Where Muslims meet

Three lawsuits. One name lost. Ten million members later, we’re still here.

Three acquisition offers.Three lawsuits.A name we built from scratch — taken.Millions in legal fees.Hundreds of 4am product calls.A team that almost burnt out more than once.

And more than 500,000 Muslims married.

Ten years ago, this wasn’t a company.It was one man. A laptop. A bedroom in East London.Our founder had just left a nine-year career in investment banking. No tech background. No cofounder. No investors. Just a stubborn belief that Muslims deserved a better way to meet — something built for us, by us.

He taught himself how to code in four months.Designed the first version of the app in Microsoft Word.And launched it from his bedroom.

He spent weekends flyering outside mosques, sticking cards on windshields, and emailing back every single user who needed help — because it mattered that much. And slowly, it grew. By 2017, we hit a million users — with no ads, no agency, and no big PR splash. Just Muslims telling other Muslims: you should try this.

And they did.

Today, Muzz is the world’s largest Muslim marriage app.10 million+ members.Over 500,000 people married.A team of 170+.On-the-ground marketers in every country we operate in.Global. Distributed. And still 100% Muslim-owned.

This is what it looks like when you don’t fold.

We’ve been sued — three times — by the largest dating conglomerate in the world. Match Group owns Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, The League, and now our only competitor. Over the years, they made three acquisition offers. The last one came in at $35 million.

We said no. Every time.

So they sued us.

They sued us in the UK over our name.They sued us in the US over our swipe.They sued us again, later, over a patent so broad it barely made sense.

We lost. Every time.

We fought each case — not for headlines, but to defend what we built. It cost us years of energy. Millions in legal fees. And eventually, our name.

We were told we could no longer call ourselves Muzm**ch — the name we started with, the name our community knew, the name we spent a decade building.

So we let it go.

And we weren’t the first. When Bumble refused their acquisition offer, Match Group sued them too. This is what they do. When they can’t buy you, they try to bury you.

And became Muzz.

We didn’t fold. We rebuilt.

We redesigned the entire app.Launched a new Discover experience.Revamped profiles, filters, voice and video features.And shipped the biggest update in our history — Muzz 4.0.

People stayed.The product got better.And the mission didn’t change.

Because this was never just about building an app.It was about building space.

Space where Muslims could show up as themselves.Where no one needed to translate their culture or explain their values.Where your identity wasn’t something to be softened, filtered, or hidden from an algorithm that didn’t understand you.

That’s why, last year, we launched Muzz Social — a community platform where Muslims can post, comment, share, ask questions, or just… exist. It’s not about finding a partner. It’s about finding your people. Your voice. Yourself — reflected.

And we’re doing it our way.No shadow bans. No censorship. No quiet punishments for speaking the truth. No catering to platforms that silence Muslim voices — especially when those platforms are owned by Zionist-backed corporations.

Especially now — when it’s never been more obvious how important safe platforms are.

We don’t rely on vague promises or performative allyship. We build the tech ourselves. We fund it ourselves. And we protect it — not because it’s trendy, but because we live here too.

Because when you’re given a blessing, you give back.

Every year, we use our platform to raise funds for causes close to our ummah — and we match the donations ourselves. Over the years, that’s included building schools in Pakistan, homes for Syrian refugees in Turkey, a bakery in East Sudan, mobile clinics in Palestine, and a maternal and childcare center in Yemen — all in pink.

This year, we raised over half a million dollars to help build a hospital in Jordan for Syrian and Palestinian refugees.

Because when Allah gives you a blessing, you give from it. And we take that seriously.

This is what it looks like when Muslims build the internet.

We’ve operated in silence before.Built in the background.Shipped things before we even had time to explain them.

But today we’re saying it plainly.

We’re proud.We’re Muslim-owned — and always will be.We’re live in over 190 countries.And we’re just getting started.

Because when we say we’re building for Muslims, we mean all of it:

The awkward first chats.The heartfelt proposals.The posts about joy, grief, Gaza, love, faith, longing, and healing.The stories that don’t need to be softened for anyone else’s comfort.

That’s the future of Muzz.Not just where Muslims meet.Where we belong.

Oh, and never forget — free Palestine.

Alhamdulillah for the journey. And in every version of our future.

You planned to go all out for the last 10 nights—qiyam, extra du’as, pushing yourself to new levels of worship. And then… boom. Your period starts. No fasting, no salah, no taraweeh. It’s easy to feel like you’re missing out, but here’s the truth: your worship isn’t paused, it just shifts.

We sometimes equate ibadah with certain physical acts—praying long nights, fasting all day—but worship is much deeper than that. The heart of Ramadan is turning to Allah with sincerity, seeking His forgiveness, and making the most of every opportunity to grow closer to Him. And none of that is off-limits just because you’re on your period.

The last 10 nights of Ramadan are a time for immense mercy and blessings. If you’re feeling like you’re missing out, remind yourself that you’re still in it. You still have access to the mercy of these nights, and there are plenty of ways to make them count.

This is your time to ask. No restrictions, no limits. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that Allah loves when we call upon Him, and du’a is one of the most powerful acts of worship—whether you’re in sujood or sitting on your couch.

Make a list of everything you want to ask for, big or small. Du’a isn’t just about seeking things for yourself—make du’a for your family, your friends, the Ummah, and those who have no one to pray for them. The beauty of Lailatul Qadr is that one sincere du’a can change your destiny.

Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet ﷺ what she should say if she finds Lailatul Qadr, and he told her to say:

“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni.” (O Allah, You are Forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.)

Even if you don’t know what to ask for, keep repeating this.

Even if you can’t pray, you can fill your time with remembrance of Allah. The simplest acts hold immense reward in these nights:

These small phrases hold so much weight. Say them while cooking, before bed, or anytime you have a quiet moment. You can also send salawat (blessings) upon the Prophet ﷺ, which is one of the easiest and most rewarding acts of worship.

The last 10 nights are the best time for giving. Even if you can only give a small amount, the sincerity behind it is what matters.

One of the best ways to catch Lailatul Qadr is by giving to something that leaves a lasting impact. This year, Muzz is partnering with Droplets of Mercy to build a hospital for Palestinian and Syrian refugees in Jordan. Thousands of families in overcrowded refugee camps are struggling to access even basic medical care. This hospital will provide life-saving treatment—from emergency care to maternity services—giving real, long-term relief to those in need.

🌙 Be part of something bigger. Help us build this hospital, brick by brick. Donate now and make every night count.

You may not be able to recite, but you can still engage with the Qur’an. Listen to a recitation, ponder over the meaning, and reflect on how you can implement it in your life.

If you have a favorite surah, play the recitation and read along with the translation. Let the words sink in and remind yourself that the Qur’an was sent down in these very nights.

One of the most overlooked forms of worship is serving others. Cooking iftar for family, helping a sibling with homework, checking in on a friend—these acts of kindness all count as worship when done with the right intention.

The Prophet ﷺ said:“The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others.” (Hadith, Al-Mu’jam Al-Awsat)

Helping others isn’t just a nice thing to do—it’s a way to gain immense reward, especially in these last 10 nights.

Lailatul Qadr is the night of destiny—a night where Allah forgives, erases sins, and writes what’s ahead. Even if you feel like you didn’t make the most of Ramadan so far, even if you feel distant, this is your chance to start fresh.

Repent sincerely, ask Allah to cleanse your heart, and let go of what’s holding you back.

Your period isn’t a pause on your spiritual growth. It’s a reminder that worship takes many forms, and Allah’s mercy isn’t limited to just salah and fasting.

What matters is that you show up, that you try, and that your heart is turned toward Him. The doors of mercy are still open, and you’re still a part of these blessed nights.

So don’t sit this one out—stay present, stay engaged, and make these nights count. 

“Mohamed, that’s you??” At this point, everyone has seen the huge pink billboards that took over North America.. 10 billboards across the United States and Canada to be exact. Muzz, the number one Muslim marriage app– made by Muslims for Muslims, knew no boundaries on our quest to find Mohamed a wife. And now that all is said and done, let us pull back the curtain and give you the real story behind one of our wildest, most fun, and most successful campaigns to date.

After running a similar campaign in the UK– the viral Find Malik a Wife campaign, and attracting news outlets from all over the world– we knew we had to go back for round two, and run a similar campaign in North America to break the internet once again. We were on a mission to do something bold and light-hearted, but also meaningful and memorable. 

Did we hire an actor for this campaign? 

Absolutely not. 

Mohamed was not a hired actor or a paid model; he was a real Muslim guy, from New York, who was genuinely looking for love. On the search for the face of our soon-to-be known as “Find Mohamed a Wife” campaign, Muzz sent out comms to real Muzz users across North America seeking the next face of the brand. Hundreds of interviews were had with viable applicants, until we found the face of the campaign- Mohamed. Mohamed was actively seeking a wife, had been on Muzz for years, and was ready to settle down and find the one. 

When we approached him with the idea of turning his search for a wife into a massive campaign, he was excited and all-in from day one. We didn’t want someone who was just going to show up for some photo shoot and call it a day. Nope, Mohamed was ready to take this thing to the next level, and we were ready to back him up– proving that Muzz was willing to do anything to get our users married.

And if Muzz is known for anything, it’s putting our money where our billboards are.

In just two months, a vision, and the hard work of our dedicated Muzz team, we brought this campaign to life– unheard of from any other relationship app out there. Then, came the reveal of the billboards. These weren’t your typical known Muzz marriage ads. Mohamed’s face was plastered all over them, and in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Toronto, Mississauga, Vancouver, and Calgary simultaneously. Aside from the hilarious, attention-grabbing taglines on each billboard, they all featured the website—FindMohamedAWife.com— a muzz website directing curious minds to know more about Mohamed, learn exactly what he was looking for, and to be assured no– this was no joke. Over 5,000 people shot their shot at being Mohamed’s naseeb. Yes, really, 5,000 people.

Now to address our second more requested question, the influencers– Aiyanna, was she paid?

Surprise! Yes– Aiyanna was paid and in on the campaign from the beginning. Not only that, but we could not have asked for a more fun creator to collaborate with. Aiyanna was in her bag from the initial run-in to the billboard, to the follow up dinner date with Mohamed. The Muzz marketing team was even on the next table over, giggling as we watched her do her thing.

Although we did collaborate with Aiyanna and a few other creators on this campaign, the overwhelming majority of the Find Mohamed a Wife videos were organic content from people who were genuinely reacting to the billboards– and we loved seeing it; an unforgettable viral moment for Muzz.

Was that all? –You guessed it,  our campaign did not stop there. We wanted to keep the (halal) party going, so Muzz hosted a Mohamed Block Party in one of the biggest cities, and home to our highest user rates–New York City. The best part? All Mohamed’s got in for free. There we got the chance to celebrate one of our most successful campaigns yet. A space filled with the yummiest vendors, interactive games, and a chance for people to meet Mohamed in the flesh.

So, what happened in the end? Well, after all the billboards, the events, the interviews, and the Mohamed Block Party, there was only one thing left to do. We gave Mohamed all the applications he received from his potential suitors. That’s right—he had the chance to connect with over 5,000 people who were genuinely interested in getting to know him and, perhaps, becoming the one. Was he overwhelmed? Absolutely. Was it worth it? 100%.

In the end, this was about more than just getting attention. It was about showing that Muslims finding love doesn’t have to only be about swiping through profiles. Muzz will always advocate for real people making real connections, and giving those who are serious about marriage, the opportunity to do so the halal way. Mohamed’s journey wasn’t just a marketing scheme—it was a story we believed in; one that we got to share with so many of you following along. 

As for the big question everyone’s been asking– did Mohamed find his wife?

What fun would it be if we just gave you all of the answers? But jokes aside, he’s still on his journey, and we’re cheering him on from the sidelines. Who knows—maybe one of the 5,000 applicants will end up being the one for him. Either way, we’re happy we were able to be part of this chapter in his life. Not many people get to say that Muzz put them on billboards internationally. Thank you all for coming along with us for the ride.
