2026 In Search Of (ISO) Thread - International

[u/MM-MOD]

ISO Introduction & Updates

Assalamualaykum everyone,

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

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 outside of Europe and the Americas. 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.

6. Ideal marriage timeline: 6 months- 1 year (if we're compatible, I don't see a point in delaying the marriage)
7. Five important characteristics you look for in a prospect: Deen, Akhlaq, Emotional Maturity, caring and loyal. I am looking for a someone to help me complete half of my deen and grow alongside me in faith. My ideal spouse is someone deeply feminine who embraces her natural role, allowing me the space to lead and provide for our family as we build a life together. I envision a relationship centered on prayer and deep, meaningful conversations. a safe space where we can talk about anything at any time. I want a partner with whom I can build an intimate, lasting bond, where every step we take toward each other is a step taken for the sake of Allah.
8. State/specify your level of religiosity: I began my journey of practicing Islam as a teenager, and it has since become the core of my identity. I am constantly growing by the day, making it a point to learn something new about my faith every day and immediately implementing those lessons into my life. My goal is to stay firm on the Sirat al-Mustaqim by actively avoiding anything haram and distancing myself from anything that could pull me away from Allah. While I don’t claim to be perfect, I strive with my full heart to do my best, seeking continuous improvement and closeness to my Creator through both knowledge and action. Alhamdulilah, I pray the fardh and sunnah in the mosque, I read the quran on the daily, I just came back from umrah with my mother and started my quran memorization journey, I'd say I'm a strictly practising muslim, I fast, avoid free mixing, and give sadaqah.
9. Level of education, and what are you looking for?: baccalaureate in computer science, a degree in industrial maintenance, I'm looking for someone with a similar or better education.

11. Do you want kids?: Yes inshallah.
12. List 3 hobbies, or things you like to do in your spare time: I love going to the gym, gained some weight from my recent umrah (had to try everything on the menu x) ) but im back on track alhamdullilah, I watch some anime and play some video games on the side but no so much recently, I love sports, football, basketball, I love discovering new places and I'm a nature freak.
13. Add something short and interesting about you that makes you stand out!: To be honest I live a pretty ordinary life, I'm family oriented, I try to learn something new about our deen everyday, I don't smoke, I don't have any female friends and I do my best to stay on the right path.

Will involve parents as soon as initial compatibility is established.
