Entrepreneur Hadi Shakuur decided to start a Muslim-friendly version of Airbnb after some friends told him they were having trouble with their accommodation bookings, which were often denied or canceled, and suspected anti-Muslim sentiment from the hosts. And thus, Muzbnb was born — a Muslim friendly version of Airbnb.

In addition to features common on other short-term rental services, the site allows travelers to search for rentals with halal food, alcohol and pork-free homes, and locations to nearby mosques and halal friendly restaurant suggestions.
