Secure Your Personal Information

You control your experience on NikahNow. While finding a suitable partner for Nikah, be mindful of the personal details you share early on.

Protect your privacy. Be cautious sharing your full name, phone number, email, or home address until you feel comfortable and trust has been established. Avoid including direct personal contact details in your public NikahNow profile description.

Beware of Spam and Scammers

Recognize potential red flags indicating a scammer trying to exploit users on Muslim marriage sites like NikahNow. Be wary of anyone who:

  • Sends messages with links to external websites.
  • Quickly pushes to communicate off the NikahNow platform (WhatsApp, email etc.).
  • Asks for money or financial assistance for any reason.
  • Disappears and reappears with a different profile name.
  • Requests your address claiming to send gifts (a common tactic).

Meeting in Person Safely: Guidelines for UK Users

Meeting offline is a significant step in the halal matchmaking process. Prioritize your online safety transitioning to offline meetings by following these crucial guidelines:

  1. Build Trust Online First: Utilize NikahNow's secure chat to know the person before meeting offline. While we verify profiles, we don't conduct background checks. Exercise caution and do your own research before sharing extensive personal details.
  2. Meet in Public Always: Your first meeting should always be in a busy, public place (like a cafe or restaurant) during daytime hours if possible. Avoid private locations, remote areas, or either person's home.
  3. Inform Someone You Trust: Tell a reliable friend or family member about your plans: who you're meeting, the location, and your expected return time. Keep your phone charged and accessible.
  4. Arrange Your Own Transport: Control your travel to and from the meeting. Drive yourself or use a reputable taxi/ride-share service. Do not accept a ride from the person you are meeting for the first time, even if offered.

Following these NikahNow safety tips helps ensure a secure and respectful environment for all UK Muslims seeking marriage through our platform.
