I was born and raised in Texas, but at the age of 17, my path led me to embrace Islam. A few years later I consider myself truly blessed to have embarked on the sacred journey of Hajj which offered me a glimpse into the Middle East and Arab culture. Following this profound experience, I spent seven transformative years in Egypt. It was there that I married, built a family and career, and welcomed three beautiful children into this world, before eventually moving to Istanbul.
I am a man of integrity and transparency. Sharing thoughts and emotions is second nature to me, creating a foundation of trust and understanding in our relationship.
Health and fitness are essential aspects of my life, with regular workouts and a commitment to wholesome eating habits being part of my routine. Family time holds a special place in my heart, and I strive to strike a balance between work and cherished moments with loved ones.
While I hold firm to my beliefs, it's important to mention that I adhere to the perspective of a Flat non-rotating Earth, drawing from both scientific and Islamic understanding. Similarly, I approach vaccination and modern pharmaceuticals with a critical scientific perspective, harboring reservations about their efficacy and safety. This perspective reflects a desire for alternative approaches to healthcare and wellness.
In terms of education, I firmly believe in homeschooling as the optimal method for nurturing Muslim children in today's society. This conviction is rooted in a desire to provide a well-rounded and faith-centric upbringing.
My Work Life, Hobbies, and Goals:
Over the last 13 years, I've honed my expertise as an ESL teacher, delivering instruction both online and within international school settings.
The entrepreneurial spirit within me led to self-employment, valuing autonomy and flexibility even if it means forgoing potential financial gains in corporate settings.
While I have a strong affinity for archery, Brazilian jujitsu, gardening, and video games, archery stands out as my true passion for recreation.
Some of my long term goals include one day establishing a modest homestead of self-sufficiency and escape from the demands of urban life, mastering Arabic at an advanced level, committing the Quran to memory, and acquiring proficiency in additional languages.
THE KIND OF WOMAN I AM LOOKING FOR:
I am seeking a life partner and second wife. A friend and lover.
A woman who carries her own financial independence is a huge plus and is preferred, but exceptions can be made.
As a father of three amazing children, I wholeheartedly recognize the substantial commitment and investment involved in raising a family. Given the responsibilities I already bear, I find it prudent to refrain from having more. Thus, it's crucial that my second wife understands and accepts this preference.
A blend of open-mindedness and religious devotion is the ideal combination.
She must have a love for Arabic and a strong sense of pride in our Muslim identity are qualities I hold dear. The foundation of her beliefs should rest on a genuine commitment to Allah and His messenger, guided by a discerning approach rather than blind conformity.
Shared perspectives on the Flat earth, vaccination/modern pharmaceuticals, and the importance of homeschooling are non-negotiable cornerstones of our compatibility.
A woman who is committed to maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.
Someone who appreciates preparing nutritious, home-cooked meals.
She should be a woman who embraces the teachings of Allah's messenger regarding the role of a wife, valuing intimacy, recognizing its pivotal importance in fostering a healthy and harmonious marriage. This forms an integral aspect of the partnership I seek.
