- Meeting & Talking (Within Islamic Boundaries)
Islam permits men and women to meet and talk before marriage, but with modesty and respect.
Conversations should focus on core values, future goals, and compatibility.
In-person or video meetings often include a wali (guardian) or chaperone.
No casual dating or physical contact—Islam encourages keeping interactions purposeful.
📌 Salaam Soulmate provides a structured approach to help singles communicate meaningfully while respecting Islamic guidelines.
- Istikhara (Seeking Allah’s Guidance)
Before making a final decision, Muslims are encouraged to pray Salat al-Istikhara, asking Allah for guidance on whether the person is a good match.
📌 Salaam Soulmate often reminds users about the importance of relying on Allah in this process.
- Meeting the Families
In Islam, marriage is not just between two people—it’s the joining of two families.
Families usually meet to discuss values, expectations, and cultural considerations.
A formal proposal (khitbah) can take place, which is a verbal agreement before marriage.
📌 Salaam Soulmate encourages families to be involved while respecting the couple’s personal choice.
- Marriage Contract (Islamic Wedding)
Once both sides agree (Islamic marriage contract) is prepared. It includes:
📜 Mahr (Dowry) – A gift from the groom to the bride, agreed upon in advance.
🕌 Two Witnesses – Required to validate the marriage contract.
💍 Ijab & Qabul (Offer & Acceptance) – The bride and groom formally agree to marry.
📌 Salaam Soulmate often educates users on the importance of the marriage and ensuring it's conducted properly.
💬 "A marriage is not just a contract—it’s a lifelong commitment with Allah as the witness." — SalaamSoulmate
