(ENGLISH translation below) my name is Mohamed (originally from Morocco) I stay Montreal. If you need to communicate QTHTQU7TZN it is a real profile. One must communicate on muslima before Whatsapp please not good to ask or give the number from the first message. And the one who likes or sends (hi) or slm and when you go to see who honored you, you find an empty profile! there is just the name and age and are fake in addition. we would understand the women in our community who do not put their real photos, but sincerely, an empty profile that likes me or texts me: it is disrespect. and besides, the person didn't even bother to just see your profile. How can we approach an empty profile? Where is the problem to fill out your profile with the right information and put a fake name? So please respect people and complete your profile. Not even seen your profile and ask for your number or send his and tell you we finish on Whatsapp..Waw! Have we start already to finish!?? They think it takes a long time to read the messages, frankly! You want to marry someone and you didn't even break your head reading his description? It comes from the serious name and disrespect for others before we even begin.

Assalamu Alaikum! Passionate and full of life, I’m a devout Muslim man on a journey to make the most out of life, all while helping others find their path. My days are filled with mentorship for youth and young men, where I find profound joy and purpose in guiding them to be their best selves, strengthening both their character and faith. A question I often get is about my ethnicity, and it’s something I hold close to my heart. I am proud to come from a rich tapestry of mixed ethnicities, embracing roots from the Caribbean and Latin America. My heritage is a vibrant blend of African, Indian, Amerindian (the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean), and Latino cultures, making for a unique story I am always excited to share. My friends describe me as the heartbeat of any gathering, bringing passion, energy, and a good dose of humour wherever I go. A fervent practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I thrive on challenge and discipline, and I’m just as committed to leading a fit and healthy life. I have a deep interest in understanding the diverse ways we connect and relate to the world, often diving into the realm of personality tests to quench my curiosity. Seeking a partner who values health and fitness, enjoys meaningful conversations, long drives, and has a love for travel. A woman who is empathetic, caring, and sees the beauty in the highs and lows of life, always looking for the silver lining and believing in the goodness of people. If you’re someone who appreciates a drama-free life, cherishes meaningful connections, and is ready for laughter and thoughtful discussions, I would be delighted to get to know you. Together, let's uphold our values, navigate the journey of life, and create a joyful and fulfilling chapter rooted in faith, respect, and our rich cultural heritage.

Important notes to begin with: It's really disheartening and gravely disappointing that nobody actually puts in the effort to even read the very first few lines. What's even more disheartening and disappointing...the fact that this is supposed to be a Muslim website...dedicated for Muslims...where you would expect a decent Muslim environment!! Please...At least Read the Notes Section Carefully before Initiating Any Contact...Thank you! **NOTE: I would like to thank all those who showed interest in my profile or sent private messages. However, I urge you to kindly wait until the profile is complete in its entirety before deciding to initiate any contact as it is still a work in progress.** **NOTE: Please understand that my search is limited only to within Canada. I cannot sponsor anyone from any other country. Thank You! Since I’m still receiving messages and interests from outside Canada, I would like to elaborate more on this point. Sponsoring someone from outside Canada is not as easy as hooking up online and deciding to get married. It’s a long and tedious process that can take years, depending on each individual case. Part of the sponsoring process is meeting certain requirements and conditions, with respect to the person who is the “sponsor”. Among those conditions, is meeting certain financial requirements. I’m a person of “modest means”. I may have enough to get by through life, but certainly not enough to meet the immigration department’s financial requirements to sponsor anyone. So, regardless of how special you are, or even If you have a genuine interest in my profile…I simply cannot afford it. I sincerely hope this point is clear to everyone. Thank you! ** **NOTE: Before messaging or clicking the heart button…Please be mindful of, and respect the age difference. If we’re at different stages of our lives, we will have different mindsets, different visions, different interests and definitely different energies. So, while it’s flattering to receive messages and likes from a 21 years old sister…Do you honestly believe that it can actually work?…that we can truly connect intellectually and emotionally in a healthy relationship?? The same, I believe, applies on the other extreme of the age range… (Kindly understand that I’m saying this with the utmost respect and with absolutely no intentions to offend anyone) ** **NOTE: I took it upon myself to verify my profile, so as to put your heart and mind at ease. This way, when you visit my profile, you can rest assured that you are visiting a real profile...not a fake one. In return, before contacting me, I would really appreciate if you can verify your profile as well. I've lost count of how many times I visit a profile with a profile photo...only to find the very same photo used in another profile of someone who lives in a completely different continent!! Not to mention: fake information, physical features that don't match the profile photos, or photos of popular celebrities? Seriously?? You couldn’t be any more obvious??! ** **NOTE: If I don’t respond to your message, please don’t take it personally. Please understand that I get a lot of messages in my inbox. I cannot possibly reply to all of them. Please also understand that I do have a life outside this website. Since, unfortunately, not all members respect my wishes, some of the messages are set to be automatically filtered out according to some criteria (Country of residence, age range, religious values…etc.). So, if I don’t respond to your message: - It was either filtered out because it doesn’t meet the criteria I’m looking for (especially if you live halfway across the planet) OR - You don’t have the “verified” badge on your profile OR - You don't give me any indication that you actually read my profile OR - I’m, unfortunately, busy with other matters in my life outside this website…like normal human beings, OR - My paid membership has expired OR - After visiting your profile and praying Istikharah, it didn’t feel like a good fit. In any case, I wish you all the best! On a related note, when you decide to text me, Please Don’t just send me the generic default messages suggested by the website. Messages that say: "Hi", "Hello", "Salut", or shorter form "Slt", "ca va" or shorter form "cv"...these are not really meaningful messages. Please try to put some effort into it and make it have a meaning. Please take the time to choose your words carefully. Words have power…Try to respect that power...Thank You! ** **NOTE: This is gonna be a long reading exercise...A really long one (may take up to an hour to finish reading, depending on your reading speed). Almost all the sections of the profile are thoroughly filled out with information. So, Brace yourself! As for the respected members who complain about the length of the profile: If you are taking this matter seriously enough, wouldn't you want to know as much as possible about your potential partner?? Would you rather step into a hollow profile with little to no information? Are you shopping for a potential partner at the fast food lane?!! If you cannot afford to invest an hour to get to know a potential partner...One would have to wonder, how would you be willing to spend the rest of your living hours, days and years with that partner...or any partner for that matter. With all due respect, Nothing is forcing you to keep reading. You can simply click the "back" button and choose another profile, right? Thank you! ** **End of Notes Section** The actual profile begins here: Walking through this life (DONIA) with the eyes of the afterlife (ALAKHERA), I strive to achieve and maintain the perfect balance between my nature as a human being with earthly demands and needs, and my inner spiritual thirst to its Creator. Guided by the Holy Quran and blessed Sunnah to enlighten my way, my DONIA serves my AKHERA while not forgetting my share of permissible times of joy, pleasure and happiness. Throughout the years of my life, I have come to a better understanding of myself and my personality. I have come to realize that I’m an introvert. I might, in fact, say that I’m chronically introverted. If you’ve ever heard or read about the Myers-Briggs type indicator, I would fall under the INFP personality type. If you’ve also ever heard of Keirsey Temperament Sorter, I would fall under the “Healer” role variant. I will try to explain more in the "More about me" section, but the highly extroverted nature of today’s world doesn’t appeal to me. It doesn’t attract me. Dealing with people drains me emotionally and leaves me exhausted. Many a time, I have wondered how my life would have been like, had I been born at a different time. A time when the world was a bit quieter, before things got so amplified. We live in a time of constant distraction. A punishing drumbeat of constant, harsh and discordant input and stimuli, that seeps right into our souls. I have this dire Need to have some personal space for thinking, contemplation and reflection. I treasure those late hours of the night and early hours of the day. The late hours of the night are great times while the world is still sleeping and you are awake communicating with God. The early hours of the day are great times to communicate with nature. And as the world wakes up and the day starts, the joy diminishes and reality hits back and then you’re just a cog in the wheel of life. In this wheel ...as an introvert (esp. chronic cases of INFP), one of the many things that characterize you ...you are an observant. When you are an introvert observant, you tend to view the world around you through different eyes...the eyes of an outsider. Not only that, you also tend to view the world at a slower and encompassing pace. You view the world at a slower frame rate. And as much as you can see beauty...As much as your senses intoxicatedly sing and dance in joy and pleasure, from the beautiful tapestry of God’s exquisite and impeccable creation…the warmth from the sun rays that blankets your skin…the gentle and salty breeze of the ocean with the harmonious beats from the sound of the waves bumping into giant rocks by the shore…the smell of the grass, wet on its cheeks after a rainy day…the multitude of birds of different species singing in perfect harmony…Everything around us is in a divine symphony of perfection. And while your senses are still in this intoxicated and joyful state, you subconsciously stretch your imaginary hands and try and grab a piece of this beauty, or even merely touch it…only to be awaken by a slap on your face, called Reality…you look at your hands, only to find yourself holding the ashes of what used to be, the ashes of what could have been. Because, with all this beauty…on the other hand... adding humans into the picture…the things that you see and hear... the things that are revealed to you as an INFP...the ugliness committed with the human hands...how ugly and cruel humans treat each other nowadays…the degradation of everything that is of value...the degradation of everything that is moral and ethical...that hurts!! I remember a quote by the Russian Novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky: “People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.” Allah says in the Quran: (Chapter 7, Verse 56) وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ Translation: (7:56) "And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good." And yet, we seem to only be more insistent, determined and adamant on the corruption… in all its different forms!! I have been through different trials and tests. I would like to think they were meant for my own good. To help purify me, awaken me (sorta like Neo’s awakening in the movie" Matrix"); unchain me from all attachments to this short narrow-scoped life, show me what this life (DONIA) is really like. I would like to think of it as God’s messages making his presence known, guiding me to aim for and work harder towards the better, and more important afterlife (AKHERA). As God promised in the Quran at the beginning of Chapter 29, verses 2 and 3: أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لا يُفْتَنُونَ (2) وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ(3) Translation: Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?(Verse 2) And We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars (Verse 3) I’ve been tried in my career. I’ve been tried in my previous marriages. I’ve been tried with my children. And I’ve been tried in my health. “It’s been a hard road...the road I’m travelling on” (Tracy Chapman "At this point in my life") On that road, I'm looking more for companionship rather than a typical marriage. But make no mistake, my pursuit of finding a companion is not one out of desperation. I’m equally happy and delighted in my solitude. I'm equally happy and delighted in my relationship with Allah (Alhamdolellah). In Allah, there is compensation for everything else...and in other than Allah, there is no compensation for His Almighty. في الله عوض عن كل شيء و ليس عن الله عوض في أي شيء But, having a companion by your side tends to make those hours in the wheel of life mentioned above less ugly, it makes them more tolerable. It’s a blessing to be awakened, but not to be awakened alone...in a world that’s drowning in a deep coma. Since early in my life I have been struggling with finding the right career path that fits me and fits my personality. As a kid at school, I was that cute, yet, odd little boy with eye glasses sitting at the back. The odd kid whom his being left-handed…added even more to his oddness among his peers. The odd kid whom, when called upon to answer a question, and despite knowing the right answer most of the time, would deliberately give the wrong answer…just to avoid being in the spotlight. That odd kid who puzzled most of his teachers…when class participation doesn’t match with his performance in tests, final exams and final grades. The kid that didn’t have too many friends at school but was lucky enough to have my older siblings attend the same school…working as a protective shield around me. As I grew up and it was time to go to college, I got stuck in the path to get an Engineering degree due to some family and cultural pressure (in addition to my fondness of Mathematics), only to realize it wasn’t really what makes me tick. Along that journey, I went through my first marriage which resulted in two beautiful children, But only to find out that I was just a step in someone else’s ladder. I was only a tool for her (my first ex-wife) to get to Canada and have Canadian children. I once read that “Being strong doesn’t always mean standing your ground and fighting your battles…Sometimes, just summoning the courage to walk away with your head held high and your pride intact…is the greatest show of strength”… ...and that’s what I did. I didn’t fight any battles. I didn’t stand in any courts. I didn’t fight for custody or even visitation hours…I just let her go. Few grieving years later, I met a wonderful single mother whom, by the grace and the will of Allah, was bestowed the greatest gift of reverting to Islam. Being from two different backgrounds, we had a great and exciting life together and I thought I couldn’t be happier. Yet again, that didn’t come without a thorn in the flesh. Despite how great she was, she had this weakness towards her children. I was always viewed as the bad guy, while I only had the purest intentions towards them. I treated them like my own and tried to find in them my long-lost love to my own children, who were taken away from me. And even though her studies in Psychology (she was a trained Psychologist in her home country, Brazil) helped her a lot in understanding, analyzing and absorbing the depths of my personality, they seemed to fall short in fixing her own weakness in front of her children. Though unwilling to believe in the obvious, It was clear to both of us that, unfortunately, we have reached a dead end. Along with that, hardly having a chance to catch a breath...came another trial, another test, only this time it was in my health. I had a thyroid problem that was easily treatable but during the onset of the problem I started losing some hair and it started thinning. Raising those concerns to a dermatologist, he prescribed a medication that had some nasty side effects (you can search “Propecia side effects” on Google). Those side effects came into the most delicate of all matters in a married man’s life but, thankfully Alhamdolellah, with proper medication, I was, and still, capable of leading a normal life. This may only be a glimpse of my life, but it’s hard to write down everything in the limited space offered by the website. That, I believe, would need a big thick book with multiple chapters. As a matter of fact, I can’t tell you how many times I have been encouraged by the few friends I have in my circle of trust and who have been a part of different events in my life, to actually sit down and take up that project seriously…to actually write a book! Or at least carry a notebook and note down the countless incidents and events as they unfold! They seem to believe that writing, somehow, comes easy to me… and that I may have an interesting story to tell. At the time…the way they say it…it sounds tempting…but I know myself…it just wouldn’t work for me. In this glimpse of my life I shared above, I tried to be honest and truthful as much as I could. I believe in honesty being the best policy. I believe in honesty being an obligation because on the day of judgement when I stand before Allah, when I am held accountable to all what I have done during my time in this life, when the Almighty questions me…I pray I have all the right answers. To be continued... **UPDATE: Due to the ever changing economy, I will be going back to school. That's why I changed my employment status to "Student". I find it an obligation to put accurate information as much as possible so as to save you the pain of making decisions based on false information.** **UPDATE (2): In keeping with the obligation to post only accurate information, and due to the current circumstances with the Corona virus, School plans had to be postponed for the time being. To elaborate more on this point: I'm currently not in a position to take any serious steps. This will have to wait until, en shaa Allah, I finish studying and, by the will of Allah, secure a decent job. If you are in a rush to take serious steps right away, I am afraid I may not be a suitable candidate for you. Thank you for understanding. ** **Update (3): Please understand that I’m currently not residing in Canada. To clarify: Just shortly before the Corona virus took over the world by surprise, I decided to take a break from everything and travel back to my home country and spend some time with my family. Little did I know what fate had in store for us…and with all the lockdowns and travel bans…I am unable to travel back to Canada for the foreseeable future. Alhamdolellah for everything. I trust that Allah only plans what is best for us.** **UPDATE (4): Clarification regarding the answer to the “Want more children?” question: Having a child, is undeniably a great gift and bounty from Allah. You see every day people going to great lengths to achieve such a dream and be granted such a gift. But for those who have never been through the experience… Having a child is a very demanding and taxing and seemingly permanent, 24/7/365 full-time job… A job without a retirement plan in sight. The demanding and taxing part is at all levels (emotionally, physically and, of course, financially). I strongly believe that the financial part shouldn’t be a concern, as Allah is the ultimate and only Provider. Every single soul brought to this world…they come with their provision package from Allah. Allah says in the Quran: (Chapter 11, Verse 6) وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ Translation: And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register. And in (Chapter 20, Verse 132): وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ (132 Translation (132) And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness. And in (Chapter 51, Verse 5): إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ (58 Translation: (58) Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength. The parents are just the tools that Allah uses to deliver such provisions. Same like my parents did to me and your parents did to you. However, and while it’s instinctive to crave and desire having a child, not everyone is equipped or ready to be a parent at all times or at the different stages of their lives. Having a child…it changes the whole layout of your life. You willingly, happily and selflessly put your life on hold, indefinitely, on an abandoned shelf somewhere… somewhere that you may even forget. And while having a child can bring you joy and happiness, despite all the sacrifices and the selfless role you play…As much joy it can bring...As much as they can melt your heart … as much as it can totally rip the very same heart apart when, God Forbid, things don’t go well and they’re taken away from you. As I mentioned before I, unfortunately, have been through this before in my first marriage and my children were taken away from me. The scars in my heart are still there...they haven't healed yet! At this stage of my life, as I mentioned before, I'm looking more for companionship rather than a typical marriage. I would like to invest the time and the energy, spared by not having a child, to build and establish a greater, stronger and deeper bond with my companion. Have the opportunity and the time and the energy to explore each other…our personalities…what makes us who we are. I would also like us to be able to: In terms of Faith and Belief and Emaan and our efforts towards Akhera: - Increase our knowledge about this beautiful religion together. - attend lectures at the mosque or even online together. - Study together and delve deeper into Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). - Try our best to live according to what we learn from the Quran and Sunnah and put into practice. In terms of Donia: (If we can afford it) - Be able to save some money to travel somewhere new together. - Take a course where we can find a mutual interest, or even a whole diploma together. - Learn a new language together. - Take up martial arts classes together. - And more… (but hopefully you get the idea) However, even with all our best laid-out plans…Allah is the best Planner…and only his will on earth shall prevail. If it’s meant to happen, to have a child (despite any other plans in mind) …Well, who are we to refuse Allah’s gift to us?? And who knows? That child might be the real factor that actually builds and strengthens that bond between us. That child, he or she, can grow up and be destined to be a great addition to the society and the world. So, that’s why my answer to the “want more children?” is “Not Sure”. It’s not a definite “Yes” or a definite “No”. I really hope this point is clear for everyone. Thank you! ** **UPDATE (5): I have been asked by some members to describe what Islam means to me? While I’m by no means an angel walking this earth, I would still like to think that Islam is what shapes who I am. This greatest gift and bounty from Allah the Almighty that he generously bestowed upon us. Islam is in the air I breathe...in the water I drink...in the food I eat. It runs in my blood. Allah…the afterlife...the first thought in my mind when I wake up and the last thought before going to bed. It’s also the thought I have in the middle of the night when I am tossing and turning and cannot sleep. Islam to me is beyond the five pillars (Shahadah, Praying, fasting Ramadan, giving Zakat, or performing Hajj (if possible)). Islam is what shapes my moral and ethical compass. Islam is having a live conscience and a live filter to every single action (Will doing this be pleasing to Allah or not?). Islam is what shaped my profile the way it is...being honest, upfront and straightforward. Islam is seeking knowledge about what is halal and what is haram. Islam is about knowing why Allah created us, what awaits us after this life, in the grave and on the day of judgement. Islam is in every transaction of the day, be it big or small. Islam is in how I treat my neighbors. Islam is when I go shopping, when I smile at people, when I hold the door for somebody. Islam is in how I drive my car, letting you pass me first, giving up my parking spot for the elderly or a mother with her children or a pregnant woman... choosing to park further away and walk. Islam is when I remove harm out of people’s way. Islam is in my conversation when I talk to people. Islam is while humbly cruising through this DONIA, constantly reminding myself to look at the less fortunate...that despite my struggles and trials, there's always someone else who have it worse...that for any given day, as long as I'm in good health, have a safe shelter, have enough food and enough means to support myself and whoever in my care...then I'm among the richest of the rich for that day...the rest is just glitter and tinsel...the rest is just confetti...and Allah, who provided me for that day, is capable to provide for me tomorrow. Islam is also in considering every morning I wake up, still breathing and am capable of getting out of bed, to be another gift from Allah...another chance for a new beginning with Allah. Islam, therefore, is also in constantly reminding myself to practice gratitude and be among the few whom Allah mentioned in Chapter 34, verse 13: وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ (Translation: And few among my servants are grateful). Islam is in my reflections and contemplation of the conscious world around me. Islam is living this life, knowing with absolute certainty, that there will come a day when the inevitable visits to finally release my soul and take it on its ethereal and final journey...knowing that at that final moment...all this life since my birth, through all the stages, the successes and failures, the ups and downs, the accomplishments and disappointments, the struggles and trials...even the good times and heartaches...all this will be just like looking back from a window, at an infinitesimal grain of sand on a sandy beach, while seated in an airplane taking off and leaving the ground...All what remains is the luggage I took with me ... the luggage that only contains my good deeds during that infinitesimal lifetime I had on this earth. But, I’m still a human being…I have my shortcomings…I have my demons. With the help of Allah, I try as hard as I can to work on those shortcomings…With the help of Allah, I keep those demons at bay on a leash. ** ** **UPDATE (6): There’s been quite a number of curious messages asking where I’m originally from. I promise you, I come from planet Earth…I’m not an alien!! I’m not sure why that would be a concern. If you are worried that there maybe some inherited misconceptions regarding marriage or treating women or any other, unfortunately, negative stereotypes attached to certain cultures or backgrounds…I assure you that’s not the case. As I mentioned in my answer to other curious messages regarding what Islam means to me…My only reference is: Quran and Sunnah. The place where I was born…is just that…a place where Allah destined I would be born. This information I will share with whom Allah decides that we have a serious conversation. What I can share is that: I was blessed to be born in a Muslim country to Muslim parents and grew up in a Muslim environment. The notion of Ethnicity, Nationalism, pride of belonging to certain country or culture…don’t mean much to me. The years I lived where, what you call, I am “originally from” and before moving to Canada…I never felt like I belonged. I always felt like I’m a guest or a tourist who, sooner or later, will have to leave. Allah says in the Quran: (Chapter 55, Verse 10) وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ Translation: He laid out the earth for all beings. It’s humans that came up with these concepts of countries and nations, while It’s The whole earth for all beings. Hence, I come from planet Earth! ** ** UPDATE (7): It doesn’t give me any pleasure to have to write any of this, but after some unpleasant experience, I find it necessary: While I sincerely appreciate that you might be interested in my profile, please understand that it doesn’t necessarily mean that, in return, I have an obligation to reciprocate. Even if you think that your profile fits the listed preliminary criteria I’m looking for (Country of residence, age range…etc.) …there are many other factors to consider. There’s no need to be rude about it…There’s no need for patronizing or condescending behaviour or projecting your insecurities on me…especially when I reply back and, politely and respectfully, apologize for not reciprocating the interest…even when I think I don’t have the obligation to do so. You know…I can be rude too…I can be acerbic...but Allah says in the Quran (Chapter 25, verse 63): وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَاهِلُونَ قَالُوا سَلَامًا Translation: “And the servants of the Most Gracious are those who walk upon the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace” Also, in Chapter 28, verse 55: وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا اللَّغْوَ أَعْرَضُوا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا لَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا نَبْتَغِي الْجَاهِلِينَ Translaton: And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not the ignorant." So, Kindly spare me your preaching about proper manners…I think my manners are fine…they’re just different than yours. Also, you don't need to tell me how we could have been meant to be together or how, according to your judgement, I’m limiting my chances and you are considered a missed opportunity! There are no missed opportunities… Like the great companion Omar Ibn AL Khattab said: “we run away from the fate of Allah…to the fate of Allah”. If I were to tell the stories of my previous marriages, you’d be surprised how we ended up being together…you’d be even more surprised how both marriages ended up in a divorce. If it’s really meant and predestined to happen…it will happen. And Please… Spare me the need to explain or justify why I may not be interested in your profile. With all due respect, I don’t think you feel obligated to respond to every interest or every message you receive or feel obligated to justify yourself why you are not interested…Or Do You??!** ************************************************************************************************************
