A Muslim marriage app for Malaysia.
Looking for a Muslim marriage app or halal matchmaking in Malaysia? Zawaj helps Muslims in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang, Johor Bahru and across the country find someone who is serious about nikah — with clear intentions from the first message.
Strong families, busy lives, and a wider search.
Marriage in Malaysia has long been shaped by family introductions, matchmakers and community networks. That tradition still matters, but many young Malay, Indian Muslim and other Muslim professionals now live and work far from their kampung or home town, with long hours and social circles that rarely reach beyond the office.
Converts — saudara baru or mualaf — often face a different challenge: wanting to marry within the faith, sometimes without Muslim family to make introductions. A Muslim marriage app widens the circle for everyone, while leaving room to involve your wali and family in the way you always would.
Built for halal matchmaking in Malaysia.
Proposals, not swiping
You send or receive a proposal, so intentions are clear from the first message — no casual liking or swiping.
Filters that matter
Search by practice, background and location, and see who is open to relocating — within Malaysia or abroad.
Verified and respectful
Verification and reporting tools help keep the community genuine. See our safety approach.
Mencari aplikasi jodoh Muslim?

Aplikasi ini kini dalam bahasa Inggeris dan tersedia di iOS dan Android.

Can dating be halal?
Many people ask whether dating is halal, or whether dating apps are haram. Most scholars distinguish between casual dating, which is generally seen as impermissible, and getting to know a potential spouse with marriage as the clear goal — respectfully, without being alone together, and with family involved. That is the kind of search Zawaj is built for. Read more in are Muslim dating apps haram?
Registering a Muslim marriage in Malaysia.
Muslim marriages in Malaysia are registered with the Islamic religious authority of your state. The process usually includes:
- A pre-marriage course (kursus pra-perkahwinan), which is generally required for both bride and groom.
- Health screening, which many states ask for before the marriage.
- The consent of the bride’s wali and two witnesses at the akad nikah.
- Identification and application forms submitted to the religious authority.
Requirements vary by state and can change, so check with your state Islamic religious department before you set a date. For the religious side, read what nikah requires.
