A Little Bit About Me
So I was born and bred in East Laandan with all the cockney geezers. Our family originates from the beautiful valleys of Swat in North West Pakistan. As an adult, I've also lived most of my professional life as an expat in the Middle East, particularly the UAE, Saudi and Egypt. These experiences have really given me an international mind set and I feel comfortable hanging out with the bawwaab family of a Cairo apartment block, the scholarly majaalis of Najdi Bedouins or the mashwera jirgas of the Pathan elders. It's all cultural intelligence but knowing the lingo helps too!

People would probably say about me that I was a mature and chilled kind of guy who is confident in his islamic personality, without shoving it down people's throats. I would also add that I'm quite an introvert and don't mind silent moments. That seems strange considering my professional career has involved a lot of leadership roles but maybe there is something to say about that too!

I'm down with quiet nights in, as well as crazy adventures away. It's all good. I don't mind a bit of clean entertainment, or dipping into my prized library. I also love a solid session working out.

I have been running schools for the last 10 years and currently lead a British Curriculum school as Principal. This can be quite intensive and can have long hours, so a wife who can be independent would best match with me.

Other points worth mentioning:
Speak English, flueny Arabic, Pushto as well as limited Urdu (depending on who you ask!)
Like to learn and teach islam where possible.
Enjoy travelling
One of my children was adopted from Ethiopia.

In summary and using Ertugrul as a reference, the closest personality to mine and the one I would aspire to probably be like would be Aliyar Bey, and definitely not Alisar Bey!

Those who know, know. :-)

What I Am Looking For
Preferred Age range: 28-42

Consider other ethnicity: Yes. Ethnicity is not important but cultural intelligence would be useful when dealing with family/community.
Consider a Revert: yes
Consider Divorcee or Widowed: yes

Willing to relocate: No. At the moment, I am based in Dubai and so any sister would have to be able to eventually settle here too. This can be a process over time.

*Any other description of what you're looking for in a spouse?*
