A Single Muslim Woman’s Guide to Living a Happy Life

Many non-Muslims think that Muslim women are not capable of enjoying independent lives. If you are a single Muslim woman, you might be wondering how to enjoy yourself and still honor your commitment to Islam.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways for single Muslim women to have fun while honoring their faith. 

You can do your part to challenge harmful misconceptions about Islam by daring to live a happy life as a single Muslim woman.

Keep reading, and we’ll tell you all about some fun things to do as a single Muslim woman. 

Benefits of Being Single in Islam 

You might be wondering: is it Haram not to get married? Don’t worry. Choosing to be single doesn’t mean you are going against your faith.

According to the teaching of the Quran, women do not have to marry as long as they are capable of taking care of themselves independently. 

The Quran states that women who cannot feed or clothe themselves without help must get married.

However, if you are a modern woman with a job and a wardrobe: congratulations! You can reap the benefits of being single while still complying with the Quran. 

Traveling As a Single Muslim Woman

Traveling is a great adventure for Muslim women staying single. If your family immigrated from another country, you could travel to their homeland. 

Traveling can deepen your understanding of both your family and yourself. Sometimes, being in a new environment can bring you clarity and help you examine your faith. 

Pampering Yourself 

When you’re single, sometimes you need to buy yourself something nice. Who needs a husband to buy them jewelry and flowers? 

To pamper yourself and honor your heritage, you can purchase a lovely name necklace, available in Arabic, Urdu, English, and more. 

Also, don’t hesitate to take yourself out to a nice halal dinner once in a while.  

Remaining Chaste and Honoring Your Faith

One vital component of being a single Muslim woman is chastity. The Quran discourages any Muslim person from breaking their celibacy before marriage. 

There is a lot of value in taking time to yourself and practicing celibacy. 

During this time, you can learn more about yourself, your faith, and what you truly want out of life. This will prepare you in case you decide to marry later in life.

Casual Dating For Single Muslim Women

A lot of single women want to eventually find a husband. After all, it is only natural to want to share your life with someone. 

As a single Muslim woman, you should seek out dating events for other Muslim singles. That way, you can be sure to meet a man who shares your commitment to Islam.

Have Fun While Single and Honor Your Faith

Hopefully, we’ve given you a few ideas about how fun life can be for single Muslim women. Being single can be an enriching experience for everyone, especially those who are committed to their faith!

Remember to pamper yourself just like a husband would. Being single doesn’t mean giving up royal treatment!
