What Is Muslima?
Muslima.com is an online dating site that aims to connect Muslim women and men and help them find prospective marriage partners. It is one of only a few platforms specifically for halal dating, allowing people who follow Islam to meet and chat. There is an advanced matching algorithm that helps users find their perfect match.
This Muslima review will detail the algorithm and other site features, explain the process of creating and completing a profile, evaluate the quality of the other members, and discuss the pricing. We will also highlight some of the best and worst aspects of the site, mention any safety issues or available features, answer frequently asked questions, and conclude with some final thoughts.
Pros
The Muslima app is available on Android and iOS.
Very safety-conscious (the Muslima team quickly suspends accounts suspected of fraud).
Lots of users.
Cons
Profiles are very detailed (Can take a long time to complete).
Premium can be very expensive.
Users are not shown by proximity (You're shown users worldwide).
Very few dating features.
Login Process
Signing up on the Muslima dating site is quicker and easier than most other online dating sites. Click on 'Join Now' on the homepage to start the process. You can also join with your Google account. You'll be asked for your first name, gender, the gender you're seeking, and your age. You must also enter your email address and create a password to complete the process.
You'll enter the site and immediately encounter a pop-up encouraging you to add a photo for increased attention. You can either upload a picture now or choose to do it later. The final step is verifying your email address, which differs from most dating sites. You'll need to do this manually by following the link to the email verification page located at the top of the homepage. Click 'Verify current email address,' then check your inbox or spam folder for the email that contains the activation link.
If you cannot log in, your account may be suspended due to suspicion of fraud. In that case, you'll need to verify your identity and location before logging in.
Profile Completion
Muslima dating profiles are very detailed and may take longer than usual to complete fully, which is why so few profiles on the site are complete. Most members only fill in a few sections. First, if you haven't done so during registration, you'll be prompted to add between one and five photos of yourself.
Next, you'll complete your profile information. This section includes several questions; you can pick your answers from a list of options. These questions cover all aspects of your appearance, lifestyle, and religious/cultural values. Appearance has standard questions about your height, weight, and ethnicity, among other questions.
Lifestyle questions ask about your eating, drinking, smoking habits, education level, job, income if you have or want kids, etc. Religious/cultural values have questions about the languages you speak, how you became Muslim, how often you read the Qur'an, attend religious services, and how you feel about polygamy, among others. Lastly, you create a profile heading and write a few words about yourself and your ideal Muslim woman or man.
Next, you'll indicate more information about your perfect marriage partner. You can then tick your hobbies and interests from a long list and answer some longer-form questions to show your personality. These include questions like "How would you describe your sense of humor?" or "How adaptive are you to having a partner from a different culture than your own?" And finally, you need to verify your profile to reach 100% completion.
User Account Quality
There appears to be a significant number of Muslim singles on the site, which is generally a positive aspect, as more options are usually better. However, you're matched with users from around the world rather than those nearby, making it challenging to find someone in your vicinity. It's not always practical to relocate internationally for a partner. Some other Muslima reviews mention fake profiles and scammers as significant issues on the site.
Concerningly, only about 50% of the women have pictures. This could be an indication of fake profiles, or it could be related to modesty issues. The male profiles, on the other hand, overwhelmingly have photos. There are very few premium members and even fewer verified users, most of whom are men. Since free members can only communicate with premium users, you'll have limited free account options.
Dating Features
Exclusive Matching Algorithm
The matching algorithm must be on point on a site that aims to connect future spouses. Muslima Cupid has not one but three algorithms to help you find true love. First is the standard match, which is available to free and Gold members. This shows you people who fit what you're looking for, so they're your ideal age, height, etc. The second two are only available to Platinum and Diamond members, and they're called mutual matching and reverse matching.
Mutual matches happen when you both fit into each other's ideal criteria and are, in other words, possibly a perfect match. Finally, you can also see reverse matches. These are people that may not fit your criteria, but you fit theirs. This is a great way to expand your horizons if you're not finding true love within the requirements you thought you wanted.
Advanced Search Filters
Muslima.com has an excellent matching algorithm, but to put it to the best use, it's important to set your personal search parameters. You need to tell the site who your perfect match is so that you can be shown people who fit most or all of your criteria, and that's where the advanced search filters come in.
Here, you can filter your matches according to their last active time, whether they're ID verified (premium only), living close to you or in your country, and many more. You can specify if you have specific interests in making friends or are only looking for marriage. You can even filter Muslima singles based on how strong their Islamic faith is or how often they read the Qur'an.
Hide Profile Picture
If you and your loved ones are particularly strict on modesty, the Muslima.com app allows premium users to hide their profile picture. This is a great way to preserve your modesty and privacy while still getting attention on your dating profile. This form of incognito browsing also allows you to check out other users' profiles without them getting a notification, allowing you to browse quietly.
Make The First Move
The 'Make The First Move' feature is available to Muslim women. This allows you to select a few profiles that interest you and send them a mass message. They'll each get the message in their inbox separately. This is a great way to introduce yourself to several possible Muslima friends and partners at once and start getting to know each other.
Prices & Costs
The Muslima dating app is monetized through ads and three different tiers of premium subscriptions: Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.

Coins

How Safe Is Muslima?
Profile Verification
A great anti-catfish and anti-scammer precaution available on Muslima dating is the profile verification process. You can validate your identity by uploading a picture or a scanned copy of an identification document like your ID card, driver's license, or passport to the site. This is compared to your profile information to ensure that you're being truthful, and if the Muslima team is satisfied, you'll get a green check mark on your profile.
This picture is not added to your profile. It'll only be viewed by the site's team to verify your identity. If your profile gets flagged for any reason, your profile may be suspended and will only be reinstated if you verify your identity in this way.
Your personal information is not considered ‘confidential’
Something alarming in the Terms of Use is clause 4.3, which indicates that any information you submit to the site is treated as non-confidential. This means the site can use your information, including your full name, telephone number, and photos, so long as it complies with their Privacy Statement.
They state that they are doing it for the site, which connects singles; it seems they can share your personal information with others. This is an unusual clause and can be concerning. Be cautious about the information you add to the site. Furthermore, they mention that they may copy your profile to other dating sites owned by the same company, although they will request your permission first, and you can decline.
Final Thoughts
Muslima.com doesn't have any fancy features because it is a serious site – one to find your marriage partner, your true love. So, it sticks to only the essential features, like an intricate matching algorithm and different ways to search through the profiles. To get the best use from the site, take the time to fully complete your profile with information about yourself and go into detail about your ideal partner.
Finding your perfect match if you both have free profiles will be difficult because you won't be able to view each other's messages. There are 3 premium subscriptions available, ranging from relatively inexpensive to very pricy. For a site so overactive in suspending accounts due to suspicion of fraud, there are still some suspicious accounts and not many verified users.
However, the site boasts an impressive dating algorithm that has opened the door to numerous successful dating experiences and relationships. It offers an ideal platform for connecting with Muslim individuals and seeking potential marriage partners. Based on these factors, we confidently give Muslima a rating of 8.1 out of 10, and we recommend giving it a try.
