Dating apps for Muslims: Swipe Right for Marriage | Al Jazeera World Documentary

Finding a life partner can be very difficult if dating is not an option. Many young Muslims want to avoid arranged marriages but cannot go on dates because they believe it is forbidden.

Now, in some of the most conservative Muslim communities in Britain and the Middle East, traditional matchmaking has entered the digital age.

In this film, we meet Muslims using "halal dating apps", as well as app and platform developers.

In these spaces, clients select their potential partners before they meet them, without crossing religious red lines. Some succeed, others fail, and some oppose the trend altogether. But for some single Muslims, swiping right can be a whole new way of finding love.

Been on the app for years now. Most men aren't ready. They're just lonely. They also have no idea of how to treat women. I'm happy to see some people have found their match. Hopefully one day it'll happen to me. InsyaAllah

[bulanbintang]

Oo Allah... plz help me and another single person to get marriage soon aamiin 🤲🏻

After marriage no one can be independent, we depended on each others. Depending on each others is called the love.

These apps are fraudulent: people are definitely there for all the wrong reasons. Definitely nothing “halal” about those apps unfortunately. I wish this documentary showed “Black Muslim women” perspective because we have it worst. At this point “Allah” definitely have to help us sisters.

I'm married to a Muslim man and is nice his family is very open to me they like me and is nice 'cos I'm a foreigner. i become Muslim now and is good we have different cultures but we get along very well

[sadiagee]

Too much choice where people are getting confused on what they are looking for ! This is the key takeaway from these apps !

[saeedsindhi]

We don't want dating app We do want marriage

[sarabemmira]

Swipe right dating apps, for Muslims?
Don’t think the 2 terms go together

[kishwarsakina]

Personally, i dont trust anyone on social media. So i never use it.

The marriage has been determined by God, there is no need to worry.

In my view, it is not good for men and women to choose their life patterns on dating apps. It's better to know the person you want to marry in person, and it would help you examine his/her personality. But if you met your couple on date apps, you definitely do not have confidence that you can analyze or make a better decision.

How happy i am that i have good parents who care about me and search a good husband for me. Alhamdulillah.

[atharali]

Ya Allah help me in getting married . I don't want to commit Haram and sin.

[hodanyussuf]

All we need is to find practicing Muslim, who is sincere

[owsgtes]

The girl in green hijab is the type of women every man should avoid. She has the audacity to judge and criticize the brothers on the app while complaining that they judge her.

[fatimaaitmalek]

Very interesting video. The comment section could have been better if people were more understanding of each other and their differences, as Allah has created us all different.

[barakabelle]

In Canada, don't have a wali so decided to not date anymore after 2 failed marriages. I am at peace.

[socaman]

Sad to see all the Andrew Tate fans in the comments insulting a Muslim sister.

These are the same guys who will complain of never finding a match lol

[kasifalwanze]

In sha Allah we will get when the right time comes

[leonjacobs]

Islam seems more disciplined than christianity
