You've already tried.

MuzzPay-walls and one-sided pings.

Instagram DMsNo way to tell who's serious.

The auntiesThe choice isn't yours.

Zawji is none of those.

Four things I built differently.

Every new profile is safety-screened.

You only see people who are serious.

Automatically at sign-up — edge cases I look at myself.

The chat is private. The filter is automatic.

No private photos. No phone numbers.

Auto-filter blocks instantly, and you can report problems. I don't read the chats.

Wali when you're ready (for sisters).

Your family only meets the right one.

You share wali's number when you say yes. The brother calls him himself.

You're never seen without your consent.

Photos are optional and hidden by default. You choose who sees yours: no one, only at a match, or everyone.

Every photo is admin-reviewed and watermarked. You're judged on your deen, not your looks.

Here's what it looks like inside

You read their deen before you see their face.

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.

Från första chatten till nikah.

Det första paret gifte sig den 29 juni 2026, knappt tre månader efter att jag öppnade plattformen. Sedan dess har fler följt. Fem par har gift sig genom Zawji. Av respekt för dem delar jag inga namn och inga bilder. 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.

Create your profile

Your deen, your city, what you're looking for in a spouse. Five minutes — no photos required.

Create profile

Search on what actually matters

City, age, sect, prayer habits — the same questions everyone answered at registration. No swipe feed choosing for you.

Wa alaykum assalam! Jazak Allahu khayran, tell me more about your goals.

Involve wali when you're ready

You share your wali's number in chat. The brother calls wali himself. The families arrange the sittning — a structured family meeting where the couple meets with wali present.

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. Sisters never pay — the brothers carry the cost when a chat opens. 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 a profile (5 min) → 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.
