What is Naseeb Odds?

Naseeb Odds is a just-for-fun Muslim marriage odds calculator. It starts with every Muslim in the United States and narrows the pool as you add what you're looking for: brothers or sisters, age, ethnicity, height, marital status, education, income, prayer, sect and more. Every filter shrinks the circle of people, so you can see how rare your perfect match really is.

How the numbers work

Instead of multiplying separate percentages, Naseeb Odds models US Muslims so that traits go together the way they do in real life: high earners are mostly degree holders, immigrants are more often married, and young women are more likely than young men to have finished college. The model is tested against every published figure it uses. The results are rough estimates for fun, not facts about any real person.

Frequently asked questions

How many Muslims live in the United States?

Estimates range from about 3.45 million (Pew Research Center, 2017) to 4.5 million (US Religion Census, 2020), with some newer estimates higher. Naseeb Odds uses 4.5 million by default, and the Conservative and Generous settings show the range.

Is Naseeb Odds a matchmaking or rishta app?

No. It doesn't collect profiles or introduce anyone. It's a calculator that estimates how many people match a set of preferences, meant for fun and conversation.

Where do the numbers come from?

Pew Research Center surveys of US Muslims (2017 and 2023–24), the ISPU American Muslim Poll (2025), the US Religion Census (2020), the US Census Bureau and National Center for Education Statistics, CDC height measurements, and Bureau of Labor Statistics earnings data. Traits are modeled together, so combinations stay realistic.

How many single Muslims are there in America?

About 1.34 million Muslim adults in the US are not currently married: roughly 755,000 men and 587,000 women. Single brothers outnumber single sisters by about four to three at every stage of the usual marrying years.

What are the chances of marrying again after a divorce?

About two thirds of Americans who divorce go on to remarry, at 68% of men and 64% of women (Pew Research Center). Among adults aged 25 to 54, divorced women are now about as likely as men to have remarried.

Does Naseeb Odds save my search?

It keeps an anonymous tally of the searches people run, such as the age ranges and filters they pick, to see which filters are most popular. It never records who made a search: no names, accounts, IP addresses or cookies. If you answer the optional brother or sister question, that answer is counted too.
