أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, the accursed one بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the name of Allah, eternally Gracious, eternally Compassionate. Firstly, I praise and thank Allah (SWT) for gifting me this beautiful life to the age of maturity for marriage. My intentions are sincerely to please Allah (SWT) by completing half of our Deen. If you find me compatible please invite/message me as I have stopped actively seeking at the moment. I will deem you to be uninterested if you don't invite me and just visit my profile. The truth be spoken, I have never attempted to write a biography of anyone, let alone my own. So, lower your expectations on the prose please! (:p) I will try to keep my self-description concise and clear. In Sha Allah, I will find the person who is looking for me as I am for them. Deen: I never had a strict family in terms of piety/religiousness. Although the definition of strict may differ according to various mindsets, my family would pursue me to pray five times a day since I could recall, but never forcefully. Living right beside a Masjid, I attended almost all five prayers in congregation. I soon got connected to the DEEN. It was in my early teens that I started to appreciate the religion than rather to just follow the majority of Muslims surrounding me. I’ve been Praying five times a day way before the obligatory (Fard) age for Salah as far as I can remember. I consider myself an ever-improving Muslim, trying to abide by the Qur’an & Sunnah. Additionally, I am very curious when it comes to Islamic Wisdom, and hope to pursue Quran Hif’z and proficiency in the Arabic Language someday. I am peaceful and like to be in peace. Arguments, fights and mockery is just not my thing. Anyone of those traits are huge turn-offs for me, but in face of disagreements I try to be understanding. I have always to the best of my knowledge consumed through a halal source of income and of food. After living in the US for over 5 years I can say it was pretty disheartening to find many of my friends be headless towards the meat they purchased from i.e. McDonalds. Finally, to the best of my knowledge, I have never worked in anyplace that involved haram. I don’t generally listen to music but sometimes I allow it. Usually, I listen to Quran or lectures while driving. 30 days of fasting in Ramadan and going to Itekaf during the last 10 days are my favorite times of the year. I am the type of person who will have an awful day if I am tired from inadequate sleep or miss Faj'r. Family: I grew up in a combined family playing both in and out of the neighborhood with my cousins 24/7. I have a younger sister graduating high-school and an elder brother who is a software developer. My father was a Marine Engineer and my mother, a house wife. Alhamdulillah, I can currently provide for my spouse if she stays with me & my family (in-laws) in NYC. When I graduate and get a better job I have the intention to get a place of my own Insha Allah. Education: My teachers influenced my life vastly. To this day I am in contact with my high-school teachers. I finished Ordinary levels in 2012, and Advanced levels on 2013 with decent results. Afterward, I moved to the US and took a gap year before starting college to be eligible for local tuition in NY. I majored on Applied Math & Physics at Queens College but I had a change of heart and decided to change majors. Currently, I have transferred for Mechanical Engineering. Although, it is going to take a bit longer for me to graduate I am currently self-employed and able to save. I plan to join the work-force right after graduation. On a side note, I like to write & I am trying to develop the habit of reading. Innovation and ideas/creativity sparks my interest. I am basic i.e. I love to sleep and I love food. **If you find me compatible please invite/message me as I have stopped actively seeking.** A few quirks would be:  I am very caring about the people I love.  I am very responsive of any remarks made to me.  I show interest in what people have to say even if I am clueless of their remarks.  I tend to listen more than to talk. (depends)  I value the practicing people regardless of race & color.  I don’t judge people by wealth.  I like to be organized.  I have learned to support my family with the money that I earn.  I also have a strong desire to memorize the Qur’an and even go for Islamic studies.  I have a good tolerance for various types of people.  I like to think that I have a good sense of humor.  I do street racing. (buckle-up for a ride)  I like to talk about deep stuff. (i.e. self-image psychology, perception-depth, scietific theories, the true purpose of a good deed... I can pretty much can relate most complex issues with anyone. I usually ponder and reflect on such levels with my sister and my best friend. They love it.)  I get along with people easily. I prefer cloudy days over sunnydays. I can play chess, most card games, and hide n seek; well not hide-n-seek anymore, that was when I was young and small. :p -:  I am bit of a procrastinator. (But my friends think I overwork my-self. Idk it might be a perspective thing)  I spend a lot on my ambitions. Eg- bikes, techs.  Although I like to be organized, it does not last long for me to get messy again.  I like to eat junk food.  I have little control over my sleep routine for the longer part. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **If you find me compatible please invite/message me as I have stopped actively seeking.** I would like to conclude with my most favorite quote: “It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad, and it is better still to sit with the good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent, but silence is better than idle words.” -Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu' Alaihi Wa'sallam

I acknowledge that no one is perfect and don’t expect my spouse to be either. I am not perfect; in fact, far from it. But I pray that we will complete each other's shortcomings in this short journey of the Dunya to reunite forever in Jannah Insha Allah. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After I wrote out everything I found it to be very long. So, if you want to read the gist of it then it follows:- If I end up choosing someone then my reasons will follow in descending order of priority: 1. Deen (Trustworthy) & Compatibility (Personality) 2. Beauty & the Brain (education) 3. Upbringing/Family/Friends * I don't discriminate against wealth/status. I don't care if you are coming from a family of lower status or higher, unless, you are prideful (riya) or extremely jealous to the point you wish evil on others. *My parents want someone Bengali-speaking but willing to be proficient in the language will work also. I personally speak Bengali at home. I am fluent in English; I understand a few words in Hindi. Read to know further details after the dotted lines- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spiritual expectations: I want a spouse who will spiritually motivate and engage with me in praying the tahajjud, dhik'r, and attending lectures, seminars, courses with me Insha Allah. This is one of my core wants. I want to pursue Deen and I want my wife to do it with me insha Allah. I want her to wear Hijab and modest loose clothing but Niqab is optional. I will accept either one. I follow the Quran & Authentic Sunnah (Salaf). I respect all other Madhabs maintaining my difference in opinions. I want my spouse to be the same. Expectations in my future conjugal Life: I expect the marriage to be a fun, caring, curious (deen/dunya), and virtuous journey through Deen/Dunya to the Akhirah. I want someone who will be my Queen in Jannah as well as in the world. I want someone to grow old with me and increase in love with the accumulating years. I have never had any relationship with any girl/woman before, so, I want someone who never had any relationship with a boy/man. I want to travel the world with my partner and for her to be more or less enthusiastic about such adventures. I want her to go to the Masjid, lectures, seminars and other outdoor activities with me. Since I am very competitive, perhaps, she will race me on the track, beat me on tennis, ride on the crazy roller coasters with me... Like a garment, I want her to safeguard my trust, secrets, wealth… as Amanah & I will keep her as my Amanah insha Allah. Financial expectations: I want my journey with my other-half to be as a team and not as individuals. So, my money is your Amanah' and yours is mine type of relationship is my preference. I acknowledge that in Islam, the wife is free of any financial burdens regarding herself and the household. Additionally, anything she spends on the household and on her husband/children is a charity (sadaqah) for her Akhirah. Regardless, I will be supportive of her decision to work or stay home. I want my spouse to work on her dreams and passions. I want to be her motivator and supporter as I want her to be mine. She will be free to work with transparency in expenditure and must be through a Halal source. Thus, financially I am not expecting anything from her but if she is able and is voluntarily helping out then I would definitely appreciate it. Romance: Love is a both way street. I want to love her and be loved. Movie-nights, dinners, vacations, and flowers are my idea of romance. I will try my best to surprise her occasionally and would want to learn her likings over long conversations/drives. Cook or, eager or, willing to put an effort into cook nutritious food for her family (me, etc) will be appreciated. I can’t cook, so, to compensate I will try to help around the house and take her to restaurants that do know how to cook. :p There are a lot of expectations that both parties come within the bond of marriage. I understand that not all of them will be met and its ok. Marriage is not about getting everything one wishes but rather it is about sacrifice and exchange, where one thinks of their other half's happiness and well-being first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In essence, I want someone: Who values Deen over Dunya. Who is respectful & loving also, respectable & loveable. Who takes cares of herself (hygiene/Beauty). (I will balance her effort with an equal or greater effort from my behalf insha Allah i.e. - help out around the house, Stay fit and strong. Be the reason for her smile and frequent laughs from my corny jokes.)
