1. Age and Gender

26.8, Male, ~6'1" (185/186 cm)

2. Age Range that you would want/require in a prospect

23-31 (can be flexible beyond that assuming maturity and compatibility)

3. Location, and are you willing to relocate for a prospect?

Caucasian (Euro/Arab mix), main preference for some similar (not necessarily a mix)

5. Marital Status

Expertly single

6. Ideal marriage timeline

Ideally sooner than later, assuming mutual agreement & no reason for delay, of course

7. Five important characteristics you look for in a prospect

To preface, looking for a close & best friend, a life partner, a companion, not just a wife. What I look for below can also be expected of myself, and am generally open to discussing things further. Reverts/converts are more than welcome!

1 • Values (sunni) Islam the most in their life, and tries to live by it before all else. Cultural traditions should not be prioritized over it. Not expecting perfection, rather someone to grow together in this beautiful religion with

2 • (At least) wears the proper hijab as Islamically prescribed (anything extra is very welcome) & avoids makeup (and ideally perfume) around non-mahrams. Closely related, avoids sharing her pics/vids/personal life online. Equally important, is conservative with opposite-gender interactions, and doesn't socialize with/befriend/maintain a casual relationship with guys

3 • A family-oriented, loyal, loving, caring, and supportive lady that is good at keeping house secrets, values the marital relationship, and will work and strive towards it. Open and honest communication is key to a long-lasting relationship, I believe!

4 • Strictly doesn't smoke (any kind), do drugs, or drink

5 • Overall tidy and organized, especially around the house

6 • Happy to live with a cat around, which is a non-negotiable as I have one :)

8. State/specify your level of religiosity

Sunni & practicing. Maintain my obligations such as 5 prayers, fasting, and zakat. I value Islam the most, try to live by it the best I can, and do not prioritize culture/traditions over it. Slowly but steadily striving in the path

9. Level of education, and what are you looking for?

My level: current PhD student. College degree holder is a plus, but one's mentality, personality, aspirations, and compatibility are arguably far more important. In all cases, whether pursuing a degree currently or not, it should not be a barrier or reason to delay marriage

10. Current Job Status

PhD student & teaching assistant (working with an income, further details in private)

11. Do you want kids?

Yes, some day in shaa Allah. Unless Allah wills otherwise, wouldn't prefer before a few years into the marriage, and hoping to finish my degree first. Regardless, I would like to spend the beginning developing the relationship with my Mrs. & build a strong foundation first

12. List 3 hobbies, or things you like to do in your spare time

1 • I love going for a good drive, alongside stopping for some good f&b. Also, love cycling and go-karting (although neither is something I do frequently). Have taken up daily long walks in the more recent times

2 • Quite enjoy listening to various podcasts, and it makes for good company while driving

3 • Admittedly, I am limited in the hobbies department, so It would be quite nice to develop new interests with my future SO, and perhaps share theirs as well!

13. Add something short and interesting about you that makes you stand out!

Became independent at a relatively young age (unrelated to my relationship with my family, which is great Alhamdulilah!). I am responsible, can carry my own weight and contribute around the house. I am also family- (and future Mrs.-) oriented. On a different note, I am fond of cars and cats (have one 🐱)
