The Muslim marriage app for Newham.
Zawaj helps Muslims in Newham who are ready for marriage meet each other with clear intentions, with proposals instead of swiping and your family involved when you choose.
A young, diverse borough with many Muslim communities.
Newham, including East Ham, Forest Gate and Plaistow, is one of London’s most diverse boroughs, with large Muslim communities from South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Green Street and the surrounding area are a hub of community life.
With so many backgrounds side by side, it can be hard to know where to start when you want a spouse who shares your outlook. Zawaj lets you filter by practice, sect, background and location, with proposals instead of swiping.
Built for how Newham Muslims actually search.
Everyone is there for nikah
No casual dating and no endless swiping. Written proposals make it clear that people are serious.
Filters that matter
Search by practice, sect, background and location, close to Newham or across the UK, so you can find someone who shares your priorities.
Family involved, your way
Once a proposal is accepted, talk by message, voice or video call, and bring your wali in with the Chaperone/Wali feature.
Many backgrounds, one intention.
Marriage across backgrounds is common here, and increasingly welcomed. Talk honestly with your family about what matters most: usually deen, character and compatibility.
Marriage events can be a way to meet people in person, though many find them rushed. Read our honest guide to Muslim marriage events in the UK, and see nikah in the UK for how a nikah relates to UK law.
