About Me

Age: 24

Current Residence: USA

Willing To Relocate: I would consider it within the US, to a city, or to the Middle East. Not to Canada. While this is a soft no, I would prefer to stay in the city I am in as there is many opportunities here and it is diverse. 

Marital Status: Single, never married

Siblings: None. 

Height: 170cm/5’7

Weight: 160lbs 

Smokes/Vapes/Hookah: No

Education: Masters 

Diet: I exclusively eat halal. 

My hair is a very dark brown, my eyes are brown, and I have lighter but not exactly white skin (but I tan very well). I no longer get my eyebrows shaped/threaded (I clean them up a bit), do not post myself publicly, and do not wear much makeup (I do like brown lip liner). I’m not hijabi, but I am building my modest closet. 

I’m in a period where I am trying to relearn my interests and build hobbies. I liked reading non-fiction or realistic fiction (e.g. Dostoyevsky), trying new recipes, sunbathing, making leis, horror movies, listening to the Rotten Mango Podcast (or Shnook, or Cults to Consciousness). I’m currently starting to play chess. I would like to do things which give me an adrenaline burst, like going sky diving, or go travel to admire God's creation.

To a potential and their family I would describe myself as a revert, but I come from a family whose religious and ethnic background is mixed. None of my immediate family who is alive practices Islam.

To be transparent, I experience depressive episodes. I’ve always felt encouraged during those times when I am able to support others through acts of service or being their for them. 

I’d like to pursue a doctorate, please keep this in mind.

Your Preferences in a Partner

Age Range: 24 to 29

Education: At least a bachelor’s. 

Height: 5’8+

No drinking. No khat. No smoking weed, cigarettes, or hookah. 

I do not have the capacity to marry a divorcee or widow, nor someone with children. 

I would like someone who is practicing, but not in a mechanical way. 

A funny, but actual dealbreaker, would be using Twitter and Snapchat. 

It is important to me that you have firm boundaries with female coworkers and your friend groups should not overly involve women. Practicing sexual discipline alone is important to me, please do not inquire if you have a problem with female attention or pornography. I promise you we will not be suitable for each other. I am not open to a joint-family structure, nor the idea of “50/50”. 

I’d love an ambitious, encouraging, soft-spoken, and masculine man. 

Life is turbulent and we are both growing as people constantly. If we were meant to stay stagnant then Allah SWT would return us to Him.

It is in our belief that the good you direct towards your spouse, along with the bad you shield them from, is ibadah but I truly believe that the love, passion, and devotion you express is an extension of your devotion. Allah SWT is The Most Forgiving, The Most Merciful, He loves to pardon us, but we cannot hear his forgiveness as we may see it. I think in hearing your spouse forgive you, feeling their compassion, is a way that you can in some way feel God’s love in real time. While I know marriage is a commitment we make and keep before Allah SWT, nurturing that is incredibly important to me. 

I want us both to be someone that just wants each other to be happy and improve in a way that Allah سبحانه وتعالى would like.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows of any boxing gyms or classes in NYC that are exclusively for men?
I understand that boxing gyms are typically male-dominated spaces, but as a Muslim, I’m trying to find somewhere for my partner that is specifically men-only. Even if it’s another sort of contact sport. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or the Bronx would all work.

I’m also looking for women-only wrestling classes for myself, although I know I’ll have more luck finding those.

Thank you so much for any recommendations or leads!

For anyone who was put completely asleep for the procedure and that was the first time in your life, do you ever find yourself wanting to be sedated again? To the point you want to try to find the meds that they gave you?

Unrelated to guilt but just having low distress tolerance in relation to certain things. I want to feel healthy again and process things in a way that isn’t crazy.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to find out if there are any men’s-only classes or training groups in NYC for MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, boxing, wrestling, or anything similar.

I’m specifically looking for a men’s-only environment (not mixed classes).

If anyone knows of gyms, programs, private instructors, or even smaller informal training groups that fit this, I’d really appreciate the recommendations.

Thanks in advance.
