Who you might meet
-
Muslim life in South Africa is not one language, one tradition, or one opinion about marriage. Free members can send the first message, and reading and replying need a plan. Some members want a Muslim partner. Some are writing to see. Put your own practice in ordinary sentences if it matters.
-
Do not plant a quiz in the first message. If a fasting month or a prayer time changes when you can meet, ask. Let them describe their practice. If a fasting month or a prayer time changes when you can meet, ask. Do not deliver a lesson, and do not attach politics as a sorting hat.
-
Say the city. Messages pass through screening. Kindness and a meeting you can leave are the practical parts, not a religious instruction.

Questions
Is there one tradition to follow?
No, language, practice and views on marriage differ. Write to the person; Muslim life in South Africa is not one language, one tradition, or one opinion about marriage. Kindness and a meeting you can leave are the practical parts, not a religious instruction.
Can I send a message free?
Yes, their reply opens on a plan. Write to them first, and a plan can wait. Do not plant a quiz in the first message. Some members want a Muslim partner, and some are writing to see. Say the city, and messages pass through screening.

Say so, or ask; it is a practical detail. Let them describe their practice, and if a fasting month or a prayer time changes when you can meet, ask. Do not deliver a lesson, and do not attach politics as a sorting hat.
How do I handle a rude message?
