1. Build a profile with enough meaning
A serious introduction needs more than photos and a short bio. Maktub profiles cover religious practice, family, education and work, location, lifestyle, children, and marriage timeline.
Matching uses stated preferences and compatibility signals. It is an introduction, not a judgment or guarantee, and not a substitute for your own discernment.
2. Receive one curated introduction per day
Instead of an endless catalogue, Maktub shows one curated introduction per day. Location and core preferences bound the set; profile detail helps explain why someone may be relevant.
One introduction leaves room to actually read a profile. The goal is not more time in the app, but better consideration.
3. Send one Salaam — photos stay locked until mutual
If a profile resonates, you send one personal Salaam. Conversation opens only when interest is mutual. Photos stay blurred until then, so values and intention come before appearance.
A mutual Salaam opens messaging with the profile available as context. Reporting and blocking support boundaries when contact is not right.
4. Mutual Salaam opens conversation + profile context
Maktub can facilitate an introduction; people and families decide what happens next. Wali Mode is optional for different levels of family involvement. Keep verifying information, ask hard questions, involve trusted people, and take sensible safety steps.
It is written.
From profile to conversation: one curated introduction a day, one Salaam, photos after mutual interest, chat with context. No swiping, no endless feed.
