UMAA MATRIMONIAL SERVICES
“And one of his signs that He created matches for you from yourselves that you may find comfort in them, and He put between you love and compassion: most surely are signs in this people who reflect.” (30:21).
Created especially for the Shia Muslim young adults of North America., three years ago, UMAA launched its Online Matrimonial Service to meet the growing demand of the concerned parents as well as offering opportunity to young men and women to find their life partners.
We at UMAA understand the problems of our families living in the West in finding matches for their sons and daughters. Whereas the traditional method has always been to find a spouse utilizing contacts of relatives, friends and the people they knew, there is a growing trend these days among the young adults as well as their parents to make the important choice of a life partner through information posted on the internet. It is, however, important to be careful while making use of the internet matrimonial services. We highly recommend that while making use of the internet, the Islamic guidelines are followed, both for faith and trust. It is suggested that the young singles registering on their own seek help from a “wali” (custodian) who could check and investigate the credentials of a suitor, before they proceed further. UMAA Online Matrimonial Service maintains complete confidentiality. Data is matched on the computer and the contact information is provided only with the consent of the registered members, after due scrutiny. However, UMAA does not offer any guarantees.
To check the credentials and the background information is the sole responsibility of the members registering for spousal search. This service is free for UMAA members, who can register online. An optional donation to UMAA is welcomed. Please remember that UMAA is your national organization committed to advance the social, political, and economic agenda for the Shia Muslims of North America.

Invites You Too Attend A Mehfil-e-Maqaseda
Grand Ballroom
Sheraton Premiere, Tysons Corner Vienna, Virginia
Allah Subhanhu wa Ta’ala in numerous deliberations of The Holy Quran Praised The Prophet of Islam (P.B.U.H.) and his Holy Progeny. The exalted status of the Masoomeen has been repeatedly narrated in almost all Ahadees as the traditions of the Prophet and despite many pogroms against Ahl Ul-Bayt and their followers the world history continues to witness the resilience and revival of these lovers of the Prophet and His Progeny.
For the past 1,400 years the poets of all faiths have been inspired by the love of Ahl Ul-Bayt. For the first time after its 6 years of existence UMAA has decided to accord a National Stage to contemporary poets by organizing this literary event which will attract many North American as well as Internationally acclaimed poets of the Urdu as well as Arabic, Persian, English languages to this grand and graceful occasion.
Since the UMAA Convention is a gathering of those who love the Ahlul Bait of the Blessed Prophet (SAW), it cannot be deemed be complete without the praise of Allah Subanhu wa Ta’ala, the Prophet of Islam (P.B.U.H.), and his Holy Progeny.
