We at Habibi Matrimonials are very pleased to have the approval of Imam Mohammad Daniel from Kuwait, a Sunni Imam who is also a Muslim Consultative Scholar, Orator & Columnist and also a Founding Director at Cordoba Academy!
Shaykh Mohammed Daniel Muhajir al-Damishqi currently serves as a consultant to the Director of Public Affairs at the Kuwait Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, having previously worked as a consultant on Western Affairs for the Cultural Sector at the same Ministry.
Throughout his years of studying Islam in Syria, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, he has received personal recognition and authorizations (ijazah) with a traceable chain of narration going back to the Prophet Muhammad in numerous books of Hadith (prophetic traditions) and Fiqh (jurisprudence) from scholars in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa.
He has had the immense privilege of studying under some of the world's leading scholars in their respective fields of Islamic Sciences, including, among others: Shaikh al-Musnid Abdul Wakil bin Abdul Haq al-Hashmi (Makkah), Dr. Mohammed Said Ramadan al-Buti (Syria), Shaikh Thanaullah Khan al-Madni (Pakistan), Dr. Wahba al-Zuhayli (Syria) Sheikh Abdur Razzaq al-Halabi (Syria),
During the years that he studied in Damascus, he was fortunate to study at both of the most famous seats of learning, Mahad Abu Nour and Mahad Fath al-Islami where he read in Azhar University Master’s Degree Program. In his second term at Mahad al-Fath he was requested to teach postgraduate students in the Faculty of Islamic Studies in International Languages, something he gladly took on while simultaneously studying at the Mahad and personally at the hands of renowned scholars.
Here is his nice letter of stamp of approval to join the Imams currently with us!
Imam Mohammed Daniel Approve Habibi Matrimonials!
E-mail to Imam
It is very exciting to have the cooperation of Imams/Shayhs who are there for the Muslims both in person as well as online. It's a vote of confidence that make one feel that they are not just seen behind closed doors in the masjed but also online where we all tend to be. Alhamdollilah!

Three years ago when I started Habibi Matrimonials I never gave thought to reject profiles based on they did not wear hijab. It didn't dawn on me until Ummahlinked had requested such on his own site as I was joining. It was then I blogged about this topic.
None of the six Imams we have thus far requested this but when I e-mail Imam Mohammad Daniel from Kuwait, a Muslim Consultative Scholar, Orator & Columnist he was staunch advocate that he could never join or support a site which has such profiles. I agree with him fully and began to see how many female profiles were without hijab and there were 13.
I contacted each profile to request a change of their picture within 24 hours, instead of just going ahead and deleting profiles that seem otherwise pretty sincere with seeking a spouse. Allah Alim
Imam Mohammad Daniel e-mail kind of alarmed me, I don't know why but it was a wake up call to obey Allahs on his commands and if I see anything online so many Muslim webmasters totally ignore the commands from Allah (SWT). Allowing the social mixing of Muslims so females can eaily chat and make friends with Muslim men. In Islam this social mixing is not allowed unless you have intention for marriage and often times one may need a gaurdian such as a Wali.
We gave the 13 profiles 24 hours notice to change their picture but in hindsight some may be on vacation and not receive their notices and thus what we decided to do was to place these 13 profiles so only they could see their profile, no one else until they are to comply with the picture change request.
So what's a girl to do if she doesn't wear hijab in real life? You can just add no avatar and state on your profile that you do not wear hijab. We are not going to dive into your personal life, but we just want no "fitna" with the Imams joining us to help all the single Muslims. I hope you understand our intention. We do not care to be Religious Police, only we want to comply with what Islam directs us to do.
Jazak Allah Khair

Some spouses love their mates so much that they tend to fall within the lines of verbal abuse when they are stressed. While Verbal abuse is haram in Islam from a spouse, she can have hope that her circumstance can change if she feels that he normally isn’t like this. If she realizes there are some trigger stresses that have him very stressed and may be unknowingly venting at her.
She can say to him “ I realize you are under a lot of stress given these circumstances, but I am not responsible for XYZ. I do not like when I feel like I am to blame.” Certainly a wise husband must realize that he cannot use his wife as a means to de-stress from the stresses that naturally occur for everyone at some time or another. (Lousy Leadership)
When a Husband acts very controlling and second guesses his wife's judgment:
A Smart Muslim woman could say “Thank you for loving me so much, I wouldn’t ever think I was deserving of so much love!”  Say this over and over 3-4 times. That can help some marriages from falling into despair and divorce.  Both parties can commit to making their marriage better.  Make amends by saying, “Let’s forget the past and start over.” It IS possible to start over and gain a happy marriage back. Women have to realize that Muslim men tend to be controlling and you will gain his respect towards you if you happily allow him to be controlling. Instead of fighting every notion he says, maybe he doesn’t want you ever to leave the house, unless with him. He should then just completely understand her need to like to leave the home and go shopping, go to the parks, exercise and do these things with her. Enjoy what she enjoys (that is halal).
Knowing what really ticks off your husband can steer you away from acts which you wouldn’t like for him to get angry with you.  And likewise the man should heed to what ticks her off as well. No one should feel as if they are walking on egg shells. Life if hard enough with all our tests, we need merciful spouses!
A Muslim husband who is suspicious and very mistrusting of his wife who has never proven to him that she deserves such behavior.  You have to realize that it is from your upbringing/societal issues that you have trust issues and it has NOTHING to do with her.  In order to cope with these horrible second guesses where you jump the gun thinking the absolute worst things that she is doing, remember what the Quran says.
Women who are married to men like this; you have to look at the fact that he doesn’t want to share you with anyone else and that he loves you so much. Instead of becoming annoyed with his antics, grab him and tell him, “I love you.” He continues with his antics, say, “I love you.”  “You are the best.” “Did I ever say to you Thank you for loving me so much, I never could believe anyone could love me much less that much.” These words are not just for him but for you too. To remind you that even though his behaviors are not all that desirable that the end result is because he loves you!
There are a lot of men who love so many women, even though he is married to one. He is playboy, cheater and is just basically all westernized and men like this make you want to die. Realize that his loving you is not all that bad; he is basically a good husband.
