The #1 Marriage Appfor Practicing Muslims

32, 🇸🇴 Somali, Ontario, Canada

I move with purpose — faith in motion, Qur’an and Sunnah are my devotion. Honesty, humility — my quiet creed, learning, growing, planting good seed. Seeking a partner to walk this path, where trust meets deen, and our aim is the Hereafter’s aftermath.

I strive to live by the Qur'an and Sunnah with the understanding of the salaf, prioritizing my Deen. I'm committed to continuously educating myself about Islam and offering sincere guidance and support to those around me. I like to keep my lifestyle simple: I avoid unnecessary things and seek only halal educational entertainment (no movies, music, etc.) and beneficial knowledge through podcasts, videos, lectures and books. I love travelling, hiking and in general experiencing new things. I also enjoy cooking and baking, so I guess you can call me a foodie (yeah I probably can cook better than you 🤐 😅) Family is important: I prioritize being present for them and maintaining strong bonds with immediate relatives. I would expect the same from my spouse Insha'Allah. Kinship is a fundamental in our deen. Marriage is a journey that comes with it's challenges, but I genuinely believe with the right partner it can genuinely bring peace and tranquility, as if you're secured. Nobody is perfect (myself for sure) , we all have our shortcomings but if we work together to build a strong foundation that we can build our empire (metaphorically) on Insha'Allah. I'm sure everyone wants a supporting loving spouse who truly tries their best (not expecting perfection.) someone who they can come home to and know they're in a safe sound space. Communication is very important in my opinion as this allows both parties to express themselves in the best of manners. Allah azawajal said "Men are in charge of women1 by [right of] what Allāh has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allāh would have them guard. 4:34 Being open to Hijrah is something that should be taken into consideration as it is something I personally would like to explore Insha'Allah. I would also anticipate my wife to wear niqab as I follow the most authentic opinion which is niqab is compulsory. Please ensure wali/ family is involved. May Allah azawajal grant us all spouses who will bring coolness to our eyes. Jazakallah khair for taking your precious time.

Alhamdulillah, Islam is the foundation of my life and the lens through which I try to make all of my decisions. My greatest goal is to attain the pleasure of Allah and ultimately Jannah, so I am constantly striving to improve myself in my worship, character, and knowledge. I value a simple life and don't place much importance on material possessions or worldly status. Life is short, so I try to spend my time in ways that are beneficial, whether that's seeking knowledge, helping others, spending time with family, or working towards personal growth. Those closest to me would describe me as calm, easy-going, dependable, and caring. I believe good manners and kindness are essential parts of our deen, and I try my best to treat people with respect and sincerity. I am supportive of those I care about and value strong family relationships. I do not free-mix and do not maintain friendships with the opposite gender, as I prefer to keep my interactions within the boundaries of Islam.

Aishah رَضِيَ ٱللهُ عَنْهَا narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ❝Marriage is part of my Sunnah, and whoever does not follow my Sunnah has nothing to do with me...❞ [Ibn Majah 1846; Graded Sahih by Sheikh al-Albani رَحِمَهُ ٱلله in Silsalat as-Sahiha 2383] ━━━━ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكاتُه ━━━━ My goal is to find a righteous Muslima to form a loving marriage where we strive together for al-Firdaws al-A'la, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. There's lots to consider in this process and matching through vague descriptions can lead to wasted time or other complications. This profile includes the answers to preliminary questions that potential spouses usually ask each other, so I hope that these details will help to attract a more compatible match, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. Each section contains important and relevant information, so I humbly ask you to read all the way through. It's best to pass on me if we have completely different viewpoints, but I welcome a healthy conversation (through your Wali) to clarify any slight differences we may have. I'm open to sisters residing in Muslim countries and those in the USA. Hijrah is the ultimate goal, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. - 𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙈𝙚 - ◆ Muslim following the Qur'an and Sunnah upon the methodology and understanding of the Salaf (pious predecessors from the first three generations of Islam) ◆ Palestinian, born in Jordan, and raised in Virginia ◆ Small family consisting of my father, mother, and one younger brother ◆ Fluent in English and improving in Arabic ◆ No physical or mental disabilities - 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 - ◆ 6'1" (185 cm), 180 lbs (81 kg) ◆ Light complexion with a full black beard ◆ Mesomorphic build with proportional features ◆ Body fat between 10-12% ◆ Thinning 6mm hair with a receding hairline (between 3-4 on the Norwood scale) ◆ No tattoos or piercings - 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚 - ◆ Selectively social valuing deeper connections with family & close friends ◆ Never been into partying, smoking, hookah, alcohol, drugs ◆ Abstaining from TV, movies, music, nasheed, video games, mixed gatherings, birthdays, non-Islamic holidays ◆ Limited use of social media (YouTube, Telegram, & WhatsApp) only for seeking knowledge and staying in touch with Muslim brothers ◆ Morning person who's most productive during the earlier hours of the day ◆ Naturally neat and organized without burdening myself or those around me ◆ Emphasis on self-care through health & fitness ◆ Homebody who enjoys simplicity in pleasures and material possessions ◆ Reserved lifestyle rooted in routine - if you would describe yourself as a traveler, extroverted, outgoing, or spontaneous, then I may not be the best match for you - 𝙌&𝘼 - 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒂𝒉 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉? I'm open to meeting a potential spouse through the Muslim community in my area, but being limited to my locality feels restrictive. After relying on Allah ﷻ, I believe that exploring an option like Sunnah Match is part of doing my due diligence to get married. It's tough to ignore all of the success stories, and there are many unique advantages to seeking a spouse online. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒆? I picture a marriage full of compassion, empathy, mercy, and encouragement to be the best Muslims possible to enter al-Firdaws al-A'la together, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. The rights and responsibilities of the spouses should be directly derived from the Qur'an and Sunnah as opposed to cultural norms or arbitrary standards. The best relationship is one that always refers back to the Qur'an and Sunnah for guidance. ❝The greatest thing which requires cooperation between the spouses is for the home to be established upon the religion. And both spouses must be concerned with the religion and righteousness and they must assist each other upon the religion. This will bring about ease to the mind and contentment to the heart and the utmost tranquility to the home. I swear by the One who has my soul in His Hand, nothing brings about tranquility in the home of the spouses greater than the tranquility which is brought about by the spouses cooperating upon the obedience of the Lord of all that exists. If the spouses cooperate upon the religion and establish remembrance of Allah in their home, then the life of the home will be a good stable life.❞ -Sheikh Sulayman al-Ruhayli حَفِظَهُ ٱلله [Rights of the Spouses | pg. 65] ❝If a person says: What will make a man love his wife and vice versa? We say: Allah has clarified this in His statement: “And live with them honourably” [Qur'an 4:19] If every person lives with his wife honourably and vice versa, then love, a strong bond and a happy married life will be established.❞ -Sheikh ibn Uthaymeen رَحِمَهُ ٱلله [Fataawa Nur 'Alad-Darb; 6/29] I'm looking forward to investing deeply in my wife's happiness to ensure that she feels nourished and appreciated, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. A healthy marriage is one where both spouses are eager to fulfill each other's rights while being relatively lenient and merciful in demanding their own rights. Issues arise when only one, or neither spouse believes in this method. Having realistic standards and expectations is important for the longevity of marriage. I'm seeking a Muslima who understands that even the healthiest marriages will inevitably go through difficult times, within the relationship and through external trials. The key to getting through those challenges is fearing Allah ﷻ and frequently referring back to the Qur'an and Sunnah to prevent ourselves from committing oppression or injustice. If we aid each other in this approach, then each trial will strengthen our marriage and the love between us, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚? I pray all five compulsory prayers in congregation at the Masjid by the Will of Allah ﷻ. I'm grateful to Allah ﷻ for granting me the ability to do so, and I ask Him to preserve this blessing for me. Prayer should be prioritized when planning daily schedules, and I'm seeking a spouse who prays on time to naturally assist each other in worship, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄? Music is haram and I avoid it completely. Qur'an and music can't coexist in the heart; one will drive the other out. I fill my time with the Qur'an, Hadith, Islamic lectures, or books such as Kitab at-Tawhid, al-Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah, and others. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒊𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔? I aim to live a healthy lifestyle while maintaining a casual relationship with exercise and food to avoid obsessive behavior. I lift weights and do cardio 4-5 times per week in my small home gym where I enjoy privacy and being away from all of the impermissible things at the public facilities. I don't count or track calories and I'm not a picky eater, so I don't mind eating the same thing for multiple days in a row. I have a (well-managed) sweet tooth so I eat desserts in moderation on most days. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕? Yes, and I much prefer home-cooked food for health and cleanliness, ٱلْحَمْدُ لله. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒅? Our Prophet ﷺ ordered us to trim the moustache closely and spare the beard. [Sahih Muslim 259b] My beard is mostly straight with some bends and curls so it looks shorter at face value. I try to keep a healthy beard by staying hydrated and using beard oil daily, بِإذْنِ ٱلله. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆? ❝This is a fine thesis and a beneficial treatise, inshaAllah, which I have compiled in order to make clear the clothing that is incumbent upon the Muslim woman to wear when she goes out of her house and the conditions that she must fulfil in order for her garb to be Islamic. In doing so, I have relied on the Qur'an and Sunnah, being guided also by the traditions and sayings of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the Imams.❞ -Sheikh al-Albani رَحِمَهُ ٱلله [The Dress Code for the Muslim Women in the Qur'an and the Sunnah | pg. 21] The Sheikh رَحِمَهُ ٱلله outlines the following conditions to illustrate that the proper Islamic attire for women should: 1) Cover all of the body 2) Not be an adornment in and of itself 3) Be thick and not transparent or see-through 4) Be loose, not tight, to avoid describing any part of the body 5) Not be perfumed 6) Not resemble the clothing of men 7) Not resemble the dress of disbelieving women 8) Not be a garment of fame and vanity Regarding the niqab, I follow the opinion that it is mandatory: ❝The correct view as indicated by the evidence is that the woman's face is awrah which must be covered. It is the most tempting part of her body, because what people look at most is the face, so the face is the greatest awrah of a woman. This is in addition to the shar'i evidence which states that it is obligatory to cover the face.❞ -Sheikh Saleh Alfawzan حَفِظَهُ ٱلله [Fataawa al-Mar'ah al-Muslimah; 1/396, 397] ❝The hijab prescribed in shari'ah means that a woman should cover everything that it is haram for her to show, i.e., she should cover that which it is obligatory for her to cover, first and foremost of which is the face, because it is the focus of temptation and desire. A woman is obliged to cover her face in front of anyone who is not her mahram (blood relative to whom marriage is permanently forbidden). From this we learn that the face is the most essential thing to be covered. There is evidence from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet ﷺ and the views of the Sahabah and the Imams and scholars of Islam, which indicates that women are obliged to cover all of their bodies in front of those who are not their mahrams.❞ -Sheikh ibn Uthaymeen رَحِمَهُ ٱلله [Fataawa al-Mar'ah al-Muslimah; 1/ 391, 392] I'm seeking a spouse who follows the same opinion, and therefore, I don't find it appropriate for a sister to say that she'll wear the niqab after marriage, as obligations should be fulfilled in all stages of life. Looking for a woman who feels empowered by her modesty, appreciates the honor that Allah ﷻ has placed on her beauty, and understands the wisdom behind His Commandment. ❝There is no doubt that Islam came to give honor to the woman, guard her, protect her from the wolves of mankind, secure her rights, and raise her status.❞ -Sheikh ibn Baz رَحِمَهُ ٱلله [Fataawa ibn Baz | v. 4 pg. 308] Other expressions of modesty that I seek in my spouse are a soft-spoken tone, shyness, and no pictures taken except for necessity (passport or other forms of identification). 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔? Beauty is subjective, so instead of forming an expectation around physical traits, I choose to focus on intangibles that are more universally attractive. I'm seeking a sister who makes a sincere and reasonable effort to take care of herself through nutrition, light exercise (at home), and skin care. I appreciate a feminine sister who likes to beautify herself and dress up (at home). I truly believe that any Muslima who takes these measures will be attractive in her husband's eyes, regardless of her genetics. Above all, it's important to note that the most beautiful adornment is good أَخْلَاق⁩ and أَدَب⁩. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓? I don't have any friends or acquaintances of the opposite gender and I expect the same of my spouse. I only interact with women when it's absolutely necessary (like at work) and I maintain a business tone without being flirty or suggestive. I lower my gaze outside of the home in obedience to Allah ﷻ in hopes of earning His Pleasure. When possible, I try to run errands during the early morning hours to reduce the chances of being around women. I don't follow any women online, nor do I befriend anyone who posts pictures of women or speaks about them in a lewd manner. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒄𝒂𝒕? The following applies to pets in general, but I wanted to address cats specifically to politely explain why I would prefer not to have one in our home: Although cleaner than most animals, there's still a strong odor that emits from their litter box and a high possibility of najis (impurity) being found in other places of the home. Over time, the cost of a cat becomes difficult to justify, especially considering trips to the vet for shots or treating unexpected illnesses/injuries. These expenses can easily climb up to thousands of dollars, and that money is much better spent on my spouse, our children, or Muslims in need. The value of a cat diminishes greatly to those in relationships; things like affection, cuddling, gratitude, and playfulness are much better received through a loving spouse. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔? Culture should never interfere with the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Things like music and mixed gatherings have no place in the life of a Muslim, but these things have become common in many cultures around the world. I'm seeking a spouse and future in-laws who maintain the halal aspects of culture while leaving off that which is displeasing to Allah ﷻ. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒚𝒈𝒚𝒏𝒚? Polygyny is a right that Allah ﷻ gave to men, and I yearn to be in a marriage where my spouse and I strive to fulfill each other's rights. Women are delicate, soft, and sensitive, all of which are from their most endearing qualities, but these attributes can easily lead to an unhealthy level of insecurity and possessiveness. Polygyny can be difficult on a woman's emotions, no doubt, but this is a test from Allah ﷻ to see who will strive against their desires and submit fully to His Perfect Legislation. It's heartbreaking to see that many of our beloved sisters are failing this test miserably by opposing polygyny and adhering to western ideologies instead of following the way of the Salaf. ❝13. Disapproving of polygyny. This is from the calamities presented by the enemies of the Islamic legislation, because the legislation of Islam allows polygyny. And whatever the legislation allows, we receive it with submission, compliance and acceptance. As for disapproving of the man taking two wives or more, this only comes from someone who is ignorant or those affected with the doubts thrown into their hearts by the leaders of desires through the various means of communication.❞ -Sheikh Salih Al ash-Sheikh حَفِظَهُ ٱلله [Clarifying Common Mistakes Widespread Among the Muslims | pg. 158] ❝There are many benefits in plural marriage for the woman, as well as the man. However, the woman will perhaps turn a blind eye to them due to her desire, jealousy, and dislike for having a co-wife.❞ -Sheikh ibn Baz رَحِمَهُ ٱلله [The Beauty of Plural Marriage | pg. 20] (a short read full of gems and a great resource for any sister looking to rid her heart of ill feelings towards polygyny) Giving up the right to polygyny normalizes oppression in the relationship and harms every aspect of the marriage. It sets a dangerous precedent where insecurities and emotions are prioritized over the rights of the spouses, which will inevitably lead to other rights being neglected. There are times in a relationship where a spouse may (temporarily) give up his or her rights as a form of kindness and mercy, which is completely different than allowing the rights in marriage to be dictated by insecurities and western influence. On the other hand, there are rules and conditions for polygyny that brothers should know to ensure fairness in this practice. It's important to be with a spouse who would support me if the opportunity presented itself, and therefore, 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗴𝘆𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲, “𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲”. I'm looking for that special sister with the best intangibles and the strongest desire to submit herself to Allah ﷻ. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔? I understand the natural inclination to marry within one's own race for the sake of familiarity, shared language, etc, but it's important to acknowledge that we're living in a difficult time. It's tough to find a righteous spouse these days, especially in the west, and adding racial restrictions to marriage doesn't make things any easier. I believe we should welcome interracial marriages now more than ever to protect our Ummah from fitna. I'm more than willing to work through the unique challenges of an interracial marriage for a righteous spouse, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒆𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔? A simple Nikah at the Masjid and a small Walima in a private residence, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱلله. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒖𝒔𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒇𝒆? I'm seeking a Muslima with a passion for homemaking who sees the value in her husband being a provider/qawwam (قَوَّم). I do not wish for my spouse to work, full or part-time. Maintaining the home is vital to a healthy relationship, and it carries a hefty reward for those with the right intentions, but some sisters are excessively spending hours a day indulging in hobbies such as cooking, growing plants, or home decor. I'm seeking a wife who fulfills her obligations as a homemaker while practicing moderation to utilize her time for other things that would be of greater benefit, such as memorizing Qur'an, seeking knowledge, or spending quality time together in our relationship. Regarding the housework, there's a misconception amongst some of the Muslims who claim that the Prophet ﷺ used to help his wives with chores, such as cooking, sweeping, washing clothes, etc, citing the following Hadith to support their claim: Al-Aswad ibn Yazeed narrated that he asked Aishah رَضِيَ ٱللهُ عَنْهَا what the Prophet ﷺ used to do at home, and she replied: ❝He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was time for the prayer, he would get up for prayer.❞ [Sahih al-Bukhari 6039] The Prophet ﷺ did not perform the household tasks that are specifically associated with women. As for the service to his family, it refers to tasks that are customarily done by men or related to his personal needs, such as milking animals, repairing his own shoes, etc, which has been clarified in the Sunnah. As for cooking, sweeping, washing clothes, and similar tasks, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲. ❝The ‘service’ mentioned in the Hadith does not refer to tasks typically done by women, nor is it expected that the Mothers of the Believers (his wives) would approve or remain silent over the Prophet ﷺ doing such work in front of them.❞ -Sheikh Zain al-Din al-Iraqi رَحِمَهُ ٱلله [Tarh al-Tathreeb | v. 8 pg. 308] ❝As for a husband serving his wife by sweeping, cleaning, kneading dough, cooking food, washing clothes, spreading bedding, and performing other household duties, then this is inappropriate because Allah ﷻ has made the man a caretaker (qawwam) over the woman. If instead of the wife serving the husband, the husband begins serving the wife, it would imply that the wife is the one in authority.❞ -Sheikh ibn al-Qayyim رَحِمَهُ ٱلله [Zaad al-Ma'ad | v. 5 pg. 264] The husband is responsible for the major obligations, such as leading the family in the religion, working 40+ hours per week to ensure that they have ample provision, etc, while the wife enjoys motherhood safe from worrying about those affairs. It's not befitting for a wife to expect her husband to take on basic tasks which she is fully capable of doing herself and chores which are exclusively her responsibility.

28, 🇸🇴 Somali, Al Madinah al Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia

I am a 28-year-old Somali brother of Dutch nationality who strives to place Islam at the centre of every aspect of life. Alhamdulillah, I am patient, responsible, ambitious, and easy-going. I value honesty, loyalty, good character, and strong family ties. My aim is to continuously improve myself in both deen and dunya while remaining focused on seeking the pleasure of Allah. I believe marriage should be built upon mercy, trust, communication, and helping one another grow closer to Allah. I am currently in Malaysia for one month InshAllah.

I've been described as calm, easygoing, and reserved. I'm a revert who has been practicing Islam for four years, and bi 'idhnillāhi can speak Fusha Arabic and am currently studying Islamic sciences full-time.

24, 🇵🇰 Pakistani, New Jersey, United States

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ I am a practicing Muslim and someone who is serious about building a marriage upon deen, mercy, respect, and tranquility. By the blessing of Allah, I am financially stable, work from home, and have a flexible schedule. I am not looking for a 50/50 marriage. I strongly believe in the Islamic model of a husband providing, protecting, and leading, and a wife being honored in her role as a wife, mother, and homemaker. I am looking for someone who genuinely wants that lifestyle, not someone who feels forced into it. Personality-wise, I would describe myself as patient, lighthearted, easygoing, and calm. I am rarely in a bad mood, and people close to me will almost always see me smiling. I do not like harshness or unnecessary conflict. I believe respect is one of the foundations of marriage, and I try my best to be fair, just, and mindful of the rights of others. I value open and honest communication. I would love to have a wife who is comfortable expressing her feelings respectfully, and who wants us to grow together emotionally, spiritually, and as a family. I have been seeking Islamic knowledge for around 3 years, though my journey has not been consistent. My long-term goal is to continue studying seriously and, in shā’ Allāh, become a stronger student of knowledge. I would love for my wife and I to learn together, remind each other of Allah, travel for the sake of knowledge, and raise children upon the Qur’an and Sunnah. I currently work in a halal family business that my brothers and I helped build by the grace of Allah. I co-founded it in high school, and by the grace of Allah, it has grown into a successful multi-million-dollar business since then. Alḥamdulillāh, Allah has blessed me with stability, but I recognize that all rizq is from Him alone and not from my own power. Some things I enjoy: Islamic lectures, Seerah, history documentaries, traveling for knowledge, hiking, coding (and occasional vibe-coding), late-night drives, spending time with family, and occasionally playing simple games like sudoku or minesweeper. I am a father and I have a precious 1-year old from my previous marriage. Alḥamdulillāh by the grace of Allah, I have also never gotten involved with common vices like alcohol, drugs, haram relationships. A fun fact about me is I am 2% Italian and 98% Pakistani (DNA test) 🍝🍕
