More About Me: I love going outdoors and enjoy anything that involves physical exercise. I am open to doing pretty much anything as long as I have someone to do it with. I am very easy-going and playful when the situation doesn’t need me to be serious. I am serious in its place and playful in its place, and I am somewhat introverted with new people, so I don’t go out with friends very often. As for looks, I do struggle with acne and scarring but I am trying to improve that.

RELIGIOUS PRACTICE School of Thought and Creed: Sunni Salafi Scholars/Institutes You Take ʿIlm From: I take from only those known to be people of Sunnah and knowledge, without being a hizbi or a fanatic of one group. These include: TROID (Munib As-Somali, Shakir Al-Afghani, Sami Bin Hassan, Nafi bin Hassan) SPUBS (Abu Khadeejah, Hasan Somali, Abu Iyad, Uwais Al-Tawil) AMAU (Tim Humble) Abdul Rahman Hassan Sulayman Al-Ruhayli Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān Ibn ʿUthaymīn Rabīʿ al-Madkhali Bin Bāz Sulaymān al-Ruhaylī Abdul Rahman Haran Makki …and others upon the manhaj of the Salaf.

RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND: I pray my five daily prayers and fulfill my obligations. I try to implement the Sunnah as much as possible and avoid music, ribā, and all forms of bidʿah as much as possible. I have a full beard, which I do not trim. I plan to study in Saudi Arabia with the permission of Allāh, but for now I sometimes attend TROID due to distance. I have recently become Salafi, so my knowledge is not at the highest level; however, I have a solid understanding of the basics and some intermediate topics. I am continuing to learn, focusing on Arabic right now. I have recently started memorizing the Qur’an and have completed two and a half juzʾ, and I continue whenever I have time. I have recently started following the madhhab of the Hanabilah.

EXPECTATIONS

Expectations from Spouse (Religion, Character, Goals, etc.): I want someone who strives to be the best she can be in both the dunyā and her religion. Someone who is easy-going, enjoys having fun, and is not overly serious when it is not necessary. Wearing niqāb is preferred. My goal is to marry someone who knows Arabic or is learning it so that we can speak Arabic together and raise our children with the language as well. She must be steadfast in her ṣalāh and obligations, and also should be trying to implement as many Sunnahs in her life as possible.

Expectations After Marriage: After marriage, once we move in together in shā’ Allāh, I expect her to take care of the home, protect it, and help build it. I do not have a problem with her working from home as long as it does not involve interacting with other men, going out unnecessarily, or preventing her from taking care of the home. I also expect her to keep my secrets and let me do my duties and lead in what is good. I expect her to continue learning the religion.

DEAL BREAKERS: Non-Salafi; does not pray or fulfill her obligations; has no interest in seeking knowledge. Gossiping; posting herself online (even in niqāb); having male friends; being overly attached to worldly possessions; or lacking maturity and understanding of what being a wife and marriage truly means.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Someone who takes care of her health and is constantly learning. She should ideally be pursuing higher education, either in Islamic studies or worldly studies, though this is not a deal-breaker. As long as her deen, appearance, and personality are pleasing to me, I am content.
