  • Summary

  • Getting married is tough for the vast majority of Muslims in the West. We know because we’ve been there. My (Zaid) journey spanned nearly nine years. It was filled with rejections and self-doubt. While I (Hiba) didn't know there was a journey to be on in the first place. After we got married we decided to create something different to help single Muslims complete their deen. And so our matchmaking service Halal Match was born.

    After a few years of interviewing singles, a friend suggested we journal our stories. We tweaked that idea and turned it into a podcast. In ‘Diary of a Matchmaker’ we’ll take you through this unfamiliar world of matchmaking. We’ll share our stories, experiences, and much more. So say Bismillah and tune in.

    Today we share the heartwarming story of one of our quickest matches, now happily engaged but facing family resistance to an early nikah. This couple's story sheds light on the broader challenges many face when trying to harmonize tradition with faith.

    From the struggle to maintain formal interactions to the family fears surrounding early nikahs, we uncover the emotional and practical implications of delaying this essential Islamic ceremony. We discuss the possible stigmas around pre-wedding pregnancies and how these perceptions, although addressed within Islamic guidelines, continue to influence family decisions. Tune in to gain valuable insights into how to navigate these cultural pressures while staying true to your faith.
