Muslims in London

Salam

Random thought …the rage bait comments and the few that egg things on, team up together and target one or two people always …it’s like muzz got these people on the pay roll to keep the buzz alive / get it going …would make sense or I’m I just crazy

Hey im new here

Bye see you guys on January first

I met a random person on this app, and honestly, I am completely disappointed. The exact thing I tried to avoid happened all over again. First, it was partly my fault for carelessly agreeing to share my contact info. Second, he was extremely disrespectful even though I told him I was busy working, he suddenly called me via video call (I truly despise people who start a video call without my consent). Third, it was Saturday night, and despite me already telling him, he kept spam-calling me with video calls anyway. Seriously, dealing with my trust issues and fear of scammers, I instantly blocked his account. I'm sorry, but I really hate this. Honestly, I actually love making new friends wherever I go, but this was just so disappointing.
Trust takes time to build. Never let online familiarity rush you into lowering ur boundaries for someone you barely know. Sorry 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Tired of the heart prostrating in the middle of the soul-soothing night

As a revert hijabi, I’m still learning how to navigate everyday interactions with Muslim men, especially in local shops, cafés and takeaways.

I’ve noticed men can interact very differently. Some call me “sister,” some say “dear,” and some don’t use any form of address at all.

Some are also particularly accommodating or attentive while still being completely respectful. For example, if I come in wet from the rain, someone might immediately offer me a tissue to dab my face, make sure I’m comfortable, or just seem noticeably attentive.

Eye contact is probably the part I find most confusing. Sometimes a man will look at me, but the moment I look back, he looks away. Other times there might be a brief second glance, or what seems like a very deliberate effort not to keep looking.

I understand that lowering the gaze is part of Islam, so I’m trying to understand the difference between someone simply practising good adab and someone becoming more conscious of their gaze because they find a woman attractive.

So my question, particularly to people who grew up around Muslim social norms, is: how do you distinguish normal friendliness, good manners and brotherly kindness from behaviour that might genuinely indicate attraction?

I’m not asking because I want to assume every kind interaction or glance means someone is interested in me. I’m genuinely trying to understand the social cues better as a revert, because some of them are quite different from what I was used to before wearing hijab.

A person who fears Allah understands that honesty is a duty, not a choice based on convenience.”

Assalam aleykum,
I wonder which mosques in London provide match matrimonial services?
