New York Times Fashionさんのインスタグラム写真 - (New York Times FashionInstagram)「On a Thursday evening, about 250 Muslims gathered in a halal Italian restaurant in Brooklyn for a singles dating event hosted by Muzz, a Muslim dating app that assists young Muslims in finding “the one.” ‌Topics of conversation included halal Thai food in New York (“Top Thai — we should go check it out,” one person said to another) and the difficulty of meeting new people while working remotely. Muzz was founded in 2011 by Shahzad Younas and has eight million users worldwide, according to the company. “The heart of the app is empowering young Muslims to find a partner in their own right, but doing it in a way that respects their faith, culture, traditions and family,” Younas told The New York Times. He aims to “embrace the quirks around Muslim marriage,” he said, which includes a “sweet spot” of familial involvement. At 7:30 p.m., Younas stood on top of a table in a corner and made a welcome announcement. Women had received a sheet of eight green stickers, and men had received a sheet of eight red stickers. To help make it easier for people to introduce themselves to others, he said, the stickers must be exchanged with people after a conversation — everyone’s goal is “to meet the one,” he said, adding “inshallah,” or God willing. Some people came to meet other people of a similar faith and cultural background. Ali Fall, a 34-year-old financial consultant, said he had always dated non-Muslims, and his exes didn’t understand his religious beliefs and obligations. Coming into the event, he had no expectations. “I believe in destiny, everything is written,” Fall, who lives in Harlem, said. Tap the link in our bio to read the full story by @sadibahasan.
