Sometimes other matrimonial services offer a free introductory period. And many of them offer a limited free membership that lets you post a profile, for example, but not reply to others. Zawaj.com is different. We have no membership fees.

With that said, the website needs to be upgraded. The programming is getting out of date and we need to redevelop it from scratch. If you would be interested in funding this project, please let me know. It's been suggested that I charge membership fees to make this possible, but I want to avoid that because I believe this site benefits many people who would not be able to afford a fee.

NOTICE:If you joined more than 6 months ago and you find that you cannot log in anymore and you are being prompted for payment, not to worry, just email me and I'll renew your membership, free of charge.

Other Zawaj.com Updates

Our traffic has really jumped lately and we are getting over a million page requests per week now. Alhamdulillah, this has resulted in a lot of new profiles for you to view and meet.

We have a lot of improvements planned to the website in the next few months, so keep an eye out.

A nice message I recently received:

Dear Mr. Abdelgawad; Thank you for the effort to help us Arabs and Muslims to find our partners. At first I thought it might be a waste of time, but I was wrong, it did help me find a nice muslim lady. Thank you. - Mohamad
