mjshaikh

I am a very logical and brutally honest individual. What’s in my heart is exactly what comes out of my mouth. I am extremely transparent- blunt- and straightforward. I have a strong sense of justice and cannot tolerate injustice- whether its directed at me or at a complete stranger. I will always stand up for the weak and the oppressed. My role model is Umar ibn Al-Khattab RA- because I share many of his personality traits. I am fiercely loyal—first and foremost to Allah and then to those who have entrusted me with their amanah. Though I live in a modern body- I carry an ancient soul. I am a traditional Muslim who does not subscribe to modernist ideologies or lifestyles such as Secularism- Liberalism or Feminism. I believe these trends often dilute the core values of Islam and pull Muslims away from the truth. For the past 13 years- I have worked as a Software Developer- building interactive media applications for major Canadian and American brands across Android- iOS- and Smart TV platforms. Over the last three years- I have also ventured into digital marketing—leveraging the power of AI to help brands market themselves more efficiently and effectively. Im an INTJ personality type—strategic- future focused- and emotionally disciplined. I appreciate depth- structure- and clarity in all areas of life. I value order- but also creativity. I naturally prefer solitude or the company of a small- close-knit circle—mainly family and a few trusted friends. I avoid crowds and meaningless socialization. My ideal time is spent researching- reading- reflecting- sleeping- or indulging in a good video game. I also have a deep love for Islamic history- especially learning about the governance- culture- language- and cuisine of past Islamic civilizations—particularly Ottomans and Muslim Spain. I was born in the city of Mumbai and later moved to Canada during my teenage years to pursue higher education. I worked there for several years until I came to a clear realization: if I want to raise children with strong Islamic values- I cannot do it while living in liberal Western societies. The environment there is soaked in fahisha -degeneracy- that hasn’t just corrupted non-Muslims- but has sadly affected many Muslims as well. For this reason- I plan to settle my future family in a tradtional Muslim society—a place where raising children upon deen- haya and taqwa is still possible- insha’Allah. I currently run a digital marketing business and am in the process of moving my business to Malaysia- bi idhnillah. Based on my experience- Malaysia is one of the best first-world Muslim countries to raise a family- offering both stability and a traditional- values-based environment for Muslims. And insha-Allah I plan to settle in Malaysia. Please note- I know very little Arabic since English is my native language. So if you need a fluent Arabic speaker from Day 1- then I am not the right person. But I have a plan to learn conversational Arabic insha-Allah. So if my wife can understand little bit of English then that would be great. My Future Goals are: 1. To build a strong- trustworthy- and intimate relationship with my wife—one rooted in loyalty- mutual respect- and deep emotional and intellectual connection. I want a wife who is not just a companion- but also my confidant and partner in both Dunya and Akhirah. 2. To raise righteous- God-conscious children in a proper Islamic environment- so they may grow to become flag-bearers of Islam- grounded in knowledge and action. As Allah says in the Qur’an: وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ —[Surah Aal-e-Imran 104]
