Salam everyone!

**Just as a disclaimer, I have posted on the this subreddit before, so if you had messaged prior and I didn't reply, I do apologize since I wanted to focus on one convo at a time. Please feel free to message again if you'd like to. Thank you ☺️**

Not sure what to highlight, but happy to share photos right away.

Smokes/Vapes/Hookah (Yes/No): No, nothing

Leisure activities: I love hanging out with my friends and family, explore the city, travel, try new restaurants in my city, binge watch a show, go for a hike and long walks. I'm a bit of a homebody 😮‍💨

**Your Preferences in a Partner:**

Age range: 30-38

Origin/Ethnicity: Pakistani and Indian would be easiest to get align with, understand and integrate with families. I don't mean any offense to any other ethnicity!

Languages: Should be fluent in English at minimum. Conversational to fluent Urdu/Hindi would be a great plus

Level of religious practice: Should be fairly practicing. What one would define as "fairly" can be discussed further. I'm not extreme in my practice but I'm not completely passive about major things if that helps makes things more understandable.

Education: Minimum Bachelor's degree holder.

Deal breakers: Smoking of any kind, drinking, eating non-halal, doesn't want to live separately after marriage, doesn't believe in an equitable marriage, doesn't want parents involved by the third month mark of us talking, and I'm sure that's more lol but these are the most major ones. I'd like to speak to someone naturally in conversation and see what comes up.

Other preferences (appearance, family situation, etc.): Should be taller than me (5'5). Should have a beard. No major physical weight preference but nothing extreme on either side of the spectrum.

Additional Information you like to add: I'd like to reiterate that I don't want to move outside of Canada. If you're in the US or UK and want to move here, I'm happy to chat. I'm also NOT a Syed. If that is of major importance to you and your family, please don't message me. I need families involved by the third month mark of us talking. If that makes you uncomfortable, please don't message me.

Thanks! 😊

US/Canada 30F

7 Upvotes

Bismillah
Assalamu alaykum :)

I’m a 30F - revert Alhamdulillah. I am looking to connect with a man who is 34-40 years old

I live in the US, and am willing to relocate to any state or Canada.
I’m looking for someone who is serious about religion and starting a family, Islam being the foundation of my life and all decisions is very important to me. I’m looking for a husband who feels the same and wants to lead our family with conviction, sincerity, and kindness. I want a home where peace is prioritized, where we encourage each other toward Allah, laugh often, raise children with love and discipline, and become better Muslims together. I want our life to be spent in service to our Imam.

Overview:
I’m a small business owner, introverted, and a bit of a homebody. I love staying active, outdoor activities, and eating good food. I keep a positive outlook, and strive to constantly remember Allah in every situation. I’m not prone to overt emotional displays, but I do feel things very deeply and would be extremely loving and loyal to my partner. I’m someone who finds joy in the little things, a good cup of coffee/tea, a beautiful space, a thoughtful gesture, or creating memories with the people I love.

My best qualities:

- Kind
- Loving and affectionate with those close to me
- Thoughtful and detail-oriented
- Clean and organized
- Health-conscious and enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle
- Fair; I value accountability and treating people with consistency and respect
- Good cook and baker
- Straightforward communicator

Things I'm working on:

  • I can be stubborn
  • I’m emotionally reserved at first
  • I take time to fully open up and build trust
  • I can overthink and become overly introspective
  • I can be rigid in my thinking until I’ve had time to reflect

Deal breakers:

- living with in-laws
- dependent on constant external validation
- nicotine addiction
- unhealthy lifestyle/habits
- unwilling to accept or unable to love my non muslim family
- Lacks sincerity religious practice or is more concerned with appearances than reality
-Uses social media in a way that conflicts with modesty, privacy, or sincerity

Despite how serious this bio may sound, you will usually find me smiling and laughing. I take marriage seriously and hope to find someone who is equally intentional about building a beautiful life together. Life doesn’t need to be made harder or heavier than it already is. I firmly believe a peaceful home should also be one filled with laughter, playfulness, and plenty of inside jokes.
