About Muslim in Manila

A comprehensive directory connecting the Muslim community in Manila with halal-friendly businesses, mosques, and services.

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!

My name is Shiraz. I'm originally from Honolulu, Hawaii and I was born Muslim — but like many, I found my way back to Islam through personal trials. Alhamdulillah, it was in 2020 that my journey toward seeking knowledge truly began, and by 2023, that pursuit intensified.

Now, I'm fully confident that Islam is the truth — spiritually, scientifically, historically, and intellectually.

Background & Business

My background is in tech, and I'm currently building a company here in the Philippines called Mabu.ph, In Sha Allah to help reduce food waste.

Fun fact: Over 600 tons of food are thrown out daily in Manila — that's like 17,000 ensaymadas wasted every single day!

Life in Manila

I live in BGC and usually pray at the Musallah in Market! Market!

For Fajr and Jumuah, you'll sometimes find me at:

Masjid Al-Ikhwa

Blue Mosque in Taguig

Mission & Vision

I created @MusliminManila to document and share the experience of being Muslim in the Philippines — through videos, stories, and reflections — especially for those who are curious about Islam or feel alone in their faith journey.

I love the Philippines and, In Sha Allah, see this as the place where I'll build a family, grow businesses, and continue dawah.

I hope this platform inspires you, teaches you, or simply reminds you that you're not alone.
