A Little Bit About Me
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
- 5'0, a mix of INFP and ENFP
- Never married
- Raised in the Bay Area, now living in Arizona
- Practicing Muslim with a strong Islamic upbringing; Islam is central to my identity and life decisions
- Striving to embody beautiful akhlaq and deepen my relationship with Allah daily الحمد لله
- Active member at the masjid, managing youth programs and volunteering
- Family: well-educated, close-knit family: dad is a former doctor and pharmacist and now works at a company, and my mom is a math and physics teacher; one younger sister college graduate with pre-med. A devout practicing family; everyone prays 5x and reads Qur'an multiples times everyday, adheres to daily sunnahs and is seeking 'ilm in various ways to get closer to Allah عزّ وجلّ
- Education: BS in Biology and M.Ed. in STEM and Literacy, 3 years Islamic Studies with Aishah Institute in California, currently continuing advanced Islamic Studies with courses at Seekers Academy online as well as sitting with local scholars
Occupation: Part-time teacher and part-time student of knowledge
- I value both secular and Islamic education as lifelong pursuits and hope to raise children (both in my work as a teacher and as a parent ان شاءالله) who are grounded in knowledge, embodying akhlaq, and a strong connection to Allah
- Optimistic, bubbly personality and curious by nature— family-oriented, kind, respectful, feminine, and supportive to friends and family
- Strongly value emotional presence, sincerity, mutual growth, and companionship based on trust and love for the sake of Allah
- Hobbies include reading, writing, cooking, learning languages, health, nutrition, and fitness
- Enjoy outdoor activities: hiking, bookstore visits, sightseeing, and travelling
- Would love to explore more things and experiences with a like-minded partner yet still staying within the limits of Islam
- I have never smoked/vaped, did drugs nor drank alcohol, don't have any male friends and do not listen to music.
- I enjoy a private life and do not post pictures nor exchange them freely
- While this profile is managed by myself, all further communication with a potential match prior to marriage will be supervised by a parent, so I will give you a parent's number and not mine.

What I Am Looking For
VERY IMPORTANT! Please read this section as I have very specific preferences and dealbreakers.
- Practicing Muslim who prioritizes their relationship with Allah and is striving toward taqwa and Jannah (knows and practices his fardh 'ayn and strives to implement as many sunan as possible)
- Follows one of the four schools in fiqh practices
- Someone who values and demonstrates good akhlaq through humility, kindness, sincerity and respect
- Intellectually curious, reflective, and committed to lifelong learning
- Emotionally intelligent and grounded, able to communicate with depth and compassion
- A reader who shares a love for books (I'd love to build a home library together)
- Family-oriented and sees marriage as a partnership built on mutual understanding, faith, and shared growth
- Wants to build a nurturing, deen-centered home and be an intentional, present spouse and parent
- Someone who is masculine, has gheerah, and is not miserly
- Open to new experiences and has a sense of adventure, both in life and in spirit
- Open-minded and respectful towards diverse cultures and traditions, as long as they align with Islamic values
- Ideally between the ages of 29-40
- Has a beard or is trying to grow one
- Never married
- Divorcee will be considered under specific conditions
- Maintains a healthy physical and mental state
- Holds a professional, respectable, stable job
- Is not in major debt
- Has never smoked, drank alcohol, or do any drugs
- No illicit relationships
- Does not use vulgar language
- Does not watch anything with nudity, excessive baseless violence or language
- Does not listen to music or play musical instruments
- If any of these dealbreakers existed in the past, it is understandable (no on is perfect and we cannot expect each other to be) as long as one has made (or is making) active efforts to move away from a life of a sin and working towards getting closer to Allah in the proper manner.
- No preference on ethnicities or race, but I am currently only looking for someone in Canada or the U.S. As the oldest in my family with no brothers, I have an obligation towards my family and wish to stay within the same continent at the least.
Any questions or concerns, please ask :)
