Embark on an intimate odyssey with us, Hiba and Zaid, as we recount the emotional voyage that not only led to the union of our hearts but also the birth of our shared vocation as matchmakers. Our story weaves through the labyrinth of seeking love within the Muslim community, where faith, patience, and a sprinkle of digital-age trials come to life. We strip back the layers of our nine-year-long journey—peppered with hope, rejection, and divine intervention—as we reveal the singular message that brought our worlds colliding together. As we share the chronicles of our long-distance romance, you’ll find yourself rooting for our cross-continental love and the whirlwind ‘nikah’ that followed, all culminating in a fateful meeting in Chicago.

Step behind the velvet rope into the often unseen realm of matchmaking, where we share our narrative alongside the emotional landscape of connecting souls in pursuit of companionship. Each match is a dance of compatibility and intuition, and we’re pulling back the curtain to share the heartfelt wisdom gleaned from our own experiences. As we extend an invitation to join our ongoing conversation, your curiosities, and stories become a part of this tapestry, enriching future episodes with the very essence of what it means to seek and find love. So, tune in, as we traverse the tender and triumphant moments of matchmaking, and perhaps, discover something about your own journey along the way.
