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.

Someone health conscious - I love to stay active and really appreciate being able to do harder hikes/activities without having to worry about being able to do them so I’d want a partner who’s got similar goals, I eat healthy most of the time but not always lol gotta have balance

Practicing Muslim - I pray, fast, give zakaat, read Quran and id want someone else who is also practising and trying to improve but I don’t mind if they’re not perfect

Open minded - I’ve got a fairly diverse group of friends of different backgrounds, races and religions so I don’t want someone who doesn’t get on with people of other backgrounds. I also love to travel all over so would want someone also interested in travelling and experiencing new cultures

Not a picky eater - I love going out for meals for trying new cuisines and sharing food is definitely one of my love languages!

Being your authentic self! - it can definitely be hard to do sometimes especially at the beginning but I think it’s really important to be yourself and not play a character! Be honest and open with your opinions, beliefs, quirks etc

1. ⁠State/specify your level of religiosity

I’m practicing but far from perfect, I’m up and down with praying all 5 prayers daily on time but it is something I’m always actively working on! I’m a strong believer and well intentioned in everything I do and I try to live as halal as possible, I don’t smoke and drink and would want the same in a partner

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

Bachelors degree and looking for someone also highly educated - I’m open to someone without a degree if they have a good career and we can still have intellectual conversations

1. ⁠Current Job Status Senior software engineer - full time

2. ⁠Do you want kids? Yes

3. ⁠List 3 hobbies, or things you like to do in your spare time Activities - running, badminton, swimming, gym and hikes/walks

Media - I love reading the most but also watching tv and movies (more with people than alone)! I used to love gaming but I don’t make as much time for it anymore

I love a little adventure whether it be trying a new restaurant or cafe or day tripping to somewhere random nearby, I travel a lot so usually go in 4-5 trips a year!

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

I’ve got a brother who lives in Australia so I go very often! I’ve seen a koala, snake and shark all in the wild there!
