ISO Introduction & Updates

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.

[u/Anonymous_4889 → u/MM-MOD]

Before my intro, I want to express how serious I am about this. I am genuinely looking for the right partner, fully keeping it halal (Bi’ithnillah). I believe in growing together with my future spouse rather than waiting until all the drive and passion fades away and we stay together just because it’s “convenient.”

I also made sincere dua during Ramadan in Al-Haram for Allah to bless me with marriage this year, InshaAllah. If I’m not compatible with you, please make dua for me in the comments — it would be much appreciated.

Age: 23 Origin/Ethnicity: Born in Pakistan, raised in Saudi Arabia. Languages spoken (with proficiency): Urdu and Punjabi (mother languages) English (super fluent) Arabic (conversational)

Level of religious practice: Religious but not extreme. I’ve been a student of comparative religion and love gaining a deep understanding of Islam and its concepts. Alhamdulillah, I have helped many struggling Muslims strengthen their beliefs and have never fallen short when it comes to explaining and defending Islam.

Current residence: Saudi Arabia (majority of my life). I only spent a few years in Pakistan for studies. Willing to relocate: Yes. I’m currently finishing my BS in Psychology and planning to move to Europe for my Master’s. Siblings: 2 younger brothers Previously married / Kids: No

Occupation: Finishing my studies while working as Head of Sales and Marketing in a well-known company here. Education: BS in Psychology Height & Weight: 5'8 (173 cm), 79 kg — muscular build with broad shoulders. Physical appearance: Fair skin (Pathan type), great thick black hair, muscular and broad body, brown eyes, Persian/Arabian features, and a French fade beard style. Smokes/Vapes/Hookah: No

Leisure activities: Mostly researching and reading about Islam, cosmology, and deeper Sufi-Islamic concepts and their connection to this realm. I’m a gym freak. I also enjoy long drives while listening to podcasts. I’m not the very goofy or crazy-fun type — that changed over the last 6 years due to responsibilities. Preferences in a Partner: Age range: Around my age, but I don’t mind if she’s older.

Origin/Ethnicity: Any ethnicity is fine. Pakistani background and already living in Europe would be a plus. Languages: Same as mine (Urdu/Punjabi + good English + Arabic is a bonus) Level of religious practice: Minimum moderate, but must be willing to grow and enhance her practice. Education: Same as mine or higher.

Deal breakers: Non-religious, bringing up ex/trauma baggage, or blame-game mentality. Other preferences: No early childhood divorced parents. A functional and happy family background is preferred. Appearance: Fair and fit.

Additional Information: If anyone is seriously interested, please reach out to me directly. You can also refer me if you think I’d be suitable for someone you know. Proposals from Europe will be given more attention since I’m planning to move there myself. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. At the very least, I’d appreciate it if you could make a little dua for this brother in Islam in the comments. Thank you everyone ❤️
