MyKismet Matrimonial
Looking for your better half? MyKismet Matrimonial is organized by Murat and Nayma Kose and is sponsored by the Zakat Foundation of America. Murat and Nayma are a multi-cultural power couple who have been community leaders in the US for the past 30+ years. They have been heavily involved in communities across the US from the East to the West Coast and have built a strong network of young Muslims ever since they themselves got married in the late 90s. This passion project is meant to bring together American Muslims looking to complete their other half in a way that is comfortable for all parties involved.
