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.
