Muslima Review

Website: Muslima.com

The Muslim Factor

The first thing that is going to get you about this website is the name. It’s all about Muslims and while it might state that it’s about Muslims searching for Muslims, that doesn’t mean other people can’t sign up for a membership and search.

But be warned, there are some very strict guidelines you will have to follow when embarking into this area.

As a religion, you have to admit, Muslims are getting a bad rap. But like any religion or race, there are the good, the bad and the ugly.

My first thought was that I am not going to see any women decked out in a bikini lazing on a chair by the pool. Or am I? Will all the women be wearing headscarves or burkas?

You have to admit, these are the questions that will probably be going through your mind as you hover over the website URL before clicking.

Following Muslim Law

In countries like Amеrіса аnd the Unіtеd Kіngdоm, the Muѕlіm рорulаtіоn is influenced by thе ѕtуlе оf dаtіng thаt іѕ соmmоn іn thаt culture. This dating ѕіtе ѕtіll, wіth аll thоѕе сhаngеѕ in thе ѕосіеtу, follows and abides bу the Iѕlаmіс law.

Most Muslims strictly mаіntаіn thеіr Iѕlаmіс lаw аnd fаіth. It іѕ mentioned іn thе Hоlу Qur’an thаt Muѕlіmѕ should marry a реrѕоn who bеlоngѕ to ѕаmе rеlіgіоn оr сulturе аѕ thіѕ would mаkе thеm undеrѕtаnd each other bеttеr and lead a hарру lіfе.

Fоr these reasons, Muѕlіma.com hаѕ bесоmе аn іdеаl рlасе fоr Muslims tо mееt their іdеаl partners without gоіng аgаіnѕt thе lаw оf Iѕlаm and thе society. Thе аіm оf this dаtіng site is tо рrоvіdе аn іdеаl еnvіrоnmеnt for thе Muslims thаt bеѕt suits the Islamic society, аѕ mаrrіаgе in Iѕlаm іѕ соnѕіdеrеd аѕ thе grеаtеѕt blеѕѕіng іn a Muѕlіm’ѕ lіfе.

Taking all that into account, let’s go through the registration process and the navigation of the site. Please understand that this site is not for every person and as you go through it you will see why.

Muslima.com

The site is built on the Cupid formula and immediately you can see what a great dating website should look like. It’s attractive, responsive, easy to read. This makes it a likable place to be from the outset.

Registration

The initial registration is very simple and with three answers you are into the site. The first thing you need to do is to supply a photograph. Already the layout of the site is making it a pleasure to register.

The Profile

The filling in of your personal details such as your height and weight, etc is easy. It’s the next section which will cause a problem if you are just on the site for a play.

Your background and cultural values need to be filled out, and while you can lie you can’t avoid answering questions about your religious values, the reading of the Qur’an, your views on polygamy and even whether it’s you filling out the answers.

Serious business! Warning! You cannot move on without stating that you are happy to become a Muslim.

You can’t get away with not putting some information into your profile. You can lie if you want, but the Cupid algorithms do work reasonably well so it’s best to at least be looking at search results that closely match what you are looking for.

The Women

There are certainly a lot of women wearing scarves, but fortunately not too many wearing burkas. For a non-Muslim, it’s hard to get your head around being attracted to a woman who’s only showing her eyes!

The navigation through the search aspects and checking out the women is easy and if you have been on other Cupid based sites you will be familiar with where you click and how you work your way through the site.

One aspect I really like is when you click on the profile thumbnail picture it opens up into a big photo with the arrows to take you through any additional pictures that have been posted. Such a smooth operation to be able to check out the girls.

Next to each profile, you have the little icons that you can click to:

• View profile
• Send a message
• Show interest
• Add as favorite
• Showing whether online or offline

Another aspect that helps your search is the Cupid tags. These are sort of keywords or meta tags, and help to match you with profiles that have used the same word or words.

When you are offline, the website, like all Cupid websites, sends you the daily matches to your email.

Cost

If you are a Muslim or are intending to become one should you find the right match, then a 12-month membership might be a reasonable option. That will cost $13.33 per month. If you just want to stay a month then that will cost $40!

I guess economically speaking, you might as well become a member for 12 months but it all depends on how long you think it will take to find and woo your partner.

It’s all about the maths. If you think 2 months is going to be long enough on the site, then an $80 investment will save you $70 overall.

Membership gives you unlimited communication.

Photographs

The quality of many of the photos remains an issue across many dating websites and even on a good one, like Muslima.com, it’s not that much different.

One wonders that maybe deep down, psychologically the women don’t want to appear too attractive in case they are constantly contacted. Doh! Then why post a profile on a dating site?

The same problem exists as on other sites with women supplying just one photo. Past experience tells me that once you contact one of the ladies, you can then ask for more photos.

Not surprisingly they have hundreds, most of them far more complimentary than the one posted with their dating site profile. Go figure.

Muslima.com Rating

The website is very good – attractive, responsive and well laid out. The best value for money is a 3-month membership.

A negative, of course, is that the site really is restricted to Muslims, but that negative applies generally to guys that think they can catch a Muslim partner. That won’t be so easy.

This dating site was made for Muslims and in that respect, it plays its part well.
