Meet the Founders

Fatima A.

Back in 2011, I stepped into the world of online dating, hoping to find someone who shared my values and long-term goals. It was not easy—endless swiping, conversations that led nowhere, and a process that often felt more discouraging than hopeful. I wished there was a way to meet like-minded Muslims in a setting that was intentional, respectful, and true to what I was looking for.

Now, as someone who is married, I know firsthand how life-changing it is to find the right person. That’s why Chai to Chosen exists—to create the kind of space I wish I could turn to back then. A space where real connections happen naturally, without the noise, uncertainty, or pressure.

Marriage is about more than just compatibility on paper—it’s about finding someone who aligns with your faith, your vision, and your heart. I hope Chai to Chosen makes that journey easier for you, in a way that feels meaningful and true to who you are.

Fatima S.

As a 32-year-old Muslim woman, I know firsthand how challenging it is to find a partner who truly aligns with your faith, values, and intellect. Online dating can be exhausting, and many of the events out there don’t offer the kind of meaningful connections we’re looking for. It’s frustrating to sift through endless profiles or be judged based on surface-level traits when marriage is about so much more.

That’s why I wanted to create something different—an intentional space where like-minded Muslims can meet in a way that feels natural, respectful, and true to their values. Chai to Chosen is about shifting the focus from appearances and snap judgments to real conversations and genuine compatibility.

I hope this space allows you to meet someone who not only shares your beliefs but also your vision for the future. May Allah (SWT) bless you on this journey, and Insha’Allah, may it lead to something truly beautiful.

When I was searching for a life partner, the rishta (proposal) options my parents introduced me to looked great on paper—but something was always missing. The personality, the little nuances, the real connection. There wasn’t a space or a local event where I could meet someone in person and truly gauge if we were a good match.

In 2008, I met my husband through an online matchmaking platform. While it ultimately worked out, the process was overwhelming—filled with endless profiles, exhausting conversations, and people who weren’t always serious about marriage. I didn’t want to “date” for months; I wanted to have a meaningful conversation, see if we connected, and involve my family as soon as it felt right.

Now, after 13 years of marriage and two daughters, I want to make that process easier for others. Chai to Chosen was created to give like-minded Muslims a space to meet naturally—where faith, values, and real conversations come first.
