THE FOUNDER · ONE-MAN SHOW
“I built Somali Marriage so that looking for a righteous spouse costs nothing.”
I built Somali Marriage because I wanted to find nikah the right way myself.

I'm not a developer by background — I'm a regular Muslim who saw my own circle (sisters and brothers in their 20s and 30s) struggling to find nikah the halal way. Muzz required payment just for replies. Aunties picked the wrong matches. Instagram DMs were chaos. So I taught myself, built, and launched Somali Marriage on April 1, 2026. I built what I was missing myself.
Before Somali Marriage I built the Nordic region's largest remote-work community — 21,000 members. That's where I learned what makes a community strong: moderation, clear identity, and that the founder must be inside the problem themselves. I carry that lesson into Somali Marriage.
I didn't build Somali Marriage to get rich. Joining, browsing and sending interest are free for everyone. Chatting opens with Premium — either of you can pay, same price for sisters and brothers. Inviting friends can earn it free. That revenue is what keeps the platform alive and independent: no investor owns me, no ads, no selling your data. Every hour I put in is for the sake of Allah, inshaAllah. If Somali Marriage helps ONE brother or sister find their right one, the entire journey was worth it.
Nikah is the end, not swiping. The platform is built to lead there, not around it.
Joining, browsing and receiving interest are free for everyone — that part is a principle, not a promotion. What Premium buys is writing in the private chat, and that is what sustains the platform: no investor, no ads, no selling your data.
Your profile goes live automatically after passing a safety check — usually within 2 minutes. I read every report myself. Your chats stay private between you and the other person — I do not read them. No bot replies. No algorithm that guesses.
Quran & Sunnah is the frame. Design decisions are tested against that, not against dating apps.
If you help a brother or sister find their right one here — by sharing the platform, writing a success story, or inviting your mosque — it becomes sadaqa for you, inshaAllah. You don't need to seek nikah yourself to gain from it. Every nikah that happens via Somali Marriage has a chain of helpers behind it. Be a link in the chain.
