1. Build a profile with enough signal
A serious introduction needs more than photos and a short bio. Maktub profiles are designed to cover religious practice, family context, education and work, location, lifestyle, children, and marriage timeline. You control what you share within the product’s required fields and privacy settings.
Matching uses stated preferences and compatibility signals. It is an introduction—not a verdict, guarantee, or substitute for your own judgment.
2. Receive curated introductions
Instead of an endless catalogue, Maktub plans to show a small number of introductions each day. Locality and core preferences narrow the pool; compatibility information helps explain why someone may be relevant.
Fewer introductions create space to read a profile properly. The goal is not to maximize time in the app. It is to make each introduction easier to consider.
3. Send a Salaam, then wait for mutual interest
If a profile resonates, you can send a personalized Salaam. There is no conversation until the interest is mutual. Photos remain blurred until both people express interest, placing values and intentions before appearance.
A mutual Salaam opens messaging with the profile still available for context. Reporting and blocking controls support boundaries when a conversation is not appropriate.
4. Move forward with clarity
Maktub can facilitate an introduction, but people and families determine what happens next. Wali Mode is planned to support different levels of guardian involvement. Users should still verify information, ask difficult questions, involve trusted people, and take sensible offline safety precautions.
