Born in Pakistan, I was raised totally in Saudi until I went back to my home country for higher studies (Bachelor)
I lived in London, England for 11 months.
Right now I live in Canada and am enrolled in an MLA(master of landscape architecture) program in the University of Toronto.

Unfortunately, I cannot speak Arabic despite the fact that I've lived in Saudi. I'm sure I can learn it if I put my mind to it.

5'5" (165 cm)

120 lbs (45 kg)

Black

Black

Toned

I wear contact lenses

I always wear hijab when I am outside

I don't know it myself but i have been told its my smile. Allah knows best.
Btw, I'm tan and half inch short of 5'5" (for people who would want taller and fairer girls)
Plus they have a Typo in the 'weight drop-down-menu' 120 lbs is probably somewhat near to 55kg and not '45kg'
I stay in between 50 and 58 kilos. I have never been beyond 60kg or been less than 50kg. I normally start exercising if I am about to cross 57-58kgs
I think I am a health conscious person and would like it if my spouse also ate healthy and took care of his body. (our body is a gift from Allah, we should not spoil it)

Sensitive, Friendly, Kind, Adventurous, Witty

hmm firstly, I guess I'm too humble but I don't know if I should put it as my best aspect, the reason being, a huge deal of advantage people take of me due to it.

Secondly, I don't panic in the worst of situations. Alhamdolillah!

and thirdly, I don't get jealous of anyone (be it my siblings, or my potential spouse's siblings or others) so if anyone 'presumes' I do (not knowing me), it is not a very pleasant thing to do.
Usually people think the girl entering their family gets jealous of everything especially her spouse's 'sisters' ..... A big NOPES for that in my case so PUH-LEEAASE all of you out there, get a life! I'm not the sort. Alhamdolillah for that! :)

very sensitive (maybe being an artist) but its not good, I get hurt easily.
I can be moody at times which is also not a very good aspect.
There are days when I'm very quiet but that is not due to the fact that I'm moody. Its just that I don't feel like talking a lot at times. Some people do consider me rude because of this but I really don't know what to do about it. Its just plain misunderstanding. C'mon you guys! don't we all have our highs and lows?!?!

I think there is always room for change for the betterment of one's personality.
I guess I would pick up a lot of good habits that I probably don't possess right now (I try to)

I'm sluggish. At times, I need someone to drive me to do things.There would be more, I suppose but I can't think of any right now (I'll keep my profile updated inshaAllah)

I would want the Muslims to unite so Islam can once again rule the world so there be peace everywhere and by this I mean the true Islam (the one at the time of the Sahaba , when our religion was in full bloom)

Quite important

I never smoke

I do not have a driving licence

I have 2 brothers

I have 3 sisters

I come from an open-minded, well-off (alhamdolillah) and educated family. My father owns a company in Saudi which my brother also manages with him. My mother teaches Islam in an International school here. All my siblings are mashaAllah very bright. One of my sisters is married and lives in Pakistan.
I am very close to my parents and siblings. Therefore if my spouse would not want me to see them ever, after getting married, it won't be possible for me plus its not allowed in Islam.

Better in small groups

Italian, chinese and thai but mostly anything halal that tastes delicious

a smile

No

There is nothing except Islam

I pray 5 times a day

I fast in Ramadan

I have performed Hajj

Sunni

No madhab

I do not follow any specific sect in Islam amongst Sunni Muslims (Hanafi, Shafai, Maliki, Hanbali). I only try to follow the Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him) and his companions. I also believe in the Ahadith (the Sahah Sitta; the 6 authentic books of Hadith)
I take a hijab infront of non-mehrams; be it my cousins or aunts' husbands or sister's husband. I always wear an abaya/jilbab in Pakistan and Saudi since these are the 2 countries where I live. I usually travel back and forth.
At some places, I also wear just the hijab with loose clothing like long skirts and loose fitted pair of jeans etc as I am not very rigid. (I mainly keep in mind that my body be covered modestly as it is said in my religion therefore I try to stay in between the minimum and maximum level of Taqwah but not outside the circle of Taqwah, Alhamdolillah.
I am also not a hard core Salafi and would not want to get married to one. Islam is a beautiful Religion free of rigidity and flexible enough as to be followed any where in the world however we may feel comfortable (as long as it is within the bounds of the religion)
Also, I am repelled by the idea of Sufism and spirituality. It does not make sense to me at all and I think this way about people who are hard core Hanafi as well (mainly from Pakistan and India)

I would also want to state here that I am only human so my level of eeman does not always stay the same. There are phases. Sometimes I miss my prayers and other times I am connected to Allah in a very content manner Alhamdolillah but I'm sure if my husband is persistent or at least tries to maintain his prayers InshaAllah (since Allah has made him the 'Qawwaam' the responsible one for his family) I will also be inspired and try harder. Good company always makes a difference.

Having an innate ability to draw, I enjoy sketching, painting, sculpting, animating, designing clothes (western and eastern, I would want to launch my own brand someday inshaAllah [I already have ideas for it :) plus I don't think there is anything wrong with having style and being able to adapt and/or appreciate decent fashion ]), Of course all of the above is done staying within the bounds of Islam.i.e. no faces, therefore, no life drawing although its my passion! I love to draw human beings just as they are. (but I abstain from it)

I also enjoy cooking (especially exploring authentic new recipes from around the world)
I sometimes play strategy computer games
I am not into reading a lot but i try pretty much to get the hang of it since more than half of family members LOVE to read! [my mother has a whole library at home] I am inherently not interested in reading due to my paternal genes which is why I work on it.
I am interested in watching BBC Food, documentaries, Discovery channel, the Nat Geo channel, basically any documentary channel concerning animals (they fascinate me) (we have two adorable cats at home, just so you know) I may like to keep pets in future also but i would be totally fine if my spouse does not.
I am also very much interested in watching movies with a substance. I do watch movies of every genre though, depending on my mood. (Indian movies are not included, btw, except one or two)

I like getting different haircuts, keeping long and short lengths (and yes, I don't believe that it is wrong for a Muslim woman to get a haircut)

Oh and I like to give good advice to people (I don't know why, but I like it (I think it is a sort of Sadaqah))
I would want to host a reasonable talk show someday which would provide knowledge to the viewers and do something big for my country and the world :)

i really enjoy trips to other countries. I have only traveled to very few but would really want to go to places and explore different people and their lifestyles with my spouse, friends and/or family. It is always more fun when there is a group of people.

I have been to most of the places in my own country (many thanks to college trips)

I love singing but I don't sing anymore (I quit because of religion)

I ADORE horses and LOVE riding on them. I ride well. I would like to keep 2 horses in the future...I know its very expensive to keep them but hey, there's no harm thinking about it, is there? you never know when Allah fulfills your dreams.

injustice is simply unbearable. A lot would be fine if there be justice in the world.

Never

I don't specifically listen to music i.e. I don't watch music channels deliberately but if there is something on tv in some program, I wouldn't just shut it and leave.

Very important to me

I lived with my husband for almost a year and that was it. My 'X' was indulged in activities which are strictly prohibited in Islam so I and my family thought it best to be ended.Point to be noted: It was me and my family who thought of filing for a Khula but in the status option, they havn't given an option other than Divorced, Single, Widowed or Married.Anyhow, further queries and details can be answered on request.

Very important

You know what? If we talk about idealism here, it would not be a very realistic approach to look for a spouse. It never works, does it?
There are just certain aspects that I would admire in my potential spouse.
He should be a good Muslim (by this I mean he should find contentment and happiness with what Allah has made halal for him and should stay away from what He has forbidden) He should pray 5 times a day or at least try to. He should read the Quran with its translation and Tafseer and should also consider his responsibility to teach it to his wife and children.

If I were to talk about age specifically, lets see, someone from 29-38 If in his late 30s, it would be best if he appears younger than that.

A non-Pakistani would be great but exceptions can be made on the basis of several aspects which can be discussed later so all are welcome.

Education is a big fat deal for me. I myself have finished a Bachelor degree and am going for a Master so I guess I would want my spouse to have the same (a higher degree would be greatly appreciated though!)
He should be tall and definitely more intelligent than I am.

In my opinion, humbleness is the key to a good personality along with other important features like confidence, politeness, cool and calm temperament, wisdom, thoughtfulness and the most important of all, manners ( I mean every kind of manners; from table manners to keeping good hygiene which also includes Tahaarat; from bedroom manners to how a person should talk) Islam teaches us all of it and it is our duty not to overlook it.

He should avoid something with which his spouse or anyone gets annoyed with. I can give a lot of examples i.e. eating with one's mouth open, burping out loud in public or even when in seclusion, not taking care of personal hygiene etc etc. I could go on forever. Some of you may think this is kiddy stuff and we're past that stage since this is what we teach children from the very beginning, but trust me...I have seen grown ups do all of the above and not do a single thing about it even if someone points it out to them. Sorry if I may have been offensive to anyone here but we really need to educate people.

Someone WITH the following:
1. does or wants to do something which has been prohibited in Islam (this includes a lot of things other than drinking, eating the prohibited and gambling)
2. bad English
3. snores while sleeping ( I have a HUGE problem with it since I am a very very light sleeper) I wish I wasn't!!! Its a pain
4. believes strongly in the four imams and follows only one (i.e. follows only Imam Abu Hanifa)
5. is the same height as me or shorter
6. one who does not have a big enough heart as to appreciate others once in a while
7. one who is insecure and under confident
8. self-centered
9. unkind etc
10. one who suffers from Asthma or other inherent diseases (we should start our lives with only truth)
11. one who is a liar ( I can't stand liars, it is one of the biggest sins)
12. someone who is cunning
13. someone who is not respectful of me and my family (this one is very imp)
14. someone who does not even slightly try to understand his wife and put allegations on her
15. a person who is judgmental and racist and makes fun of everyone (including his wife)

Lying and smoking are the most unbearable. I cannot get married to someone who even occasionally smokes, firslty, since it is unhealthy for the smoker and secondly its more of a slow death process for others who inhale it as a second hand smoke, exhaled by the smoker making many human lives at risk and thirdly because I would want the father of my children to set a very good example for them.Ill mannered people cannot be tolerated as well. I hope I'm not asking too much. These are just the very common traits that every Muslim man and/or woman should possess.

Emails through this site at first or through any other website if this website uploads very slowly. Lets see.

As soon as I find someone to marry

very quiet with just the immediate families of both sides but I would respect my spouse's opinion on this.

I want to be my husband's only wife

In our own place

3 children

Oh everything nice; Islamic values, patience, modesty, kindness, healthy eating, going green (how to not waste our resources i.e. water, energy, fuel, etc) and I would not at all like to do all of the above alone. I would really want my spouse to help me out in every aspect for the betterment of our children. They will be our future therefore i would really want to work hard on them. Oh and in the top most drop-down-menu, I prefer to live in our own place but I wouldn't mind living with my spouse's parents as long as I don't feel neglected.Plus I don't really have a number for children but I'm sure I would not want a whole army rather I would want to educate my children and make them quality Muslims/citizens (be it 2-3) and not just a swarm of ill mannered and rowdy kids (of course with no time given to them due to the increase in their number one after the other)

In a different country

I am studying at the University of Toronto as a grad student doing a master of Landscape Architecture. I will be done with it in about 4 years so the future is pretty much it.

Right now, I think working as a Landscape Architect and making the world a better place by proposing plans as to lessen the issues related to global warming/climate change.
If I get married than I would start a family if my husband wants but would like some experience in my field, be it sooner or later.
I am a family oriented person therefore my family would be at priority.

Photo/photos can be provided on request (once someone seriously considers) I believe it is one's right to first have a look at the person he/she gets married to. I have not included it here so that I can only give it to serious people.

I think compromise is the most essential ingredient to make a marriage work out successfully.
If, in a marriage, the spouse thinks only the other half should compromise, it would never work out. Both of them have to play a vital role in making it work.
I can say for myself. I am the sort of person who would try to compromise on a lot of things (especially for my spouse) but if I see him taking advantage of the situation and not putting at least a little effort if not as much as I put then the relationship will not be a healthy one.
Moreover, there should not be an ego issue between a married couple. If they take ages just to say sorry to each other only due to their egos then their relationship is surely not a blessed one. Keeping grudges, and possessing a great amount of ego is not our Prophet's way and we should always keep it in mind.
A husband and wife are each other's garments. Both of them should have trust amongst each other along with a solid relationship which should not be broken by any misunderstandings created by peers or others.
Both the spouses should not be judgmental of each other making false assumptions. This creates a huge cavity between their relationship.

I would want to come to a conclusion (if things work out InshaAllah) with the help of Allah Subhana Wa Ta'alaa through Istakhara.
