Ep 89 - Lockdown Love (ft. Adeem Younis)

This week The Muslim Vibe has partnered with Britsh Muslim TV for today's podcast. Our host Salim speaks to Adeem Younis of singlemuslim.com about online dating in the Muslim community. A trip down memory lane walks us through the story behind singlemuslim.com, taking us through the journey of how an office above a pizza shop turned into a well-known platform with thousands of users. The platform has seen a surge in the number of users as lockdown measures have been put into place, prompting Salim and Adeem to ask one question - why? They speculate over what the reasons could be, discussing how the pandemic has affected how people get to know each other, and whether conversing online can truly substitute meeting face-to-face. The conversation winds down with some important considerations for those looking to online platforms such as singlemuslim.com,  with particular regard to the current unstable times we are all faced with. __  If you would like to help support us at The Muslim Vibe, please visit https://themuslimvibe.com/support.
