Muxlim Launches Muxlim Pal, The Virtual World For Muslims

Muxlim, the online Muslim social media community service, has just launched the beta version of “Muxlim Pal”, a Muslim oriented virtual world, complete with its own currency and culture, pretty similar in principle to Second Life.

Muxlim users can now login to the new “Pal” service, and get their personal avatars, called Pals, for this virtual world. First users will also get some free coins to get started with.

Each user gets their own room, that they can decorate and personalize with furniture and gifts, that are already there by default or that they can add from their inventory. These personal rooms are also the place where users can change their Pal’s appearance, by clicking on the wardrobe to change their clothing and accessories, or clicking on their Pal to change their hair, skin and other features.
Pals also get to pray in their own personal rooms.

Getting around in Pal is pretty easy; A red “Navigation” button enables users to visit different parts of the world; and once there, just clicking on the ground is enough to move the Pal from place to place. Clicking on people will tell you who they are. Users can chat and get to know each other through the built-in chat system. The Mosque Social Yard, one of the areas in this virual world, seems like a good place for people to meet. 

One of the places in the virtual world is the Mall, where users can to go shopping for new clothes for their Pal, buy furniture for their room, and get gifts for friends you make in the virtual world.  

A green “Wallet” button shows how many coins your Pal has. These coins can be bought from the website for use in the virtual world.

A bronze “Inventory” button displays all the gifts and items that belong to your Pal, and that haven’t been placed in your personal room.

Muxlim Pal is meant to create an open community for Muslims and non-Muslims alike, enabling people from all over the world to explore Muslim culture. And while there will be religious spaces, Muxlim Pal isn’t really designed to be a religious platform, it will be open to people who are religious and not religious.
