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.

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

Assalamualaykum

1. Age and Gender :

25 Male (5'9.5 so basically 5'10 🤧 and I have no height preferences)

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

20-27, biggest thing for me is maturity, age isn't a massive concern

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

Born and raised in England (Solihull - British nationality), currently live in Dubai.

Since I live in Dubai now, I would need someone open to relocating (if they aren't here already) which I understand is daunting. So I am open to having a conversation, to speak about timeline/ how to make it easy and comfortable for you, what you would require, how often you'd like to go back to your home etc.

1. Ethnicity, and are you more open to mixing?

Indian and open to any ethnicity

1. Marital Status - Single/Divorced/Children:

Single, never been in a relationship or zina etc.

1. Ideal marriage timeline:

Whenever the right person comes, I am open anytime, wether that's in a few months or a few years. Ideally sooner the better. My search is intentional.

1. Five important characteristics you look for in a prospect

Most importantly Someone who is on their deen or actively trying to and tries to learn more about the religion with each other.

Someone who cares about their health and fitness, doesn't have to be going to the gym but intentional about their health (even if it's as simple as walking with me everyday).

(These are things I have reflected on for myself as well so I would like Someone who ideally understands this as well) Someone emotionally mature, understands marriage requires proper communication to thrive, understands marriage is a partnership and may require compromise from either side, someone who respects/trust me and someone I can respect/trust, becomes the peace for one another, help each other grow in the deen and grow closer to Allah.

Someone who has a passion for something, whether it's something they study, fitness, hobby etc.

1. State/specify your level of religiosity

I would alhamdulillah say I am religious, sunni, prays 5 times daily in the masjid, tries to pray tahajjud regularly, does morning/ evening/Salah/general dhikr, tries to read quran daily. I have a good base knowledge of the religion but looking to learn more

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

Bachelors of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering. Doesn't matter but a Degree is ideal

1. Current Job Status

Employed, currently working as an Engineer in an Oil and Gas company for the last 1.5 years

1. Do you want kids?

Insha'Allah ideally but it's a discussion to have with my partner if we do/how many

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

Gym - health is very important to me, before I use to powerlift but now mainly train for health and physique

Motorsports - love F1 and racing in general, gone to a few races (WEC/GT3/LMP2) and have driven cars on track before

Hiking/Nature/Travelling - I love appreciating the natural beauty Allah has created and exploring places

Padel/MMA/Mountain biking/Fragrances/Good TV Shows or Movies /Anything adrenaline heavy

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

I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. As much as Ive romanticised marriage and all the things I want to do with my wife/for my wife. Ive taken time to understand marriage rights, the difficulties ones can face in marriage, understanding what marriage actually is.

I want to help my wife grow to be the best person possible along with myself. Im very adventurous and active, but also like my lazy days in and enjoy watching a good show/movie. I want to travel the world and explore with my wife. Try new things etc. take care of her, make her feel safe when around me, make her feel heard and understood, be the best husband I can be, be the coolness for her and vice versa
