Who it is for
A marriage is never just two people. Choose who you are, and read the part written for you.
Why Eelaf
Every member submits a private live photo for review. A government ID adds the stronger ID Verified badge. Pending members are marked as pending, so you always know where someone stands.
By default, your photos are blurred for everyone, even a match — you show them clearly to a single member at a time, from the chat. Prefer them to open on their own? Choose after you match, or once you send an interest. Change it any time.
Name a wali and he gets his own read-only link. No account, no password, nothing to install. You can end his access at any moment, and he is told when you do.
Nobody here is sending fifty. A conversation opens only when both of you accept.
Messages that push off the platform or ask for money are held for review before they reach anyone.
No tier lets anyone message you who could not before, and nobody can pay to appear above a better-suited member.
Tell the matchmaker what you are looking for, and hear back on WhatsApp. Members who fit are asked in the app, without your name. Only when both of you say yes does the conversation open, marked “It’s mutual”.
A no is never shown to the other side.
How it works
The difference
| Typical dating app | Eelaf | |
|---|---|---|
| Profile verification | Optional, if at all | Every profile |
| Who sees your photos | Everyone | You decide |
| Your family | Not part of it | A read-only wali view |
| Messages | Unlimited, often paid | A few interests a week, never paid per message |
| Asked for money or your number | Arrives | Held for review |
| What it is for | Dating | Marriage |
For the family
A page written for parents and walis: what he can see, what he cannot, and why your photos stay private.
Questions
Every answer is in the Help centre, in English and Arabic.
No. Eelaf is for Muslims who intend to marry. There is no paying to message and no endless swiping for interests: you get a limited number each week, a conversation opens only when both of you accept, and your wali can follow along if you choose.
Every member submits a private live photo for review. A government ID can be added later for the stronger ID Verified badge.
You decide, from Settings. By default, only members you have matched with. You can also show them to members you send an interest to, or keep them blurred for everyone until you choose to show them. Inside a conversation you can show or hide your photos for that member, at any time. Every photo is checked before it appears.
He gets a private read-only link by email, with no account or app needed. He can read your conversations, including ones that started before you added him, but he can never write, reply or act for you. You can remove him at any time, and he is told when you do.
Joining is free, and a free membership includes everything Eelaf is for, with three interests a week. Eelaf Gold is an optional subscription: twenty interests a week, seeing who viewed your profile, going back to a profile you passed, choosing to be seen only by other Gold members, and asking for a personal introduction. No plan lets anyone message you who could not before, and nobody can pay to appear above a better-suited member.
From Settings in the app. You can request a copy of your data at any time, and closing your account removes your profile, photos and messages from Eelaf straight away.
