Tis the season to be jolly...for the western world at least.

info@singlemuslim.co.za — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 22:00:00 +0100

Even though Muslims all over the world do not celebrate the holy days of the festive season, most of us are at home on vacation. Some of us get caught up in the shopping rush and entertainment and getting together of family and friends. The festive season in the west can be a jolly time for some, but sadly, it can be the loneliest time of the year for singles.
Unless you have a big circle of friends or you were blessed with a huge extended family, you are going to spend the season alone. If you [...]

[Cape] Muslim Women in the History of Cape Town

Muslim Women in the History of Cape Town Wednesday, 04 August 2010 21:13 Late Dr Achmat Davids

The role of women in history and their contribution to nations, societies and communities seems to be a theme greatly neglected in the records of history. True to the gender bias displayed in its morphological structure, the term "history" depicts essentially the story of males. It is "his" stories which are important. Men are the dominant chara [...]

When meeting someone

info@singlemuslim.co.za — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:00:00 +0100

When you meet, don't be alone

Umar related that Rasulullah said: "Whenever a man is alone with a woman the Shaytan makes a third" (Tirmidhi).

Also, Ibn Abbas related that Rasulullah said: "Not one of you should meet a woman alone unless she is accompanied by a relative within the prohibited degrees" (Bukhari, Muslim).

Meeting alone, in the hotel room of one or the other potential spouse for example, is forbidden.

The two cannot be in a situation where no one else can see or hear the [...]

MARRIAGE

info@singlemuslim.co.za — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:00:00 +0100

Get someone to help

Marriage is not something to throw yourself into all by yourself. Getting the help of someone, especially parents, relatives, an Imam, and/or respected and trustworthy members of the Muslim community to either look for the right spouse and initiate and participate in a communication process is very important.

In fact, even some non-Muslims have come to see this as a more viable way of meeting someone instead of getting involved in the disappointing dating game or pickin [...]

1. Ask Yourself: Why am I getting married?

'Because all my friends are' is not a legitimate reason.This is a good question to ask even if you are meeting the person to make a final decision because it will be a reminder about the real purpose of marriage from an Islamic perspective.

Marriage from an Islamic perspective, is part of faith and it is part of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

As well, "my intention should be I am looking for someone with whom I will bu [...]

Responde sil vous plait

info@singlemuslim.co.za — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:00:00 +0100

How many people know what these words mean in English? If you are still clueless, then it means that you have to respond to an invitation. If you still don’t get it, let the people know whether you are coming or not. The importance of this response is so that the person who is organizing the event needs to know exactly how many people to cater for or for seating arrangements.
When the invitation says RSVP, it means that you have to let them know well in advance whether or not you will be [...]

Muslims seeking on wrong website

Why are there so many young people looking for someone to love and marry on the Internet? They are found on just about every website. Amongst the most popular are Facebook, Twitter and Gumtree. Recently I have researched two other websites namely Zoosk and Woome. The idea was to find out how many Muslims were registered here. The question is: ‘Why do Muslims seek other Muslims on a non-Muslim website?’ What do they wish to achieve with [...]

Abusive Relationships

info@singlemuslim.co.za — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:00:00 +0100

The worst relationship that you can find yourself in is most definitely an abusive relationship. Only you know how and when it all started. What you probably don’t know is how and when to end it. If you are being physically abused then you should have left or done something about it the first time it happened.

Now if you have been in this abusive relationship for a very long time, you probably have become so used to it and you have reached the stage of learned helplessness. At this stage o [...]

Al Widaa Ramadan

info@singlemuslim.co.za — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:00:00 +0100

We have sadly come to the last week of Ramadan. Everyone went into it with a positive mindset. This year it was going to be different. We were going to make more salaah, read more quran, give more charity, be more forgiving, more patient, spend more time with the family and generally get our dunjah and aaghierah affairs in order. If you have accomplished that then you would be entering the next phase a positive being with a good plan for your future inshallah.

Maybe some of us have been [...]

Matching by Criteria

We try to match all our clients by the list of criteria supplied in the profile. However, some members have a simple list to match the simplicity of their characters, and others alas, have made life so complicated with the lengthy list of musts and musts not. One wonders how these strict rules are working for them in real life. It's always exciting for me when a match of criteria is found and the clients are informed expeditiously. Alas, one of the client [...]
