Muzz (dating app)
Muslim dating app
Muzz, formerly known as Muzmatch, is a Muslim-focused matchmaking and dating app founded in 2015 by Shahzad Younas. It is based in Aldgate, London. The app is designed to help Muslim singles find potential marriage partners while staying within their religious and cultural norms. With over 21 million users, Muzz claims to have facilitated 800,000 marriages.
History
In 2014, Younas quit his 9-year banking career at Morgan Stanley and taught himself how to code, investing all of his savings in starting up the business. He built the initial app himself.
Muzz was founded with an aim to provide a modern solution to Muslim matchmaking that respects Islamic values. It quickly gained traction, securing funding from Y Combinator and other investors. Significant milestones include hitting one million users in 2016, and rebranding from Muzmatch to Muzz in 2022 following a legal dispute.
The site employed a pay-as-you-go mechanism for its members.

Why this record matters
“Muzz (dating app)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Muzz, dating and Muslim provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q106610741. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2014, 2016 and 2022.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
