Hi Pakistan,

I have done ACCA’s first module which is equivalent to associate degree in UK. RQF-4. But I did it after matriculation. Dropped out and changed careers.

I’m doing really good professionally, Alhamdulillah. But I wanna get a degree. Maybe in business. Is there a university which accepts RQF-4 certifications as well instead of intermediate.

Please let me know, thank you!

Assalāmu ’Alaikum wa Raḥmatullāh.

Thought I’d give Reddit a chance before my relatives start recommending their neighbour’s cousin’s friend’s daughter.

About Me

25
5’6”
Single
Pakistani
Ahl al-Hadith
Working in a leadership role. Alḥamdulillāh, Allah has been generous with rizq.

I’m a dropout, which used to sound like failure until life politely disagreed.

Most of what I know today came from curiosity more than classrooms. YouTube, books, conversations, making mistakes, fixing them, and repeating the cycle. I genuinely believe self-education can change a person’s trajectory.

I’m practicing, keep a shar’i beard, don’t celebrate birthdays or anniversaries, don’t have female friends, and try my best to live according to the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf. Far from perfect - but hopefully facing the right direction.

One thing about me: I can’t stay still.

Not because I’m obsessed with hustle, but because I think stagnation quietly steals people. Whether it’s deen, health, knowledge or character, I always want to be moving - even if it’s just one small step.

One day, in shā’ Allāh, I’d love a home that’s rich in things money can’t buy: books with folded pages, a tiny home gym, lots of laughter, children running around asking impossible questions, and a marriage where we still choose each other after difficult days.

I prefer homeschooling if Allah makes that possible.

Long-term, I prefer a nuclear family. At the same time, my parents will always have a place in my life. If Allah has commanded excellence towards them, who am I to negotiate that?

Looking for

Someone 25 or less.

Not looking for perfection. I’m looking for conviction.
Someone who loves Allah more than she loves winning arguments.

Someone who reminds me of Allah when I forget, and lets me do the same for her.

Someone nurturing, emotionally intelligent, soft-spoken, and capable of laughing at life when things don’t go according to plan.

Someone who sees motherhood as an honour, not an inconvenience, and understands that raising righteous children is one of the greatest investments a person can make.

Education, city, ethnicity, or family status aren’t priorities. Shared values, sound Tawheed, kindness, humility and compatibility are.

Life is strange. Two people spend decades growing separately, then one day Allah writes that they’ll spend the rest of it together.

If ours is written, perhaps this post was just one small means.

May Allah grant every sincere brother and sister a spouse who becomes the coolness of their eyes. Āmīn.

NOT A RISHTA POST!!

Me? Im M 25, doing good professionally and overall in life. Problem is that I have never been into relationships. Never.

I wanna get married, but the idea of marrying a stranger you don’t know feels like a gamble.

I don’t wanna date either. Has anyone else been in this situation? Any advice? How to find the one?

Thanks!

I pursued Accountancy before transitioning into the tech industry. Alhamdulillah, I currently work in a leadership role in a good co. and am continuing to grow professionally. I am also exploring a future transition into Cloud Engineering or App Development.

**Some things that are important to me:**

Simple and humble lifestyle
Limited social circle
Personal growth and lifelong learning
Building a home environment centred around knowledge, fitness, and family
Preference for homeschooling, In shā’ Allāh
Staying physically, mentally, and spiritually active

If you walk into a piece of farmland, the land has a lot of potential to be a great asset to you. If you however go sit on the land and do nothing, you will get nothing. Enjoying the potentials of the land isn't automatic.

Now, there are risks involved, just like with anything else. You can put your all into farming the piece of land and natural disaster comes to lay waste to your efforts. You try again. stuff happens. Those that give up early may never get to enjoy the potentials of the land.

This is the parable of marriage. Many walk into it with the exaggerated expectations that it will automatically grant their desires and serve their interests while reluctant to put in required effort. When reality hits suddenly they are dismayed. It is not the eldorado they dreamt of. The enjoyment of marriage comes after the hardwork, not before, and it is a lot of hardwork for all parties involved. That is why marriage isnt for desire-centric individuals. They won't last in it. If you don't learn to put yourself second in the scheme of things you will never be able to make marital sacrifices. If you expect everything to always revolve around your desire and comfort, you will ultimately be a selfish spouse.

Just as someone will abandon a piece of land claiming it is useless while someone else will use the same land to enrich himself if he puts in the required effort, can someone enjoy marriage to your supposedly "useless spouse" if the problem all along is your unrealistic and selfish approach to marriage.
