Salaam instead of swiping.

A swipe is a split-second judgment. A Salaam is a greeting with meaning. Maktub lets you send one Salaam at a time so introductions stay deliberate — pace that protects dignity.

Maktub Salaam system instead of swiping

Intention at every introduction

Sending a Salaam means you read the profile and chose to reach out — not a quick like in a swipe deck.

Islamic etiquette emphasizes sincerity and respect in seeking marriage. Product pace can support that or undermine it.

Pace limits protect everyone

Weekly and concurrent Salaam limits prevent spam and keep focus on one meaningful greeting at a time.

When interest is mutual, photos and messages open. Soft links to how it works or the founding cohort when you want to join.

It is written.

Maktub replaces likes and left-swipes with a single, intentional Salaam — no swipe deck, one person at a time.
