Here Is Information On Muslim Matchmaking

By Henry Stone


The fastest growing religion in the world is Islam. Since it was first practiced in the Middle East, the Islamic culture and traditional beliefs have spread all over the world. In the world today, Muslims still hold on to their Islamic traditions and culture. There is tension between different generations on culture but that has not altered the transfer of traditional Islamic practices and beliefs to the current generation. Among those beliefs is Muslim matchmaking.

Identity for Muslims has really become an issue throughout the world due to terrorist activities ongoing around the world. Many of them are afraid to practice their religion in public especially in many Christian countries. What many do not understand is that Islam is much bigger than all these activities. And terror attack is not linked to Islam at all.

The Quran outlines clearly the responsibility of a Muslim. These include the four pillars of the religion which are understanding, faith, transmission, and education. The Quran should act as the main source of reference and Muslims have to remain faithful to it at all times. Islamic culture and traditions have withstood several challenges that present world presents.

In respect to Muslims social institutions such as family and marriage has been dominated by feminist critique. Which has led to apparent unequal role of women in the Muslim society. Though it keeps on changing and evolving due to the westernization culture. In the Islamic law and beliefs, the process of marriage involves finding a spouse for women.

Due to technology, most Muslim youngsters are distancing themselves from this practice making it not to be effective. The youth are disregarding a very important Islamic tradition which can only be understood when one focuses on what the Muslim identity is. A Muslim identity can only be viewed in terms of personal experience and association with different key elements.

One of the most important events in life is marriage and it means a lot which makes a Muslim is no exception. Observing this is important as it shows commitment to their faith. Preparation for marriage is guided by several guidelines. Codes of conduct in terms of interaction and etiquette come into play for men and women who are ready for marriage. Rules guiding those who are already married also exist and have to be observed. Flirting as well as contact between married women and men is prohibited.

A special appointed person oversees the adherence to the two most important rules of marriage. It should be noted that a man and woman are regarded as unrelated before they get married. Interestingly this religion does not recognize dating. Unfortunately, technology has facilitated breaching this as most spouses date on line before marriage. Online dating appears to be the main threat to this law.

Even though it has been tough upholding the rules pertaining to Muslim marriage something positive came out of this. These online platforms are now used to search for life partners as opposed to the traditional method where pictures of husbands would be brought to a woman to choose. Now they can interact with the men and know a bit about them before committing.
