Halal Matchmaking in Atlanta

The Muslim community in Atlanta

Atlanta has become one of the most important centres of Muslim life in the American South, with a diverse and steadily growing community. Al-Farooq Masjid, founded in 1980 and rebuilt in a striking new building in 2008, is one of the largest mosques in the southeastern United States, while the Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam, established in 1976, anchors the city's African-American Muslim heritage. The community brings together Arab, South Asian, African-American and African Muslims, with halal restaurants and shops clustering along Buford Highway. So if you are a practising Muslim in Atlanta looking to marry, you are part of a real, established community. To be honest about Zawji: we are Nordic-founded and most members are still in Scandinavia, so we are only beginning to reach the South. But Zawji is open to anyone, anywhere, for free, so you can join today and be among the first here.

Atlanta's Muslim community is diverse and increasingly visible, drawing Arab, Pakistani, African-American and African Muslims, with much of the population settled in the northeastern part of the metro and along Buford Highway, where halal restaurants and grocers cluster. Al-Farooq Masjid serves a mix of South Asian, Arab and African-American congregants, while the Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam represents one of the city's oldest and most prominent African-American Muslim institutions. Together they reflect a community that blends deep local roots with newer immigrant growth.
