By John Collins


Sharing your life with someone you love and cherish brings happiness and joy to your life. In Islam marriage is viewed as an act of faith. However, for many single Muslims, it is a hard task to find someone who can support you in fulfilling this purpose. This is because of obvious reasons like few people of the opposite sex. Here are few things to help in finding a partner.

Show respect. Be a respectful person. Let it be seen in how you respond, interrupt and listen to your partner talk. Do not despise someone even when you know for sure they are not your type. If you are meeting with them, be lively in every conversation and get to know them. Compliment on their looks and dressing if possible. Make them feel good about themselves.

Get out and mingle with your age mates. Put yourself out there, with the modesty of course. Get involved in activities where people of different sexes are involved. Meet new people, be open to those engaging you in conversations. Do not be too strict and serious. Laugh at jokes and take every moment lightly. Maybe your spouse is waiting for you out there, and they could be watching.

Do not lose hope. Have patience, practice it as much as you can. Avoid being haste in making your decisions. Being patient as they say pays. At times things might get tough for you. Do not despair have faith and hold on. As long as you are searching, you definitely will find the right person for you. Someone who will love and support you.

Do not do it alone. Getting help from someone else on such matters of marriage is inevitable. Mostly involve your parents in your quest. Let them know your intentions and the type of person you are looking for. They might drop a few clues for you to look into, which will go a long way in helping you find a partner.

Online dating. There are so many sites to choose from online. This is a good platform since most of the people there are also seeking for partners. Find those supporting Muslim dating. Be active on the site and have a presentable profile. Remember this helps you get into contact with potential partners. Avoid committing before engaging in meeting with the person physically.

Get a trusted chaperone. A chaperone in Islam is someone who moderates meetings between two people of the opposite sex. This has to be someone you trust completely. Their main role is to sit through the meetings to ensure that you do not get involved sinfully with your potential partner by being tempted by Satan which happens quite easily. Given both of you are attracted to each other.

Given the importance of marriage, singles should be strong and aggressive in their pursuit of a marriage partner. By following the advice above they can go a long way in getting themselves a partner for life. Remember it is important to be prepared for marriage mentally even as you go about seeking for a partner. Marriage is no joke, and it requires someone who is prepared and is well aware of what they are getting into. Pray to Allah for strength and guidance.
