About Us Matrimonial Service

 

"And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find quiet of mind in them and He put between you love and compassion" (30:21)

“O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one’s chastity.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5065)and Muslim (1400).

Ibn Mas’u d, may Allah be pleased with said, “Even if only ten days of my life remained, I would still get married because I would not like to meet Allah unmarried.”He also said, “Seek wealth through marriage in conformity with the words of Allah”

‘If they are poor Allah will enrich them from His overflowing favour”’ (Surah an Noor: Ayah 32)”.

We are trying to encourage the young generation of today to start in the right way inshallah. Islamic Matrimonial sites are growing in numbers too, but they are accessible to everyone, genuine or not, with good or bad intentions, which makes them risky to use.

A man is happier when he has a wife and a woman happier when she has a husband and together, man and wife are stronger financially, socially, and spiritually; but how do you find the right mate in an increasingly Westernized world?

The aim of this project is to act like a bridge for single Muslims who are finding it difficult to meet a spouse in a halal environment, those who do not wish to join open marriage and go to open marriage events. The project has had months of thought and hard work put into it, in order to create a matrimonial service that complies very well with the Quran and Sunna. Our aim is to help steer the youth back to the right path when seeking a spouse and in general. This project encourages men to approach sisters in a halal way through the Wali first. It will solve many problems that are derived from fitna inshaAllah when being able to freely communicate with the brother/sister without consulting her Wali first.

 

Afaf is an independent project. It is a genuine service where one fills out a detailed form online and pays a one-off registration fee, which then enables you to view members profiles. Part of the fee, besides going towards the administration panel, goes towards charity inshallah. This project was being run from Regents Park Mosque before but has now been launched online due to no funding received for it. It runs in the same way, but registrations are now taken via email, which makes it easier for those who don't live in London. Applicants must be permanent/long term UK residents to register and one cannot register directly online. We check first the applicant fits the registration criteria before registering them.

We aim to build a reputation for our service's integrity and uniqueness. Our friendly staff will always be there to help you and to offer support inshallah. It is a strictly Islamic service complying with the sunnah of our Prophet (pbuh), striving to help you find a suitable partner for life, inshallah. We are trying to help reduce the numbers of divorces, encourage education on married life according to the Quran and sunna and all the other aspects relating to it and to provide a safe and confidential venue to help young sisters especially get married, as we know how difficult it can be.

By getting married, you will be protecting yourself, lowering your gaze and closing the door to one of the greatest means by which the shaytaan deceives people. You may not feel the seriousness of that now, but fitnah may come from places a person does not realize, so you should be keen to close the door before it is opened.

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (20/421): What is required is to hasten to get married, and no young man or young woman should delay marriage for the sake of studies and work, because marriage does not prevent any such thing. It is possible for a young man to get married in order to protect his religious commitment and morals, and enable him to lower his gaze. Marriage serves many purposes, especially in this day and age. Because delaying it is harmful for both young women and young men, every young man and every young woman should hasten to get married if there is a man who is compatible with the woman, and if a man can find the right woman.
