{ وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ } – الروم 21

"And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.” [30:21]

We are delighted to welcome you to the IAR Mawaddah Matrimonial Registry! This service, provided by the Imam’s Office at your masjid, is designed to assist you in finding a suitable life partner.

Our mission is to support single Muslims—whether never married, divorced, or widowed—on their journey to finding a righteous spouse. Alongside this service, IAR also offers seminars and workshops aimed at personal development, supporting those seeking marriage as well as those who are already married.

We leverage advanced technology, including AI, and have assembled a trusted group of experienced community members to guide the matching process. This ensures a thoughtful and respectful approach to helping you find your potential spouse.

To begin, please complete the attached form thoroughly, providing as much detail as possible. We fully understand the sensitivity of the information you will share, and we are committed to protecting your privacy. All information will be kept confidential and secured with the utmost care.

As you fill out the form, we encourage you to read each question carefully, as some may have multiple parts. We recognize that certain questions may feel sensitive, and we encourage you to share any concerns with us. Our team is available to assist you through the IAR Mawaddah Matrimonial Feedback Form, or you can contact us directly at [email protected].

Please be assured that all communications are strictly confidential and are not judged. There is no risk of exclusion unless misconduct occurs.

While we are committed to facilitating the process, please keep in mind that finding a spouse is ultimately part of Allah's decree (Qadr), and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Matches may occur swiftly, or the process may take some time. Marriage is a significant life decision, and we encourage you to consider all factors carefully.

Once a match is identified, we will reach out to you via email or text to arrange a meeting, either in person at IAR or virtually via Zoom.

Our goal is to support you in finding the best possible match within the guidelines of our program, and we pray that Allah grants you a righteous spouse. Ameen.

We also want to remind you that all respondent data is secured through a privacy infrastructure managed by a contracted software company. Your privacy and security remain our highest priority.

Participation in and registration for Mawaddah Matrimonial Services is completely free for the community, with the understanding that the focus is to entertain the local Triangle Area matches along with anyone else who is willing to consider relocating to the area.

Finally, we are guided by the words of the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “The marriage which produces most blessing is that which involves the least burden.”

Marry for the sake of pleasing Allah, not to meet societal expectations.

Warm regards,

The IAR Mawaddah Matrimonial Services Team
