Muzz (formerly MuzMatch) is the world’s biggest Muslim marriage app. And the best part? We’re proudly Muslim-owned. Muzz connects you with a community of 20 million Muslims looking for marriage. More than 1,000,000 Muslim marriages have already started on Muzz, so yeah, we know a thing or two about helping Muslims find their person. Looking for marriage? You’re in the right place. Muzz was built with Muslims in mind from day one, with features designed to help you meet your person in a way that feels safe, intentional and halal. Because finding your spouse is hard enough without having to explain what a Wali is. And when you just want to connect with the wider Muslim community, there’s Jamaa — our dedicated social app built to amplify Muslim voices, not censor them. Share what’s on your mind, find your people and join the conversation. SAFETY FEATURES Verified Users: Every profile is verified with a selfie, and members can add optional ID Verification for an extra layer of trust and a blue verification badge. Safety First: We have a dedicated team that is here to help you with your Muslim marriage experience and provide assistance. Stay Private: You have complete control of who can see your profile and keep your photos private until you're ready to share them. Screenshot Protection: Your photos stay yours. We block screenshots so no one can save or share your profile without your permission. Chaperone: Need that extra peace of mind? Include a chaperone (or Wali) in your conversations. WHY MUZZ? Targeted Filters: Find your perfect match by Location, Interests, Profession, Ethnicity, Language, Education, how practicing you are and much more. Explore other cultures, chat with Arabs, South Asian, European Muslims and more. Video & Voice: Get to know your matches beyond chat with video and voice calling, voice notes and profile videos. Break The Ice: Let us help you start the conversation. Add three icebreaker questions to your profile, and we'll reveal your match's answer once you've both connected. Let Your Personality Shine: Sometimes simply saying Salams or having a brief bio might not fully capture your story. Are you a cat person who loves to visit museums? We've added Personality and Interest options to make your profile stand out. Stay Intentional: With chat limits, you can focus on meaningful conversations instead of endless small talk, quality over quantity. Connect Nationwide: Moved to the city but still looking for a Muslim partner back in your hometown? Use Travel Mode to find Muslims in places such as; California, Texas, Michigan and New York. HOW IT WORKS 1. Simply sign up and create a profile 2. Use good photos and write a bio letting other single Muslims know what you're looking for 3. We'll show you compatible single Muslims near you who fit your filters and preferences 4. Like them if you're interested, Pass on them if you're not 5. You control who can speak to you.

Ihtisab is a private, offline tool for honest daily self-accounting — muhasabah. It makes your own practice visible to you, accurately, without turning worship into a game. It tracks: • The five daily prayers — a simple Prayed or Missed, one tap. • Qada — a make-up ledger for prayers owed, with a starting estimate you can revise at any time. • Sunnah prayers — rawatib, witr, tahajjud, and ishraq. • Qur'an — by juz and quarter, so you can see which portions you've read. • Athkar — morning and evening sessions, read through at your own pace. • Sunnah fasting, Surah al-Mulk nightly, and Surah al-Kahf on Fridays. Built around a few principles: • Count acts, never reward. It logs what you did — it never totals "hasanat," awards points, or blends everything into a single score. • Private by default. No account, no server, no network. Everything stays on your device. There is no share sheet and nothing to sign in to. • Blunt about patterns, quiet about incidents. A single missed prayer gets no comment; a prayer missed often gets named, with the number. • Forward-looking. It shows the next window opening. A missed prayer is recorded plainly — never an alarm, never a guilt notification. The face is a sky-clock: the colours shift through the day with the computed prayer times, from a dark night to a parchment noon. Prayer times are calculated on your device from your location — nothing is sent anywhere. If you don't share a location, the app simply shows no times rather than guessing. A home-screen widget shows the current window and how long is left. No ads. No purchases. No analytics. No tracking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ihtisab at none against Muzz's 10. Ihtisab also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Muzz's advantage is ratings volume (55K vs 2) and chart position (#100 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
