While Islam does not forbid two people with falling in love with one another, there are a few restrictions and conditions that come with the union of two people. With religious restrictions, it is actually very hard for a Muslim man or woman to look for love in a rather liberal society that people live in. That is why there is an activity that is known as halal dating for the young people.

This term is actually a rather new term but the concept is actually very simple. Its concept is pretty much the same is that of Tinder or Bumble but with more inclination to the religious aspect of relationships in regard to Islamic beliefs. The whole goal of this type of activity is to bring people who can potentially marry each other and not just hook up for a night or go on short term dates.

The thing about Islamic beliefs is that the certain restrictions with regard to relationships consist of sex only after marriage and getting parental consent before dates. This is actually against the usual cultural Western views of relationships wherein sex is rather free and the parties do not need consent from parents. As a Muslim, one may have a hard time finding a partner who can support more conservative beliefs.

Muslim Americans in particular would definitely love this kind of scene because it will help them connect with people they have in common with. With Western Culture predominant in American societies, there are pressures even for Muslims to give in to those cultures and try something that their religion is against. So the easiest way is simply to find another Muslim.

Just like speed dating, this type of platform bridges the gap between people making them be able to meet each other more easily. For Muslims, arranged marriage will not be a thing anymore because this platform already brings people together not only based on religion but also preference. It is a win win for Muslims that are in a liberal society.

Now, the Muslims out there might be asking how this kind of system works. Well, it is as simple as the regular date websites wherein one would create an account and fill up a profile. From there, the website would have some sort of algorithm that would match the two people who have things in common.

From there, the two people will be able to communicate through chat, exchange details, and meet up. The only difference is that the focus will not be so much on the sexual aspect of dates but more on the emotional aspect with regard to religious beliefs. Also, these websites would usually have cool events to further spice things up a bit.

For the Muslims who are studying or working in liberal societies, this type of platform can be extremely helpful. The liberal belief system of most Western cultures would put pressure on Muslims to condone since it is the norm. However, these platforms can be a real help in getting the average Muslim to still enjoy a relationship but without the external pressures.
