Internet services including SalamWeb Browser, SalamNews,
SalamChat and SalamSadaqah.  

Endorsed by
Amanie Shariah Supervisory Board, in conformity with Malaysia Digital Economy
Corporation’s (MDEC’s) Islamic Digital Economy Mi’yar, SalamWeb’s products have
been thoughtfully designed to optimize the Islamic way of life. SalamWeb Browser has inbuilt features
such as a Qibla compass, prayer timings and a custom news feed aggregated from
verified news sources. An important feature of the SalamWeb Browser is the
SalamProtect, an advanced content filter that is customized to an individual’s
way of life.

SalamProtect alerts users on
inappropriate content, allowing them an option to either continue ahead or
withdraw from the content. This includes content which could be potentially
explicit, offensive or fraudulent. SalamProtect also allows users to assign a SalamTag to a website – appropriate,
neutral or inappropriate. Each SalamTag received is reviewed against our
internal process and guidelines to ensure fairness. The
more webpages a user SalamTags, the better SalamWeb’s content aggregator works.
Through this feature, we deliver curated content that matches your SalamTags. By
involving the community to tag content they deem appropriate or inappropriate,
SalamProtect not only allow users to be in complete control of their online
experience but helps build a safer and secure like-minded digital Ummah.

Another
important feature is SalamSadaqah
which incorporates the Islamic practice of Sadaqah (voluntary charity) to the
Internet browsing experience. To encourage the community to be part of the
SalamWeb experience, each web search or content report made by users, will be
matched to a donation amount made by SalamWeb. With SalamSadaqah, users can
convert their everyday Internet experience to a charitable cause.

Speaking at the
launch ceremony, Puan Hajjah Hasni
Zarina, Managing Director of Salam Web Technologies MY Sdn. Bhd., said “Our
mission is to give people the power to build a digital Ummah and bring the
world closer together. SalamWeb aims to empower the global Muslim and help them
lead a digital life which is consistent with their values and beliefs. We
strongly believe in the power of the community and with our products, users
have the choice to browse content that matters the most to them and have an
online experience that is customized for their way of life. We work with both
local and global partners to ensure our products are in line with Islamic
values while also embracing the lifestyle of modern Muslims.”

The launch of
SalamWeb was attended by local and global industry thought leaders, influencers
and keynote speaker of notable Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dr. Mohamed Ali Elgari,
an advisor to several Islamic financial institutions throughout the world and
is also on the Shariah board of the Dow Jones Islamic index. Along with Puan
Hajjah Hasni Zarina, Managing Director of Salam Web Technologies MY Sdn. Bhd.,
Datuk Dr. Mohd Daud Bakar, Chairman of Amanie Group, Norhizam bin Abdul Kadir,

Norhizam Abdul Kadir, Vice President,
Growth Ecosystem Development of Malaysian Digital Economy (MDEC) commented:
“Internet and mobile phones have become pervasive in day to day life with
Malaysians spending much of their time online — be it for entertainment,
business or education. The launch of this new suite of services is aligned with
the Government’s spirit of inspiring an Islamic digital ecosystem, one that
fosters the positive sharing of Islamic values. This will help play a part in
