Start your search here, with these 4 Muslim matchmaking and Islamic marriage sites! BEYOND CHAI Founded in 2015, this matchmaking service for American and Canadian Muslims is based in DC and features a network of Muslim matchmakers, all of whom are in their 30s [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/07/05/for-muslims-looking-to-date-the-trump-era-sparks-interest-in-matchmaking-services/?noredirect=on]. Most of Beyond Chai’s members are young(ish), professional Muslim women and men seeking marriage. Paying members are paired with other paying members, and the matchmakers also recruit matches from places and events in the Muslim community, like conventions and organizations. Becoming a client is easy. First you select which of the 3 membership packages you want, then provide some basic information to register an account on their website. Beyond Chai offers these 3 matchmaking service levels, all of which run for 12 months: When your matchmaker finds compatible Muslim singles, you’ll receive their profiles for review. These are “introductions”, and if there’s mutual interest it becomes one of your matches and you’ll receive their contact information. Unlike many matchmaking services, Beyond Chai does have a refund policy. If you’ve been a paying member for at least 12 months and you haven’t receive any matches, you’ll get 50% of your membership fee back (provided you’ve been using the service proactively). HALF OUR DEEN Launched by comedian/YouTube personality Baba Ali [https://www.facebook.com/ummahfilms/] (AKA Ali Ardekani) in 2011, Half Our Deen is a Muslim matrimonial site that provides a halal dating matchmaking service for Muslim singles. The site is quite private. Only paid members can view profiles, and you can’t view any profiles until your own is complete. You can also choose who can (and can’t) view your profile by setting 'dealbreaker' questions. Only the people who provide your specified "correct" answer can then view your profile. In lieu of human matchmakers, Half Our Deen relies on a matching algorithm and personality tests to select your matches. But they do host members only offline dating events so you can meet and mingle withlocal Islamic singles. Joining this Islamic matrimonial site is $7/month when you commit to a year’s subscription, $13/month for 3 months, or $19 for 1 month. MUSLIMA A matrimony site specifically for Muslims living all over the world, Muslima adheres to Islamic courtship rules. But unlike the other Islamic matrimonial sites in this article, it’s not owned by Muslims. Muslima is one of the many dating sites owned and operated by dating site giant Cupid Media [https://www.cupidmedia.com/our-sites/]. You can create your marriage profile for free, but you’ll want to invest in a paid membership. You can choose between Gold and Platinum, which costs around $11-$34.99/month and $13-$39.99/month respectively. Both membership levels allow you to send and receive unlimited messages, which you can’t do as a free member. Platinum members can also access the translation feature, if you’re interested in a match who speaks a different language. ZAWAJ MATRIMONIALS Launched in 1998, Zawaj Matrimonials is one of the oldest continuously running Muslim matchmaking sites. In addition to marriage profiles, the site also provides news, advice, and content specifically for followers of Islam. Posting a profile is free, but as with Muslima you’ll want to purchase a paid subscription if you want to communicate with any of the Muslim singles who interest you. Free members can only read and reply to messages from paid members. Platinum members are $39.99 for 1 month, $29.99/month for 3 months, or $24.99/month for 6 months.
