MuhammadAlRifai

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Meeting via apps while trying to keep things as halal as possible is a bit tricky- so I thought I’d write out a lot of information for you to read in order to: a- Avoid wasting your time if something doesn’t click for you right away. b- Minimize unnecessary small talk. c- I would like to assess compatibility- inform and engage the parent-family once we mutually agree to move forward. d- I’m not doing any girlfriend-boyfriend type arrangements- just here for marriage. So- the important stuff ⬇️ Have some tea- this is a long read 😎 ✅ Islam is based on the Quran and Sunnah- and we intend to raise our children with the aim of following the path of the righteous predecessors. I follow the Ash-ari and Maturidi creeds and the four schools of thought- and I am Shafi-i and I have memorized the Holy Quran with several narrations and the six books except Sunan Ibn Majah- I will memorize it in Ramadan- God willing- -If you are a Shiite and insult the companions or from the Wahhabis who disbelieve Muslims- may God guide you- I hope you are far from me 🫣- ✅ I prefer that women cover their entire body- including the niqab if possible. I follow the opinion that it is not mandatory- but it is preferred-useful. Don-t worry- I will not force you to wear the niqab if you do not want it. What matters to me is morals. Yes- morals only. ✅ For those who are wondering about the background and environment I came from- I am an Arab from Syria- I am 26 years old- I left Syria because of the war- and I have lived in several countries including Turkey- Germany- France and whatever country you say I am similar to being from- believe me I have heard that before 🫡I welcome any questions you may have about this topic. I have nothing to hide- so I am happy to be completely open and honest. Just ask 😊 If your family doesn’t accept this- then respectfully- let’s not waste each other’s time. ✅ I am only interested in following the Sunnah when it comes to marriage- so a simple and straightforward Nikah is the way to go for me. Ok- I admit it. I just don’t know enough people here in the UK to invite to a big wedding 🤣 ✅ My preferred age range is 18-27- but 2 or 3 years from either side is definitely not a problem. It depends on you as a person- and how we deal. Well- that’s the end of it! I am looking for someone who understands the structure of the Islamic family and the roles and rights of both husband and wife so we can work together to achieve them happily for each other. I have my own personality and clear goals- thank God- I need a wife who is honest- kind- caring- positive and in control of her mood but has that natural femininity. Not to be confused with effeminate of course. Women who allow anger and jealousy to take over are not among them 😇 Yes. I am not a conflicted-minded person. I do not practice yelling- criticizing others- unnecessary criticism- or arguments. The Sunnah is ultimately about self-control- speaking kindly- and reconciliation because women are the final commandment of the Messenger of Allah. I believe in expressing gratitude regularly - not just for the specific things someone has done- but also for praising their general character. I would like to have someone with a similar mindset so that we always know how much we appreciate the other. Marriage is not a temporary desire of someone- but a lifelong partnership that needs constant maintenance. I am not against women who have a past- whether divorced- or returning to a more lawful life after years of less focus. Don’t feel like you need to explain it if that’s your situation- I just want to reassure you that in my eyes your past does not define you and I will not question you. I appreciate that it is unusual for me to say- but I only mention this because I don’t want anyone to be offended if they think I am judging them- because that is not me. I also would like you not to be an apostate because I want my future children to have as many relatives -Mu
