Why The Midwest Muslim Singles Event?
In collaboration with Baba Ali, co-founder of Half Our Deen, the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati (ICGC) is hosting one of a kind Muslim Singles event that breaks away from the ineffective speed dating matrimonial events and the traditional match-making services.
This event is designed for Muslim singles to meet in a private, casual and yet an engaging atmosphere where they can interact and learn more about each other. Muslims from all states are encouraged to apply.
This fun and game-oriented event caters to the need for more creative and effective ways to meet and learn about each other in a safe environment . Many pre-marital and personality questions are incorporated into the event activities to allow for a quick dip into meaningful relationship questions.
