With limited access due to pandemic or a busy career and life schedules, many Muslims are looking for more options. One of the most common approaches is being explored are Muslim Dating Apps. For a beginner, the world of online dating can be quite overwhelming. Many Muslims also question how permissible these apps are to use and if so, how to use them. While we will leave such decisions to the scholars, in particular, we will say that we don’t feel any particular app is the way to go if we are truly looking to the Qur’an and Sunnah for guidance on how to find the perfect spouse, our method or approach definitely doesn’t begin with apps. While they maybe part of the process, it isn’t and surely where we begin.

For that reason, we will share some information in this article that is merely feedback that many sisters have shared with us in regards to their experiences. (We in no way support or endorse the use of any of these apps).
  1. Salams (formerly known as Salams) – The Best In The Game?

Salams is said to be the number one option for religious individuals looking for a Muslim husband and wife. Tailored just like Tinder, Salams allows people to swipe profiles anonymously. They are only matched when they both show interest. The app has received many positive reviews on Google Play and other popular online platforms.

Let’s Evaluate It

What’s Good About It?

  • Safety or security is supposedly unmatchable on Salams. It only displays your first name and other details you include on your profile. In addition, you can blur out images to prevent unnecessary attention and exposure. This feature is especially eyecatching for hijabi Muslim sisters.
  • It is easy to block any member. So, you can stop them from viewing your profile. Plus, you can avoid any form of harassment by reporting the abuse to authorities. 
  • Salams respects its community members a lot and will never compromise on the safety and comfort of the individuals. 
  • Profiles on the app are verified with a GPS location  and selfie. Therefore, you can be sure that every member is genuine and legit. 
  • All your swipes are anonymous, and members will not be informed unless it’s a match! Moreover, you can choose to leave Salams behind any time of the day without hesitation. Your profile will be deleted, and all conversation records will be erased.

 

Why Should You Hesitate?

  • 80% of the members are men. The female Muslim singles are limited. While females looking for a Muslim husband will be advantageous, might not be the same for other.
  • It’s difficult to specify the family origin of your desired partner. Unfortunately, that means you have to handle the filtering yourself on your own.
  • One significant disadvantage is that some of your decisions will be final. For example, you will not reencounter their profile when you “unmatch” someone.
  • You have to pay to find your ideal partner. If you’re only using the free membership, take advantage of the app’s subscription plans.
  1. Muzmatch – A Tough Competitor

Muzmatch is said to be a solid online dating community for Muslim culture only. However we often find many sisters on this complaint men are not looking to commit and mostly just to talk. We will say though that the app is stylish, convenient, and easy to use. The Muzmatch mobile app, created in 2015 by the UK’s company, blew up the world of online dating platforms. It is possible to sign up on Muzmatch when you are 18. The most significant part of the members is those in their twenties and thirties. Fewer users are 4050 years old. Though you can find some 55+ category users, it will hardly be a successful search result. The app team claims: It is halal, free to use, and fun, be we know that nothing is halal unless the Muslims who choose to use it keep it that way.

Let’s Evaluate It

What’s Good About It?

  • Muzmatch is a legitimate app available for Android and iOS. It is accessible and usable on almost all devices and will not cause you any trouble. 
  • Moreover, it has a pretty friendly and straightforward user interface. The design is beautiful and eyecatching. It has a calming vibe, and you will enjoy surfing through the profile when looking for a Muslim husband and wife. 
  • Muzmatch also requires a photo verification which means the scammers are likely to stay away. Moreover, there is a stringent privacy policy, and you can make choices regarding your images.
  • Gender distribution is pretty equal. According to statistics, 50% of users are men, while 50% are women. And it is the right balance. This way, every member has equal chances to find a match – no matter what gender you are.
  • A notable feature of Muzmatch is its allowance of free video calls between members of a match. Hence, once you find your partner, you can double-check them through a virtual meeting. We do not advise this in any way without a wali present (Texting either for that matter)
Finally, the app provides a lot of search filters free of cost, making exploration a fun journey!

Why Should You Hesitate?

  • The lack of website or desktop variation seems to be a big letdown for the Muzmatch app. Not every individual has access to a premium mobile experience, hence why they rely on Pcs. Unfortunately, this dating app will not be the one for them.
  • The paid experience will be a significant upgrade. In addition, several features that one cannot experience from a standard model will be unlocked. However, this difference in the versions comes at a high cost and might make some users hesitate. 
  • You cannot interact with a profile unless it’s a match. YouTo chat, you need to swipe right on the image and hope they do the same to chat. Many say, wait is quite annoying and nervous. 
  • It is disappointing that you receive a limited number of swipes, even with a paid package. The price for unlimited swipes is exceptionally high, and it leaves you to wonder if it even is worth it. 
  • Muzmatch is supposedly, the biggest and the most famous online dating community for Muslim people. The developers put a lot of effort into upgrading and creating a safe place for people united by one cultural value. 
  • It looks stylish and user-friendly. The safety measurements also deserve some attention: the Muzmatch app is probably one of the safest ones in this category. 
  1. Single Muslim – The Choice Of The West?

  • Single Muslim is a dating platform established by Adeem Younis in 2000, primarily for Muslim singles and Middle East dating. This dating resource can boast 10,000 marriages and its respectful approach toward Muslim traditions and religion.

  1. Muslimah – An Advantage To Our Revert Brother And Sisters

Muslimah was set up in 2006 to fill a need to provide Muslim singles with an introduction to each other. This online dating website caters to Muslims and those thinking of converting to Islam. Muslimah says that it helps provides a safe, secure space for single Muslims to meet each other. Relationship building progresses through messages, live chats, and video calls before real-world meetings occur. The  The bigger issue for us is that reverts who are an unfamiliar with the marriage process are not educated on what is permissible within interactions and what is not.   A detailed profile and matching criteria assist 4.5 million members in searching out compatible life partners from around the globe or in their neighborhoods. The global membership means you meet people with diverse backgrounds and interests.

What’s Good About It?

Why Should You Hesitate?

  • Free membership only allows contact with paid members. To get the maximum benefit, you need to subscribe. However, the site can be expensive if you opt for a short-term subscription and keep renewing it.
  • International membership means your ideal match may live on the other side of the world from you. A long-distance relationship is not every couple’s cup of tea, so you need to be aware of such factors. 
  • All dating websites suffer from fake profiles and bots. Muslima actively deletes dormant accounts and has a robust reporting system for problems.
  • Thousands of profiles mean that you have a vast number of potential partners to contact, and an excess of choice can overwhelm most people. Fortunately, advanced search tools produce a targeted and focused list of prospective dates and are easier to manage.
  • It is hard to meet someone to spend the rest of your life together in marriage. 
  • Contemporary living does not result in many introductions to single people like you through friends and family. Plus, a casual introduction does not mean that person is seeking marriage or shares your faith. 

A bad experience with a personal introduction affects your relationship with family and friends. Yet. It is an affordable and secure option to meet diverse people looking for meaningful relationships.

In conclusion, while we cannot suggest the use of apps or any particular app, we can say that educating yourself on the matter of using Muslim marriage apps in the right way (if you choose to) is of the utmost importance. Understanding the boundaries of interacting with the opposite gender is the difference between starting your potential marriage in a “good or bad beginning”. Please, if you want to take marriage seriously and have no true support, contact us to book a free call to get better clarity and confidence on how to approach one of the most important decision of your life you are not alone.
