Wa alaykum assalam! I read what you wrote about building a home on deen — that's exactly what I'm looking for too.

14:02

Alhamdulillah. May I ask what you're studying? And how do you see the first years after nikah?

14:05

Nursing, one year left. When it feels right, my wali would love to talk to you.

The chat — when you match

Example profiles and conversation — not real members

Security

You decide. We protect.

Five building blocks — from registration to the sittning (family meeting).

  • You control your photos

    Photos are optional and hidden by default. You choose who sees them, every photo is admin-reviewed and watermarked. You're judged on your deen, your values, your goals.

  • Chat with auto-filter

    Private numbers, emails and photos are blocked instantly, and off-platform recruitment is caught. You can report problems.

  • Data in the EU. GDPR.

    Servers in Stockholm. You delete your profile whenever — no questions, no forms.

  • Wali on your signal

    You decide WHEN wali's number is shared in chat. The brother calls wali himself. You never have to call dad.

  • Every profile reviewed before it appears

    Automatic review for authenticity and safety — edge cases I look at myself. I don't read the chats; auto-filter and your reports protect them. No bot responses.

From first chat to nikah.

The first couple married on June 29, 2026, barely three months after I opened the platform. More have followed since. Five couples have married through Zawji. Out of respect for them I share no names and no photos. Alhamdulillah.

For sisters

You have questions. Here are 8 answers.

Written by Fuaad after conversations with sisters who were skeptical at first.

  • Photos are optional and hidden by default. You decide if and when yours is shown: to no one, only at a match, or to everyone. The profile shows your deen, your values, your goals.

How it works

Four steps from profile to nikah

No swiping, no games. Four steps to a sittning with both families.

A letter from the founder — Fuaad Nuur

Salam — I'm Fuaad.

If you've ever deleted Muzz in pure frustration, or said no to yet another suggestion from an auntie, you know why Zawji exists.

I'm Somali-Swedish, I live in Stockholm, and I've been there myself: Muzz wanted payment before I could get a reply, the aunties suggested the wrong people, and Instagram DMs were just chaos. The sisters and brothers around me couldn't find a halal way to marry either.

None of it worked.

I'm not really a developer — I sat down and learned, and on I opened Zawji: halal matchmaking, built from Stockholm.

Three things hold with me. Finding each other is free; chat opens with the same Premium for sisters and brothers, and whoever wants to can pay to open it for both. Your photos stay hidden until you choose, and your profile is never publicly searchable: only logged-in, reviewed members see it, and your name is never shown. And the wali comes in when you're ready for sittning and nikah — not when someone else decides.

I do everything myself, at least four hours a day: reviewing unclear profiles and answering reports.

The first Zawji couple married on — barely three months after launch.

If you recognized yourself at the start of this letter, you're the person I built Zawji for. And if something feels wrong, you write to me directly.

May Allah make your search easy.

Common questions.

On Muzz you pay just to maybe get a reply. On Zawji every new profile is safety-screened — and there's a real person behind the platform, not an algorithm. Auto-filter blocks private numbers and photos directly in chat, and you can report problems. I don't read the chats. No pay-per-message. No swiping. Wali is welcome. A curated platform with a real person behind it, not a faceless global app.

A sittning (Swedish word, used by Nordic Muslims) is a structured family meeting before nikah. The couple meets in the presence of the wali (the sister's male guardian — father, brother, or another close male relative) and usually other family members. The purpose: get to know each other honestly, ask questions about deen, values, future plans — without haram mixing, without dating dynamics. On Zawji, you reach sittning only when the sister shares her wali's number in the chat and the brother calls wali himself. Everything aligned with Islamic law: the woman consents, the man shows seriousness, the families are involved.

A wali is the sister's male guardian in the nikah process — usually her father. If the father is absent, non-Muslim, or unsuitable, the role passes (in order) to: grandfather, brother, paternal uncle, maternal uncle, or a trusted Muslim man. Converts without Muslim family can use a local imam as wali. The wali's role: protect the sister's interests, approve the nikah, attend the sittning. He NEVER calls you first — the brother calls wali directly when the sister shares the number in chat. At the nikah ceremony itself, wali formally says 'I give her in marriage to you' with the sister's consent.

If both parties and families feel it's right: the next step is nikah (the Islamic marriage contract). Between sittning and nikah you'll often have 1-3 more family meetings — to discuss mahr, housing, future plans, and let both families get to know each other. Timeline varies: some go from first sittning to nikah within 4-6 weeks; others take 3-6 months. All fine according to Islamic law. Zawji does NOT follow you after the sittning — it's the families' process. We're available for support via email if you have questions.

You create an account (email, password, tick) → it's safety-screened automatically and is usually visible right away → you browse and chat privately with matches (auto-filter blocks numbers and photos instantly; you can report problems). When the match gets serious, the sister shares wali's number in chat — the brother calls wali himself to arrange a sittning with both families. The full path from profile to sittning typically takes 3-6 weeks. You set the pace.

Was this helpful?

Yes, the chat is private between you. Auto-filter blocks private numbers, emails, and photos instantly, and you can report problems — but no admin reads your messages. Wali enters when the sister chooses — she shares his number in chat, and the brother calls wali directly. Wali is never on the app, but involved at sittning and nikah. This is how Zawji keeps the chat halal: protected by the filter, wali on the sister's signal, families involved at the right moment.

Was this helpful?

Yes. Zawji is built according to the Quran and Sunnah. No phone numbers or private photos can be shared outside of Zawji's chat flow. Automatic filtering blocks instantly, and you can report problems — but no admin reads your chats. Photos are optional, hidden by default and always moderated before they appear. You choose who sees yours. Wali is welcome in the marriage process.

Was this helpful?

Absolutely! Wali involvement is strongly encouraged. You don't need to provide a wali at registration, but when a match becomes serious, the sister shares wali's number in the chat. The brother calls wali himself — that's his proof of seriousness. Then the families arrange the sittning. Admin is not at the sittning but is available if you need support.
