1. There is still a taboo.

“Halal dating- AstafiruAllah!”

There is still a huge taboo around Muslims and dating in general, you say the term ‘halal dating’ and the room goes crazy! Fatwa’s being thrown out left, right and centre.

However, if we are being real we know that Muslims are dating, and doing more for that fact. The reality is we do date, more and more we feel a need to get to know each other for longer periods and more intimately before marriage.

While traditionally you may not even be alone with one another before you marry, now it’s commonly accepted as a ‘haram’ thing that we all do. This doesn’t mean, we don’t try to hide it. Muslim dating being an unsaid secret alone makes it hard to find a Muslim spouse, as we cannot simply approach each other, in places we frequent- the mosque! Or otherwise.

2. We have restrictions.

“It has to be somebody Salafi, or it won’t work”

“It has to be somebody Bengali, or my parents won’t approve”

We have all heard these or similar restrictions. Religion will play a huge role in who you decide to show interest in, factor in cultural preference, or parental influence and you are in a tight spot. Add in attraction, personality, and the rest -and the pool of potential spouses becomes smaller and smaller. If you are restrictive with your preferences, for whatever reason this makes looking for a spouse a harder task. The community let’s face it- is religiously split and still very segregated, with communities sticking together. Finding a spouse in this state of affairs can be tricky.

3. There aren’t many Muslims around.

“I’m the only Muslim in the village”

Some of us live in cities or areas where the Muslim population is zilch, and this makes online dating your only option. Long distance relationships are tough never mind long distance dating. For those of us who are practically the ‘only Muslim in the village’ finding a spouse seems impossible.

4. Finding people who are serious

As I mentioned before, Muslims do date some of us more than others. Finding a Muslim spouse has become a game of sorting the F***boys from the husbands. For the brothers, a game of sorting the ‘Wild hijabi’s’ from the ‘Wife hijabi’s. It’s hard to find people who aren’t just after a quick fling, and it’s only getting more blaze with profiles stating ‘not looking for anything serious’ on Muslim dating apps. The number of people who are serious about getting to know somebody, about looking for a life partner seems, someone to go to Jannah with seems to be dwindling.

5. Why commit.

“Why commit..Have a halal bf/gf”

We have began dating and having long term relationships so much, it has become the ‘haram’ thing we accept. If we admit it, the guilt is slowly fading away. We are slowly but surely no longer seeing the need for a Nilkah, if we are doing Nikah it’s to ‘Halalify’ sex. Simply put, our generation is caught in a Catch 22. We want to get to know each other in-depth before marriage- but the temptation to stay away from sin gets the better of us and there ends up being no commitment at all.

It begs the question has our generation decided it’s better to sin and make no commitment, then have many Nikah’s and divorce?
