AI + moderators

AI-assisted. Human-approved.

MAWADDAH uses a compatibility engine to help identify suitable profiles across religious values, personality, family expectations, lifestyle, life goals, preferences, and dealbreakers. These suggestions are neversent directly to users. They are first reviewed by trusted human moderators.

1. AI suggests

Profiles are compared on dīn, values, family expectations, personality, location, lifestyle, and stated dealbreakers.

2. Moderators review

A trusted moderator reads both sides, checks compatibility and seriousness, and decides whether to forward the suggestion.

3. You receive only approved introductions

No catalogue. No browsing. Only considered, mutually-relevant introductions arrive in your inbox.

What the AI is — and what it is not

  • It is a structured compatibility tool that reads the data you submitted.
  • It is not a chatbot. AI never messages another user on your behalf.
  • It does not replace istikhārah, family consultation, or your own judgement.
  • It cannot introduce you to anyone — only a moderator can.

What the AI looks at

Practising level, school of thought, prayer & lifestyle
Marriage expectations and timeline
Family expectations and walī involvement
Personality and conflict style
Education, work, language, location
Children: existing and desired
Stated dealbreakers — strictly respected
Compatibility of life goals

Your data, your boundaries

Sensitive fields are optional and access-controlled. AI processing happens on profile data you submitted — never on private family conversations or call content, because MAWADDAH does not host messaging or calling between candidates. Your data is never sold, never shared with advertisers, and never exposed publicly.

The 100-point compatibility model

Each suggestion is scored out of 100 across eight categories. Hard dealbreakers are checked before scoring — a profile with absolute dealbreaker conflicts is not surfaced unless a senior moderator manually overrides.
