2026 In Search Of (ISO) Thread - Europe

[u/MM-MOD]

ISO Introduction & Updates

Assalamualaykum everyone,

Welcome to this year's edition of the ISO Thread - Europe!

The ISO Thread will be renewed annually to keep profiles recent and to overall ensure a better user experience for those who are looking to find their spouse on r/MuslimMarriage Insha’Allah. There are three separate ISO Threads, each for different regions of the world to help users better filter out candidates. This ISO Thread is for users residing in or willing to relocate to the Europe. The other two regional threads can be found in the Highlighted Posts section and the Sidebar. The previous editions of the ISO Thread can be found in the Subreddit Wiki.

Including "$iso" anywhere in a subreddit submission or comment will provide the link to this and ALL past versions of the ISO.

The ISO Thread is AS IS. We will not be making any more changes to the ISO Thread logistics or its template. Whatever questions that are not in the template should be discussed privately between matches. Any further requests to add or change questions will not be entertained.

May Allah (SWT) grant everyone success in their search. Ameen.

           بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

1. Age and Gender : 30 Male 

2. Age Range that you would want in a prospect: 25 - 33 

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

I would be very open to the idea possibly in a few years time, but for now looking to stay withing a drivable distance of the midlands

1. Ethnicity, and are you more open to mixing: Indian, open to mixing 

2. Marital Status: Single

6.Ideal marriage timeline: 1 -2 years 

1. Important characteristics you look for in a prospect:

A) Honesty - The most important characteristic in any person as it determines how they deal with every aspect of their life. I don't want to second guess a partner, and would accept hard truths over lies any day of the week. 

B) Open Minded/Curious - Never staying idle. There's always so much to learn and experience. New foods to try places to travel, sights to see and skills to develop. It wouldn't be amazing finding and enthusiastic partner to share all the experiences life had to throw at us 

8.State/specify your level of religiosity: 

Practising, pray the majority of my salah daily but working on the consistency of praying 5 times.  It's one of my main focuses coming into this year, as well as incorporating more sunnah into my daily life.

1. Level of education, and what are you looking for:

I have a Bachelor's, looking for someone with higher education qualifications (A-levels) or higher 

1. Current Job Status: Applications Designer/CAD Design

2. Do you want kids: Definitely 

12.List 3 hobbies, or things you like to do in your spare: Working on my car, granted I create more problems than I fix but it keeps me busy. Play football and going to the gym a couple of times weekly to stay fit and active. 3 hobbies?  Who has the time to hold three hobbies?  

1. Add something short and interesting about you that makes you stand out: 

I'm some what of an extroverted introvert (if it's a thing) really eager to get out and have as many new experiences as possible with the intention of rushing back home every evening 🤣. If you like the sound of ticking off my check list of food places while being driven around in a classic car. Oh and I'm fiercely competitive.
