Muslim marriage websites have proliferated in recent years. No longer seen as a social stigma for those unable to find a marriage partner, these sites have become social networking sites and are viewed as perfectly acceptable in today’s times. Success stories can be found on each site, and it’s made to look very easy. But is it? Is putting one’s profile online in the hope that someone with similar interests will find one, a recipe for success. Does widening the net really reel in more fish? Can one click with a person one has never met, and if so, will that compatibility carry over in a real life meeting?
Often on matrimonial sites, the person’s profile is just as important as the picture. But yet, those who don’t make their pictures public, receive little or no response. And for those with great profiles, but whose pictures are deemed unattractive, the response rate is also far less. Does being online build, or destroy one’s self-image?
Is parental involvement important during the process?
We’d love to hear your answers to these questions, and more.

Join IslamOnline.net’s Radio on Sunday, September 13, at 15:00 GMT for a special live broadcast:
“Of what significance is the Masjid in your Life? “
Share your thoughts with IslamOnline’s Radio and Art & Culture page by sending your comments via iolradio@iolteam.com
During the blessed month of Ramadan, mosques are filled with worshipers around the clock. A common scene is the mosque overcrowded with people who usually resort to the neighboring streets or buildings to join the Prayer.
In Ramadan, people go to mosques not only to pray but also to benefit from the services provided there.
For example, some mosques arrange for sessions on and competitions in tajweed (rules of Qur’anic recitation) and hold daily circles to enlighten Muslims about their religious and social duties. Added to these are the usual everyday activities of helping the poor and providing the needy with food.
Take a moment and tell us:
- What is the name of the mosque where you perform your Prayers? And Where is it located?
- Do you attend any cultural or religious gatherings at the mosque? If yes, how can you describe these events?
- How do you evaluate the role of mosques as cultural meeting points in your country?
