The Muslim marriage app for Brooklyn and Queens.
Zawaj helps Muslims in Brooklyn and Queens who are ready for marriage meet each other with clear intentions, with written proposals instead of swiping and your family involved when you choose.
Two of the most diverse boroughs in the world.
Brooklyn and Queens are home to large Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Arab, West African, Caribbean and African American Muslim communities, with mosques in almost every neighbourhood.
The size of the community means a large pool but crowded introductions and little privacy. Zawaj lets you search across New York City and choose who you hear from.
Built for how Brooklyn and Queens Muslims actually search.
