All good Muslim personals respect the rules of decency and morality, and that’s because the people that they are adressed to are mostly religious Muslims. Since the western society allows people to do almost everything they want, sometimes we see great exageration. But this is not the case in the Muslim world, because people prefer not to do anything that goes outside the teachings of the Koran. That’s why the people who own Muslim personals build them as decent sites.
Just try to compare a Muslim matrimonial site with another one that is made by people from other cultures. Even the first pages will show a big difference, because the reason why people search for Muslim personals is that they want to find someone to marry, while the other sites are also for persons who want to date and do whatever they want. After they finish with one person, they can switch to another, and they can go on and on with this. Well, this is haram (forbidden) in a Muslim society, because it goes against the guidelines that The Prophet preached about, many years ago.
It’s known that the union between a man and a woman is sacred, so people are wrong when they play with this sort of thing. Dating duzins of persons by using such a site is not a thing that Muslims should do, if they are true to their religion. And this fact should persist, in spite of the growing western influence over the Muslim society. That’s why, at least with Muslim matrimonials, people that belong to other customs and beliefs should not be even interested to sign up.
It’s the allmighty Allah Himself who encourages humans to marry, so the union between man and woman is considered sacred. It’s quite rude for a person to make fun of this bond, through his or her actions. And good Muslims should never use these sites in order to meet hundreds of people and party away. However, young people are impressionable and this includes young Muslims, so every young person registered is reccommended to have a guardian close by to show them the right way, and keep them away from temptation.
Young Muslims that are searching for their match should be careful about some sites that offer Muslim dating, but instead they are filled with users that don’t have anything to do with Islam. Here is an example of what a guardian can do to help, guiding the young man (woman) to find a decent site, as a first step.
When somebody accesses a personal related to Islamic marriage, their families should be asked to give their contribution, at least by checking the background of the person they have picked. Most sites related to Muslim personals don’t require payment for registering. Of course, they too need need some money for promotion and maintenance, but that problem is solved by the introduction of the status of premium users (which pay to get more exposure to other profiles and users).
Personals for Muslims are available across the world, for all Muslim cultures. It appeared in all Eastern cultures too, and it had great success. Of course Muslims from different countries may unite on the internet, as long as they put honesty in the first place and don’t attempt to fool others.
In the words of The Prophet: “One who cares for the widow and the needy is like the one who prays all night and fasts all day”. That’s the reason why we can also see exclusive Muslim personals related to matrimonial sites for widows and widowers.
Maybe those above are reasons enough to say that Muslim personals do not resemble in any way to the other types of matrimonials, because Muslims put faith and the Islamic guidelines ahead of anything else, even when we are talking about the virtual world of the internet. |
