Guidelines of Nikah.com
|
| |
Nikah.com is a fun place where single Muslims find their Islamic life partners. It works because our members conduct themselves
with a high degree of integrity, decency, and respect. To show you what we mean by that, we present the official Nikah.com
Member Guidelines. Mostly they're just good common sense, but it helps to lay it all out. |
| |
Before embarking on your match finding adventures, please read this page as well as our Code of Conduct. Thanks!

The Big Six: |
| |
Be Eligible: If you're not searching for a life partner, don't add your profile. |
| |
Be Permitted: If you are a unmarried Muslim brother get your parents / guardian permission first.
If you are a Muslimah get your parents / guardian permission first. |
| |
Be Legal: To be a member, you must be of legal age -- at least 18 years old. Please abide by your local laws. |
| |
Be Nice: Please don't harass, threaten, abuse, or curse at other members. Also, if a member asks you to stop contacting them, please
respect their wishes and move on.
|
| |
Be Smart: Read our online match finder tips and learn from the experiences of others.
|
| |
Be Inquisitive: We don't conduct background checks. Therefore, as with any life partner search situation, try to know as much
about a person as you can before your rendezvous. Do Isthiqara prayer, research, enquire, trust your instincts, and, most
importantly, meet the preferred partner accompanied by your parent / guardian. |

Posting Your Profile |
| |
You don't need to be writers like Ibn Hazm or Abu Tammam, just be a normal person with sincere and honest. Read our profile
writing tips:
|
| |
No Counterfeit Profiles: To ensure that everyone here actually is participating and committed to finding their life partner, we ask
that members do not post profiles for anyone but themselves, unless they are parents / guardians / siblings or have approval from
the concerned person, if the profile is added on behalf of a friend/relative. |
| |
Be Honest: Use your profile to show people what an outstanding person you are. It will pay off in the end when you finally meet
them in person. |
| |
Be descriptive about yourself, family, religious interest, hobbies, likes, dislikes etc. in "About Myself" field. Just a single line
wording "Looking for a partner" or "Contact me" or "later" will not help you to find the right person whom you are looking for.
This kind of profiles will not be approved and also deleted from Nikah.com. |
| |
Be descriptive about the person you are looking for, the qualities that you expect in your life partner, job etc. in About My
Expected Partner field. |
| |
No Names or Contact Information to be given About Myself or About My Partner fields: For your own protection and privacy,
please DO NOT POST (or request that others post): |
| |
 |
Full names |

Posting a Primary Photo |
| |
Profiles with photos get 12 times the clicks of those without photos. Read our photo posting tips: |
| |
You Must Be Clearly Visible: Just one, glorious, in-focus shot of you. You should be alone or with (at most) one other person. No
collages or group shots, please. |
| |
Recent Photos Only: Naturally, your potential love interests want to know what you look like now (or at least within the last few
months). |
| |
Keep It Clean: No nudity, sexually provocative images, or obscene imagery. |
| |
No Distortion: Please don't get fancy with Photoshop™ (or other software) and alter your photo in any way. |

No Contact Info: No names, phone numbers, email addresses, or any of the other personal details we referenced in the posting a
profile area. |

Guidelines For Contacting Members
|
| |
Initiate contact with only those members, who meet your partner search criteria. |
|
Do not initiate contact with any member without fully reading their profile and understand their partner expectation / preferences. |
| |
If your partner preferences and the other member's partner preferences match, do initiate contact, do not wait to be contacted by
others.
|
| |
If a member asks you to stop contacting them, please respect their wishes and move on. |

Guidelines For Responding to Members |
| |
If you received a response from any member, suitable or not suitable, courtesy demands that you notify the other member of your
decision, promptly. Otherwise the other member will be awaiting your response indefinitely. Of course, you yourself would not
like to wait indefinitely in such a situation when you initiate contact with other members. |
| |
If you do not like a member's profile, please don't harass, threaten, abuse, or curse them. |

Login Often |
| |
To ensure higher ranks in search results login regularly. |
| |
Higher ranks in search results will lead to get more responses, the more visible your listing is the more people are likely to express
interest in you and hence greater your chances of finding the right match. |
