Muslima.com allows anyone regardless of religion to sign up for their dating site. However, since this site is particularly made for Muslim matrimonies, non-Muslim members must be open to converting to Islam. There is an option to display your religious preferences on your profile. Registration to this dating site is fairly quick and simple—you can sign up through Facebook or fill in the fields of name, email, nominated password, gender, and age. Once you have successfully signed-up, the site will take you to your profile dashboard where you are presented with the list of things you need to accomplish to complete your profile. Profile completion can be tedious, but it is required if you want your profile to be verified and if you want more fitting match suggestions. There are not personality quizzes, but the information and details found on your profile are very specific that it could reveal your personality. You can also indicate in your profile the qualities and characteristics of the person you are looking for.

Making Contact

Free search feature and sending of interests
Matching algorithm based on personal matching criteria
Instant chat messaging function is strictly for paying members
Free members can only message and read messages from users who have a premium membership

There is a chatroom
Free users can only communicate with other users who have a paid membership.

Contacting and messaging users in Muslima.com is a premium feature--both on the website and mobile app. But even as a free member, you are still able to receive messages from anyone. Unfortunately, you won't be able to view the messages sent to you by fellow free members. You only get to see the preview from the inbox. When you click the message, it is blurred and blocked by a pop-up asking you to upgrade your membership. Free members can only successfully contact, send messages, and converse with premium members. This makes it quite a challenge to connect with members and form a friendship.

Muslima.com notifies you either by email, browser, or phone notifications for the messages you receive. You are able to turn this off if you wish to.

Member profiles on Muslima.com can be very informative considering that they fill out all the optional fields. What’s great about Muslima.com is it lets you know how complete your profile is based on the details you provided and photos you’ve uploaded. Your profile includes a profile photo, quick view details, a short paragraph about you that provide, and details about your lifestyle, background, and appearance. It is also listed on your profile the match criteria that you are looking for.

Similar to other dating sites, Muslima.com also has its share of fake profiles. You can determine if a profile is fake or not based on the name they use and the amount of information they provide in their profiles. However, these profiles are not easy to confirm especially if you are a free member. Most fake profiles are also free, therefore, communicating with them is not possible. If you are a premium member and suspect a scammer, it is best to report the profile to Muslima.com’s online support team.

App

Phone notifications for new messages and likes
Scroll down-type member search and match suggestions
Suggestions are not automatically refreshed or updated for each like you send
Not available on iOS

There are no additional features in the mobile app. It features exactly what the website offers. You still need to upgrade your membership to unlock messages from fellow free members, so being a free member, there’s really not much you can do with the app except to send out hearts which signifies that you are interested in the person. Match suggestions in the mobile are also displayed using a scroll-down function, and it does not automatically update or refresh your match suggestions for each heart that you send, unlike most dating apps. As a matter of fact, the app’s match suggestions rarely renew. Similar with the website, you can keep track of the users you are interested in by going to the ‘My Interests’ tab or simply by adding them to your favourites—this can be done for free.

Real Life Review

Using the website solely for exploration, I haven't bothered subscribing to a premium plan. I just wanted to try out if a 26-year old non-Muslim lad could make an account with the website. After I've to go to successfully complete my profile, I went to explore my match suggestions. I've got several profile views, but no messages until maybe after 30 minutes. I tried sending messages to some of my match suggestions but all of them were free members as well so I was unable to view the chat. Both the website and app kept on encouraging me to unlock the message by upgrading my plan. Overall, I couldn’t say that my time with Muslima.com was very good. I was unable to do anything because my membership was free. Maybe if I had paid for a premium plan, I would have a better experience and possibly get me some actual dates.

Design and Usability

The website presents a simple and clean design. The tabs are organised well to provide easy navigation to the site’s spaces. Match suggestions are presented through a list with the profile picture on the left, and basic details on the right. There are 5 actions buttons below the member’s information which allow easy access to the site’s features.

Muslima.com offers two levels of premium membershim—Gold and Premium. Each membership has three types of subscriptions—1 month, 3 months, and 12 months, which are all billed in one payment. If you are looking to have a longtime membership, you get a 50% discount when you sign up for the 12 months subscription.

Without a subscription, the experience you get from the dating site is very limited. A free membership only lets you send an interest and gets you to exchange messages with other users who have a premium subscription. You cannot view the messages you receive from fellow free users, Muslima.com would ask you to upgrade your account. So if you are really looking into finding your one true love through this app, it is best to get a premium subscription. A gold membership would do.

Special Features

Muslima.com doesn’t offer any special features for free members except the ability to view who visited your profile with a timestamp indicated. Free members can also see how long ago each member was last seen online.

For Platinum premium members, this special feature is offered:

Messages Translation

Messages of other members who use a different language can be instantly translated to the language you use. This makes communicating with people from different culture and backgrounds easier.

Editors Conclusion

Overall, it is no doubt that Muslima.com provides a competent platform for Muslim singles to find marriage or people to date. Muslima.com allows its members to tailor their match suggestions based on the preferences they chose in their match criteria edit tab. These will then improve the members displayed on the user’s match suggestions. However, it is highly unlikely to find a good match that will eventually lead to a date without a paid subscription. Chat and messaging features are only limited to people with paying subscriptions. Therefore if you had found a member you want to converse with, that member would only see your messages if one of you is subscribed to a premium membership. Muslima’com’s premium membership truly gives you a full experience of the dating website. A paid membership even has a message translation function, enabling you to speak with anyone across the world without a language barrier. If you are on the search for true love, you might just find it in Muslima.com--many users of the website had found love through their website. Sign up for free today and you'll never know, maybe the person you are looking for is just one click away.
