Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of the event?
- Registration (Provide email confirmation of purchased ticket and show your British Passport)
- One to one rotations followed by group rotations.
- Lunch - Depending on the venue, food may be provided.
- Prayer breaks will be provided.
- Follow-up one to ones (only if approved by both parties)
How does the event work?
- At each table, each female will sit opposite a male (on the side of a round table)
- The males will rotate around the table having a 1:1 with each female.
- Once each male has spoken to each female on a 1:1 basis, each person will twist their chair so that they are all facing the table. A question will be posed on the mic and a group discussion will take place responding to the question.
- The males will then move to the next table and repeat the process above. This will be the system adopted at each table.
How does matching work at the event?
- Upon entering the event, each participant will be asked to complete a mini profile stating their: Name, Age, Location, Ethnicity, Occupation and Marital Status.
- Each profile will be allocated a number and each participant will be given a badge to wear with their profile number on it.
- During the event, each participant should be taking note of the badge numbers of those they consider as potentials. (Also each profile will be available to review at all times on the side).
- During the final segment of the event, participants can approach the volunteers and state the badge numbers of those they considered as potentials. The volunteers will approach the potentials and obtain their view.
- If the feeling is mutual, the volunteers will arrange for a further 1:1 to take place between the matches.
- If the feeling is not mutual, the volunteers will subtly make the relevant person aware.
Can I exchange details with matches?
- With any matches, we advocate the Islamic way and that is to involve families immediately.
- All matches should get to know each other within the correct Islamic parameters.
- What should not be happening is that a male and female get to know one another after the event on their own. If this happens, you do so at your own risk! And if this happens, please do not use this against us on the Day of Judgment because we provide this platform in light of Islamic values only. Therefore, if anyone decides to use our platform in the wrong way, then this is on them and they must take responsibility for their own actions on the Day of Judgment.
