History
Throughout Islamic History, the Khattaba has played a vital role as a matchmaker within Muslim communities. This tradition has endured for centuries, facilitating successful marriages for countless Muslims while upholding cherished Islamic family values and customs. Inspired by this timeless practice, the AlKhattaba app was created. It empowers traditional Khattavas by integrating cutting-edge technology, making matchmaking more affordable, reliable, and accessible - all while safeguarding the sanctity of Islamic values and culture.
Founding Recognizing a significant gap in the online matchmaking market for Arabs and Muslims, AlKhattaba was founded in 2012.
