Marriage intention stated clearly.

If two people want different outcomes — one marriage within months, another undefined “seeing where it goes” — heartbreak is predictable. Maktub requires a marriage timeline on profiles so intention is visible before anyone sends a Salaam.

Clear marriage intention and timeline

Niyyah visible from the start

Intention (niyyah) matters in Islam for acts of worship and for major life decisions. Seeking marriage is not the same as casual companionship. Stating timeline and purpose upfront filters mismatched expectations early.

This does not rush nikah irresponsibly. It makes the destination clear so conversations can be honest.

Niyyah Score as a signal, not a judgment

Maktub's Niyyah Score reflects profile completeness, engagement quality, and community trust — a practical signal of seriousness, not a measure of iman. No algorithm can know what is in the heart.

Use it as one data point among many, alongside conversation, family input, and istikhara.

It is written.

Marriage timeline and purpose on every profile — nikah-minded from the start, not ambiguous “getting to know you” culture.
