A Little Bit About Me
Salaam, I'm Ihsaan.
Personal Overview:
I am dedicated to practicing my deen with sincerity. I aim to pray Fajr and Isha in Jamaat and attend the mosque regularly, often volunteering for various community events like Quran courses and family fun days. I’m currently in the foundation year of an Aalim course, focusing on Arabic, Seerah, and more, to deepen my knowledge of Islam.
I create Islamic YouTube videos, a passion I hope to turn into a full-time career, Insha'Allah. My goal is to make a positive impact on the world by using this platform to guide both Muslims and non-Muslims toward living more meaningful lives in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah. I strive to help as many people as possible in the time I have on this earth, preparing myself and others for our ultimate meeting with Allah.
I'm a final-year Mechatronic Engineering student, and I also tutor maths part-time, helping students from Primary through A-Level. To keep my body and mind active and disciplined, I go to the gym every morning after Fajr and do Muay Thai in the evening.
Personal Traits and Interests:
I’m an ambitious person who believes that, with Allah's guidance, I can achieve great things and make a meaningful contribution to this world. I’m always focused on my goals and dreams, which is why I avoid distractions like social media. I find it can be harmful to one’s mental well-being and personal relationships. For this reason, it's important to me to marry someone who also values a life without social media, as I believe it will help us maintain a stronger, more focused relationship.
I’m very patient and generous, sometimes too much as you may come to find, but I like to look after my friends, family, and community. I’m quite a smiley person and can be quite cheeky—I have a younger sister (13) who I love to play fight with, and I’m always joking with my friends and family.
I think a lot about what everything means and how I can become better—a better brother, friend, son, future husband, and father. I ponder my purpose, whether I’m ready to meet Allah, and how I can prepare for that meeting. Because of this, I can talk a lot, especially when I’m passionate, but it also makes me a great listener, as learning about others helps me answer these questions.
I’d say I’m extroverted and tend to make friends easily, often bringing them together to create a kind of brotherhood. I want my friends to go to Jannah, so I’m always encouraging them to come to the masjid and fostering lifelong righteous friendships.
If we were to have children, I have ideas about how I’d like to raise them. One of my plans is to give each child an hour of undivided attention every week throughout their lives, ensuring a strong bond and that they always feel safe to come to their father with anything on their mind.
I’m quite simple and enjoy going on walks through nature and talking about life. I’d love to share regular walks with my spouse to bring us closer. I’m not afraid to show affection—I give my mum kisses and hugs all day (especially when she’s angry to annoy her) and like to express appreciation to my loved ones.

What I Am Looking For
I am looking for spouse who:
Embraces hijab in both attire and conduct. This means not only wearing the scarf but also embodying modesty in her behaviour and speech. When I see her, I remember Allah, when she speaks I increase in knowledge and in peace, and her deeds remind me of the hereafter.
Is praying her 5 daily prayers and is striving to be better in all aspects of the Deen. She should be interested in seeking knowledge or already a student dedicating at least an hour a week to deepen her understanding of the deen.
Understands that marriage is a partnership where we will face many difficulties together, and so we need to work through them with patience and perseverance as guided by the Qur'an and Sunnah. To recognise that the husband leads the family and makes important decisions, but this role is carried out with the wife’s support and careful consideration of her thoughts and opinions.
Also values a minimalistic lifestyle, avoiding extravagance, which I believe invites nazr and serves no meaningful purpose. I prefer a small wedding in accordance with the Sunnah. Insha'Allah, if Allah blesses us with more sustenance, I would love to travel together, but this would likely be in the future, as for now, we focus on building financial stability.
Is comfortable being a stay-at-home wife or working from home. Ideally, I would like her to pursue work or hobbies that she is passionate about—something she loves and enjoys, but isn’t a financial necessity. My priority is to provide for her, so her career choices should be driven by her interests and personal fulfilment rather than financial need. Being family oriented is important to me so I envision a partner who can fulfil her primary role in taking care of the household and family, while also engaging in activities that bring her joy and satisfaction.
Is mindful of how quickly we involve others (friends, family, parents) during fights or arguments as doing so can create unnecessary tension between families and lead to additional problems. We should strive to resolve conflicts between ourselves first, approaching each situation with patience and understanding.
Who is also striving to be fit and healthy, even if they aren’t already, as I plan on being fit and healthy my whole life, that way I can be an example for our future kids and my loved ones. I’d like someone who is into sports so that we can do them together, as per the Sunnah - The Prophet used to race Aisha RA. I once saw a muslim couple playing tennis in the park and I thought I’d like to have that kind of bond with my future spouse.
Who shares this same drive to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. It would be truly beautiful if this was her passion too, and I would love for us to volunteer together on meaningful projects, Insha'Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends.” I think it is very important to have practising friends, all my closest friends come to the masjid with me. I’d like my wife to have practising friends as well, who are always encouraging her and helping her grow closer to Allah SWT. Ideally, her friends would be married or seeking marriage themselves, as this reflects their respect for the sanctity of marriage and ensures they would support her in both the joys and challenges of our relationship.
Has a respectful and caring relationship with her father, valuing his opinions and well-being. This would reflect in the way she would treat her husband.
Doesn’t have Male Friends
Doesn’t have social media or uses it very little, especially certain apps like Instagram or TikTok that are incredibly toxic, you definitely can’t have (I also don’t have them).
Wants to have children. (We can discuss how many and how we would raise them when we get to know each other.)
Has a sensitive heart, likes walks in nature, having deep conversations about the beauty of creation, doing activities together (sporty and non sporty), and goes out of her way to push me towards my goals. Has a slightly odd sense of humour, if we can share a laugh together, I think I'd be the happiest man alive.
