Male Profile #18 ⤵️

Age: 25
Height: 6'2"
Marital Status: Never Married
Current Residence: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Raised: Dubai (2001–2019)

Background
I was raised in Dubai from a young age until I moved to Canada in 2019 for university. I graduated from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) in 2024 with a degree in Business Technology Management.

Career
I worked at oracle for a year straight from university. I currently am working full-time with my father in our family business.

Family
I come from a close knit family. My father is a business owner, my mother is a teacher, and I have one younger brother who is currently in university in Canada. My parents are based in Dubai and visit Canada a few times each year.

Religious Practice
I strive to follow the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf. I am currently enrolled in AMAU and continue to study the deen. I avoid music, smoking, and unnecessary free mixing, and I try to maintain regular prayers at the masjid.

Scholars I take from/ generally gravitate towards and the likes: 
like Shaykh Albani, Ibn Baz, Ibn Uthaymeen, Shaykh Fawzan, Shaykh Ruhayli, shaykh Muhammad Sa'id Raslan. I also benefit from local students of knowledge at Masjid Istiqama and use IslamQA as a key source of reference.

Interests
I enjoy staying active through tennis, gym, and badminton. I also like trying new food spots, horseback riding, and spending time outdoors.

I believe a husband should lead with compassion, responsibility, and stability offering emotional, spiritual, and physical support for his wife creating an environment where she can flourish and be her feminine self. A peaceful and trusting environment starts with good character, patience, and mutual respect.

Personality

I’d describe myself as emotionally grounded, sincere, and responsible. I value honesty, communication, and adab both in how I carry myself and how I treat others. I’m known to have a good sense of humor and try not to take things too personally, reminding myself that this dunya is a fleeting test for the believer.

At the same time, I take my roles seriously as a son, as a friend, and inshaAllah one day, as a husband. I’m someone who reflects deeply, tries to stay level-headed under pressure, and believes in showing up consistently with ihsaan. I believe balance is key: knowing when to listen, when to speak, when to joke, and when to lead with quiet strength.

In my free time, I enjoy:

- Tennis, gym & badminton
- Trying out new food spots
- Horseback riding
- Scenic drives, peaceful hikes, and quiet nature
- Adrenaline activities like skydiving and bungee jumping

Future Goals

- Be a trustworthy leader and provider for my family
- Build a home grounded in Islamic values, love, and tranquility
- Keep growing in my deen and character
- Build a masjid for the sake of Allah
- Sponsor and care for an orphan, as per the Sunnah
- Live with balance striving in the dunya while always prioritizing the akhirah

Background & Ethnicity: Afghan — Pashtun/Tajik

Age: 28

Height: 6’2”

Briefly describe your personality:
Practicing brother trying to stay upon the Qur’an and Sunnah. Responsible, grounded, and easy to get along with. I take my responsibilities seriously  salah first and foremost  and I’m a firm believer in earning a halal income. I’d rather have less that’s pure than more that’s doubtful, because the barakah is in what’s halal. Traditional in my outlook, and my goal is simple: build a home upon taqwa and lead, protect, and provide for a family, in shaa Allah. Life doesn’t have to be serious every minute though  I joke around plenty.

How others would describe you:
The people closest to me say I’m empathetic, mature, and the one they call when they need support.

Attire/dress: Sunnah dress, beard kept


Hobbies:
Happiest out in nature. Regular at the gym the strong believer is more beloved to Allah, and I take that fairly literally. Always up for trying a new cuisine, though I have strong opinions about which places are actually worth the hype. I also fall down rabbit holes learning something completely random, so expect the occasional fun fact you never asked for.

Briefly describe what you are looking for in a potential spouse:
First and foremost, someone who knows her Lord and is content with the roles Allah has honoured her with in the Qur’an and Sunnah. Family matters a lot to me, so I’m looking for someone who values it too, keeps the ties of kinship, and has a warm relationship with her own family, especially her parents. Communication is big for me  I’d rather talk things through properly than have either of us guessing. And someone who can take a joke, make a few of her own, and isn’t above laughing at a bad one. If she can survive my random facts and questionable food recommendations, even better.

Expectations for potential spouse:
Guards her interactions with non-mahram men and takes that seriously  a home built on taqwa starts with what we’re each careful about individually. Committed to her salah and to learning her deen.

Age:
24
Height:5’8 / 173 cm

Briefly describe your personality: I don’t think personality can be accurately described over text, as it is somewhat subjective and is better understood through an actual conversation and meeting. I have tried to give an indication of my personality through the other sections of my profile, but I believe a proper meeting would give a much better understanding of who I am.

Attire/dress: Loose and long shirts, wide pants cut above ankle, frequently wear Moroccan thobes as well.

Hobbies: I try to spend my time in a balanced way. I enjoy listening to beneficial lectures and also keeping up with general topics of interest. I like spending time outdoors, frequently going on trips within Ontario, staying active through home workouts, specifically calisthenics, and occasionally meeting friends or attending events.

Religious history:My family has always been practicing since I was young. Alhamdulillāh we grew in knowledge over the years. I strive to follow the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf alhamdulillāh,  and to implement Islam as a way of life, not just a religion. I finished memorizing the Quran in 2017 and have started consistent revision in recent years alongside learning the Qirā’āt, although at a lighter pace due to other commitments. In the last couple years, I have also started attending lessons/conferences at Masjid Istiqama as regularly as I can, both in person and online and aim to expand upon the knowledge Allah has opened for me. I also watch online lectures in Arabic/English translation as part of my independent learning. I am working on Arabic fluency to be able to listen to lectures and read books without translation.

Education: Bachelor’s in Mechatronics Engineering at TMU (April 2025), no plans to do further education.

Occupation:Alhamdulillāh, I have started a role as a Project Coordinator at Aecon in the nuclear sector, working with Ontario Power Generation and other major firms. My experiences so far show this to be a career with long-term stability, and from my experience speaking with people in the sector, I see opportunities to further pursue work in project management for at least the next 10 years inshaAllah.

Marital status:Single

Previous children:No

Languages spoken:Fluently speak English, understand and speak Azeri/Azerbaijani decently, understand Arabic, Russian and Turkish but don’t speak them too well. Briefly describe what you are looking for in a potential spouse: Looking for someone who:-        Avoids music, perfume, excessive use of social media and free-mixing.-        Is interested in having kids within the first year of marriage, based on what Allah wills.-        Is willing to dedicate their time at home and not work full-time, especially once we have children as I plan on homeschooling. Pursuing a degree, working remotely, working at an Islamic school, or similar situations within the realm of Islamic allowances could be discussed further.-        Understands the Islamic rights of the husband and wife within the family structure and is ready to adhere to and fulfil them. I will do my part as well inshaAllah. Expectations for potential spouse:She is comfortable living in the same home as my mother, while having a private space of our own, which I am open to showing to the sister and her family before marriage. Later on, relocation within GTA may be considered based on work conditions. She is comfortable with frequent interaction, as I am quite talkative at home and enjoy discussing a wide range of topics, both serious and light.
Whether you are outgoing or shy is perfectly fine with me, but I believe compatibility becomes clearer after a meeting or two with the Wali involved inshaAllah. I would appreciate if she watches the Fiqh of Marriage / The Matters Pertaining to Marriage in Islam playlist from Masjid Al-Istiqama channel to get an understanding of the prerequisites of marriage before continuing in the process.

Female Profile #28

Place of birth, upbringing, background:
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada.

Legal status:
Canadian citizen

City of residence:
Toronto, Ontario

Background & ethnicity:
South Asian / Indian

Age:
24

Height:
5’6”

Briefly describe your personality:
I would describe myself as family-oriented, grounded, and fairly straightforward. I’m someone who really values personal growth, both in my deen and in everyday life, and I’m always trying to become a better version of myself.

I’m naturally caring, patient, loyal, and empathetic, and I try to be someone the people around me can depend on. I can be quite organized and responsible, but I also enjoy having fun, spending time with the people I love, and appreciating the simple things in life.

My faith is an important part of how I try to approach life. I believe that, as Muslims, our relationship with Allah and our purpose in this dunya should remain at the centre of our lives, while still enjoying the halal things Allah has given us. I hope to continue growing in my deen and eventually build a balanced, peaceful home centred around the Qur’an and Sunnah, InshaAllah.

How others would describe you:
My friends and family would probably describe me as caring, honest, patient, dependable, organized, and hardworking. I’m usually the person who likes having a plan and keeping things organized, but I’m also always happy to help when someone needs me.

I enjoy creating a warm and comfortable home environment, keeping things clean and organized, and having a good routine. The people closest to me would also probably say that I’m thoughtful and someone who genuinely tries to show up for the people I care about.

Attire/dress:
I dress modestly and wear hijab and abaya, Alhamdulillah.

Hobbies:
I have a mix of creative, active, and quieter hobbies. I enjoy crocheting, cooking, baking, reading, and journaling, as well as going on walks and working out at home.

I also really enjoy being involved in my community and help with event planning for my local masjid and Islamic charities. I especially enjoy being involved with sisters’ events and halaqahs.

Recently, I’ve also been trying to get more into painting and nature photography. I enjoy puzzles, board games, and anything that gives me a little challenge, but I’m equally happy spending quality time with my friends and family.

Religious history:
Alhamdulillah, I was raised in a household where Islamic values were prioritized over cultural expectations, and that is something I am very grateful for and hope to carry into my own future family.

I began wearing hijab and abaya at a young age, Alhamdulillah, and Islam has remained an important part of my life as I’ve grown older. I try to continue learning, improving myself, and becoming more intentional in my practice rather than simply relying on what I grew up with.

I also enjoy being involved in my local Muslim community and try to help wherever I can, particularly with sisters’ halaqahs and community events. I love both attending and helping organize them.

Scholars & speakers you listen to:
I don’t currently follow one particular scholar or speaker consistently. Much of my Islamic learning comes through classes and programs at Masjid Istiqamah and my local masjid, as well as books and other beneficial Islamic content. I’m still learning and hope to continue increasing my knowledge throughout my life, InshaAllah.

Education:
Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours), specializing in Public Health
Bachelor of Education

Occupation:
Occasional Teacher: Primary/Junior

Marital status:
Single, never married

Does your wali have knowledge of you seeking marriage?
Yes, my family is aware and supportive, Alhamdulillah.

Languages spoken:
English, Urdu, Hindi, and some Arabic

Briefly describe what you are looking for in a potential spouse:
I’m looking for a practicing Muslim man with good character who genuinely wants to build a marriage centred around Islam.
I don’t have a particular preference when it comes to ethnicity, height, or weight. Character, deen, compatibility, and shared values are much more important to me.

I would like someone who sincerely strives to follow the Qur’an and Sunnah and makes an effort to stay away from what is haram. I understand that none of us are perfect, and I don’t expect perfection from a spouse. What matters to me is having someone who is sincere, self-aware, willing to keep growing in his deen, and concerned with pleasing Allah.

I hope we can encourage one another, grow together, and build a marriage where Islam is something we genuinely live rather than simply identify with.

Expectations for a potential spouse:
I hope to find someone who is genuinely excited not only about getting married, but about becoming a husband and, InshaAllah, a father one day.

Good character is extremely important to me. I value someone who is honest, patient, respectful, emotionally mature, and able to communicate openly about his thoughts and feelings. I appreciate someone who can handle disagreements calmly, control his anger, listen to another perspective, and work through difficulties as a team.

At the same time, I would love a marriage that has warmth, friendship, affection, humour, and fun. Life can be serious enough, so I think being able to laugh together, enjoy each other’s company, and create happy memories is important too.

I value a man who understands that being a husband and leader of his household is a responsibility and an amanah rather than simply a title. To me, good leadership includes taking initiative, being dependable, making thoughtful decisions, consulting his wife, protecting and providing for his family, and treating them with gentleness and respect.

When it comes to children, InshaAllah, I hope to raise them in a loving home with strong Islamic values. I would want my husband to be an active and present father who understands the important role he plays in teaching, guiding, loving, and setting an example for his children.

Ultimately, I hope for a marriage where both husband and wife understand their Islamic responsibilities while also treating one another as partners who support each other through the different stages of life. I would love to build a home that feels peaceful, loving, welcoming, and centred around our shared faith.

Open to reverts:
Yes

Open to divorcees:
No

Open to those with children:
No

Preferred age bracket of potential spouse:
23–34

Possible countries you are willing to relocate to:
My preference would be to remain in Canada for at least the first few years of marriage. In the future, I would be open to discussing relocation to Saudi Arabia or another country with a strong Islamic environment if it made sense for us and our family, InshaAllah.
