Creating an Oolfa account is the first serious step in your journey toward finding a faithful, compatible Muslim spouse. It shows your genuine intention to build a halal relationship based on Islamic principles. Joining the Oolfa community is simple and accessible, and once you complete your profile, you’ll be ready to search for someone who shares your values and life goals.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of creating your Oolfa account—from installing the app to uploading your profile photos—so you can begin your halal search with confidence.

Why Create an Account?

Before we begin, here’s what you’ll unlock when you create an Oolfa account:

  • Access to Muslim singles worldwide who are looking for marriage
  • Custom filters to help you find someone by age, nationality, sect, lifestyle, and more (for Gold members)
  • Private messaging features, including voice notes and photo sharing (for Gold members)
  • A respectful, Sharia-compliant space to search for your other half

4 Simple Steps to Create an Oolfa Account

Follow these steps to register and become part of the Oolfa Muslim marriage community.

Step 1: Install the Oolfa App

To begin, download the Oolfa app from your smartphone’s app store:

  • Android: Open Google Play Store, search “Oolfa,” and tap Install
  • iPhone: Open the App Store, search “Oolfa,” and tap GET (you may need to confirm with Face ID or Apple ID)

Step 2: Sign Up to the Oolfa App

To fully benefit from the Oolfa app on your mobile device, you must first sign up. The app offers several authentication providers, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your needs. Here’s an overview of these options:

  • Email Address: Enter your personal email and set a secure password. This is a flexible and independent option.
  • Facebook Account: Fast and simple—sign in through your Facebook. Don’t worry, Oolfa does not post to your timeline or message your friends.
  • Gmail Account: You can sign in directly with your Gmail credentials for a quick and seamless experience.

💡 You can link more than one sign-in method to your account later for added convenience.

Step 3: Verify Your Email

If you signed up using your email or Facebook account, you’ll need to verify your email before moving forward:

  1. Check your inbox for a verification message from Oolfa
  2. Click the confirmation button inside the email
  3. Once verified, return to the app and continue

💡 Didn’t receive the email? Check your spam folder or tap Resend Verification Email inside the app.

Step 4: Create Your Oolfa Profile and Photo Album

You’ve now reached the most important part—introducing yourself to the Oolfa community. A strong profile increases your chances of finding a compatible match.

Complete the First Step of Your Profile

You’ll begin by providing a few essential details to partially set up your account:

  • Your name
  • Your date of birth
  • Your gender
  • Languages you speak
  • Your countries of origin
  • A short bio about who you are and what you’re looking for

Be honest and clear. Profiles with thoughtful answers tend to receive more meaningful connections.

  • You can blur your album photos at any time from the settings screen to protect your privacy
upload images to your album
