African American Muslim marriage: finding a spouse for nikah.
African American Muslims have a long and proud history in the USA. Finding a spouse who shares your faith and background can still feel hard in a community that is spread across many mosques and cities.
A rich and varied Muslim heritage.
African American Muslims include families who have been Muslim for generations, as well as many who have come to Islam more recently, and they are part of mosques and communities across the USA.
Many people look for a spouse within the community, and many are open to meeting someone from any background who shares their practice and values. Both are fine. Be clear about what matters to you.
Beyond your local mosque.
Introductions through your mosque, family and friends are valuable but can be limited by who is nearby. Zawaj lets you search by practice, background and location, with written proposals instead of swiping and the Chaperone/Wali feature for family or an imam. It is free to join on iOS and Android.
New to Islam?
If you are new to the deen, read the guide for reverts and wali for reverts. Take your time, and involve people you trust.
