Maybe the fact that I know I need to refine my character/personality in many ways is the best aspect in itself. It is me knowing the areas I need improvement in and striving to improve rather than be in denial.

Caring,easy going, honest, loyal,steadfast, patient, reliable and responsible. I dislike fitnah and do what I can to distance myself from its people(the fitnah mongers).

My likeness is like a garden of fruit, you'll find good fruit,bad fruit and fruit that has yet to ripen. Therefore I am growing and maturing hoping to be the best Muslim I can be for the sake of my soul.

So the best aspect is realization of who I am the good of me and the bad of me, and looking for a change through the behavior of the Messenger (PBUH) and his companions and those that follow themn in goodness.

More patience less anxious. Silence instead of talking. Assertive instead of being undecisive.

These are honest answer. Here they are. I don't want to paint this perfect specimen of a Muslim person because holds this attribute but Allah-The Most High. So changing is for the better then I am all for that.

Settling for Good instead of Great (not being an overachiever, being an achiever).

The Messengers, the righteous ones, the martyred and those generations of people who walk in their footsteps past and present.

Islam the religion of Truth.A bounty from a Allah and it shouldn't be tarnished with Bidah,shirk and misguidance from peple of ignorance. Islam as understood by the Prophet (PBUH), his companions and those that followed them in goodness, this is the Islam I follow. As for all the hoopla and politics,terrorism it is not what we have been created for,learn your (our) deen.

Spending time with family, friends, traveling, cooking, and sports fitness when time allows.

More importantly what interest me the most is my deen. The path of seeking knowledge of this perfect way of living al-Islam. So reading,studying, and these things are hobbies but also apart of the reason why Allah (SWT) created us to worship Him, so this is sought for His Pleasure insha'Allah.

Very important

She is a sister who fears Allah as much as she can.

Muslimah:
A sister who understands the Rights of Allah over her. She knows that was created to worship Him. Her actions point to the good in the face of tribulations of her soul. She strives to rectify her own personal affairs between herself and her Lord though she may fall short (as we all do). Studious and balanced in her religious obligations.

Wife:
A sister who can compliment my life so I may compliment hers in all areas of deen and dunya for the better-The Paradise. Intelligent, independent the right sense of the word as it should be understood Islamically, beautiful inside out. She strives to be better. She is leader and follower. She can manage a home. Feminine, a flower that is natural and not artificial and plastic. She likes to decorate, cook, shop, and romance her other half.

Mother:
The source of water in the home for her children may drink from when they are thirsty. She is a source of love and education who educates her sons and daughters to make du’aa for their parents. She is delicate you firm to discipline her children in a manner they are free to be kids, loved yet mannered.

Irreligious, superficical, shallow, stingy, has a long tongue always talking to irritate her husband. Lazy and unorganized. Can't cook.Unromantic, unlady like, and whatever she possesses from her ownself that she knows is not good then I don't like it either.

Irreligous, unmotivated to improve herself, depressed, unromantic, dunce, shallow, money hungry...

Simple, Sunnah and memorable

In our own place

Islam, balance of dunya,but Islam of course

Ibn Qayyim (RAH)said, "The past is a dream, the future is unseen, and all we have at our disposle is the hour."

I'd like to be in higher standings in terms of self (education,health,body and soul) and relationship with Allah and AlIslam,family, finance, other than this the future is unseen. The Aqeedah of Ahlul Sunnah is to believe in the Qadr shareehee (it's evil) wa khairehee (it's good). Allahu'Alim....

Allah knows Best

Bismillah ar-Rahmani ar-Raheem...

To proceed on:

Two Suitors Seeking to Marry the Same Girl
The Prophet (peace be upon him) disapproved of two persons competing with one another to secure marriage with the same girl. This is because such a situation is likely to develop bitter enmity between two Muslim brothers.

The Prophet said,

"A believer is a brother of a believer. Hence it is not lawful for him to bargain upon the bargain of a brother, nor propose for (the hand of a girl) after the marriage proposal of his brother, until the latter (voluntarily) withdraws the proposal."


So beware of the chatting and carrying on. To this day I am leary about this site and others because I have found that sister s are getting confused by the whole process of marriage. Multiple number of brothers at a time is not cool. It makes me think if I were to take a wife from the internet, how many brothers has she been chatting with? And be it she marries me and isn't 100% satisfied with me then she'll maybe fall into doubt about it. The marriage that is. Indeed it is not a game to be played with. So you have the entire Muslim world at your finger tips and getting you so-called customed internet ordered husband or wife. Scary.

When I sought marriage to my current wife. I had already sat with two families in Morocco prior to her on several occasions. I later then travelled to Morocco and met with her family spoke for about 30 minutes, and the rest is history. We have been married for six years alhamdulilah. No major issues in our marriage. We have spats like any couple but the foundation is for the Sake of Allah, then oursleves, therefore of the things that cause differing aren't serious and deen related. Why make fitnah about things that can be fixed?

So here I am on the internet seeking a number two. Well don't be surprised if my profile is deleted soon. Really too much to think about. The facade of a computer screen, space, distance and many things between two people seeking to come together as a union. A marriage. Insha'Allah I'll leave at that and insha'Allah stop my ranting on cause it may seem contradictary in a sense. Or maybe not? Maybe you feel the same as I do?


Insha'Allah this tool called the internet aid in that which is sought (marriage). May Allah make it fruitful and bless us in goodness

Ameen....
