Saratu & Hayatudeen matched in December 2024.

He sent the first like, and she matched with him shortly after.

His first message was a simple ‘Salaam’, as is often the case.

Unfortunately, being busy with work in the lead-up to the winter break, and slowly having lost hope in ever finding anything serious, she’d stopped checking her messages and contemplated deleting the app.

So he waited.

Days passed and it looked as though he would never hear back from her, until by chance, she felt the urge to check just one more time. She saw his message almost a week later and, feeling uniquely drawn to him, finally replied.

And so their story began.

He was living in Nigeria, while she was in Scotland, so their week-long exchange of messages on Muzz quickly turned into long conversations on the phone, allowing them to get to know each other from a distance despite the geographical limitations.

She was impressed by his consistency and they soon found themselves chatting about life, dreams, faith and what they wanted from marriage.

It felt like fate. Everything was aligned and for the first time, they both knew that they had found someone to take the next step with.

She was due to fly to Nigeria to visit family later that month, so the plan to meet was set.

They came face to face for the first time at the airport, and despite never having seen each other in person, they felt a sense of comfort and familiarity that surpassed anything that they had experienced before.

The rest of the trip was spent visiting family and friends, sharing Iftar meals together and developing their bond in the presence of loved ones.

Soon after, their parents met, and with the blessing of both families they planned to be wed in June.

She returned home to Glasgow a day later, only to fly back the following month for their Nikah.

“Thanks to Muzz , I met my soul mate. JazakAllah khair to the founder & Muzz team”

Fi Dunya, Wa Fil Akhirah, Insha’Allah.
