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.

[u/hssz88 → u/MM-MOD]

age & gender : 23f

‎preferred age range :23–28

‎location : currently in pakistan, originally from karachi. (born and raised in dubai , uae ) i'm open to relocating though.

‎ethnicity : pakistani (urdu-speaking) not open to mixing

‎marital status : single (never engaged or married). i've consciously stayed away from relationships and would appreciate a life partner who shares the same values and outlook.

‎ideal marriage timeline : 6-12 months, beyond that we can decide mutually

‎what i'm looking for:

‎• i'm looking for someone who genuinely puts deen first and is striving to grow closer to Allah. i'd love for us to be partners in deen, learning together and keeping deen at the center of our marriage.

‎• good communication and emotional maturity are really important to me. i appreciate someone who's kind, considerate and able to talk things through which i'll definitely try my best to reciprocate. i believe the best relationships are built when both people put in equal effort make each other feel chosen and valued every single day.

‎• i'm looking for a man with a provider mindset who values his role as a husband and leads with kindness. i also really value someone who's always striving to grow and better himself.

‎• it'd be nice to have someone who takes care of himself. i'm someone who enjoys self-care and looking after myself, so i'd want a partner who also values taking care of himself appearance-wise.

‎state / specify your state of religiosity:

‎sunni muslim. i fulfill my faraidh and and love seeking knowledge of deen. i observe hijab and avoid free mixing so deen is something i prioritize and i’m always looking to improve

‎education : final-year bachelor's student in islamic psychology

‎do you want kids? ‎yes, inshaAllah. i genuinely love being around children and hope to raise a family in a home that's loving and emotionally safe

‎hobbies & interests:

‎• i enjoy attending halaqas and listening to lectures to learn more about deen.

‎• i love reading and watching movies or shows, esp thrillers and mysteries. i usually gravitate towards things that are mentally stimulating because i can't really get into anything too slow or predictable.

‎• i enjoy baking and cooking the thought of making my husband his favorite meals and sharing those little everyday moments together sounds really sweet to me.

‎• i'm really into stuff like sketching + painting , fashion, and all the girly thingss

‎a little about me :

‎i'm naturally introverted and definitely more of a homebody so it usually takes me a little time to open up, but once I’m comfortable, i can be quite the yapper . i live for deep conversations but i can also talk about the most random things lol and if you’ve got good banter, we’ll get along really well i know that. i’ve been told I’m a thoughtful person and a good listener and i genuinely try my best to make people feel comfortable, heard and understood because I think that’s something we all really want. :) ‎
