MY MATRIMONIAL PROFILE
I am a liberal minded, moderate and practicing Muslim. I am also a business owner / investor, and have earned an associates in Business Management. I was never married nor had children.
I was born in Cairo Egypt in 1964, and came to the states (Michigan) at the
age of three as my father was offered a job in architectural engineering.
My father (passed on) was Egyptian, my mother Lebanese.
Due to becoming financially secured (by Gods will), and my
disabled brother now settled with lifetime care, I am now able
to settle down with a small family, with little limitations.
MY FATHER & PROPHETS BLOOD LINE
My father was a successful architect in Egypt before resuming his
respected career in the states. Shaikh Mohamed Mousa (happy to
provide his personal number as character reference) of the Unity
Center in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and last known as Imam Mousa
(now retired), knew my father very well. My father was the chief
person in charge of expanding the big Suni Mosque in Dearborn
Michigan. He spent countless hours of hard work every night after
work, and this when he had heart problems. And he never took any
money or compensation for it. He was a very charitable man.
I belong to, and have the great honor to be part of the
prophet Mohamed (pbuh) blood line (ashraf). However, this in it self
does not hold great meaning, unless one strives to uphold the
principle examples of the prophet.
MORE ABOUT ME
Two words my friends would use to describe me would be kind and
compassionate as I have a
strong desire to uplift and provide for the people and causes I care about.
I do not smoke, drink, take recreational drugs, engage in premarital
sexual relations, or gamble. Some positive attributes that I would
use to honestly describe myself would be, easy going, unconditionally
faithful, honest, understanding, caring, sensitive, respectful, just, helping, open
and broad minded, patient, humble, have a subtle seance
of humor, creative as well as intellectual, have a strong sense of physical responsibility.
One trait I have which can be looked at as a virtue and minor curse at the same time; is it can be
distressing for me to see a good woman's heart break when she has a
hardship in her life and that I have established some sort of
connection with her (such as confident or friend), thus there may be
times I try to intervene to help her (her willing), while it might not
be my place, but instead better left to Allah. However becoming
engaged will sever such ties of an emotional level, and limit them to a purely
humanitarian type nature, and can not, and will not, take place without another party present,
weather it be my wife, or other, and further must be requested by the one in need.
If my wife is uncomfortable with such, the relation will be either witnessed by her presence, or if not left solely to God.
It is a deeply intricate part of my inner being, that it sometimes seems almost
forsakenly suppressed due to some difficulty in expressing such emotions, mainly
in public, as a deep and private romantic element of my self. However
as I am now realizing in develop a deep relationship, such emotional expressions
would seem more of the norm than rarity, as this intricate part of whom
I essentially am, thus inevitable, and will naturally be displayed on various
levels and means.
It is my greatest wish to find the woman I can cherish, protect, and
provide for -- to cater to
her most sensitive needs, all out of my most genuine of heart.
MY INTERESTS
I really love being self-employed. I recently started an import / export
fashion business and my dream is to continue to develop and grow that
business, and eventually open a street front showroom. I love that it allows
me to use my creative eye and design my own brand as well as provide me
a great work/life balance. Having learned a lot about entrepreneurship, one
of my goals is to eventually set up an organization that teaches entrepreneurial
concepts to underprivileged individuals.
I enjoy going to the movies, fine dining, playing basketball with high
skill, watch sports, and gives me great pleasure in trying different
activities or go to events my mate might enjoy. I enjoy spending
plenty of time with my soul mate, kids to be, family, and some time
with friends.
I started writing poetry in high school. Most of my writings are based
on my reflections on life and its meaning. I have been mostly
influenced by the works of Edgar Allen Poe and
have a deep admiration for the writings of Rumi as well.
I also have a passion for travel. I have traveled a good number of
times to Egypt, particularly the cities of Cairo and Alexandria.
I have visited Rome as a youngster, and Toronto Canada. I would love
to visit even more places, especially with that special someone. If I was
to have a second home (God willing), I would love to live in
Malaysia due to its amazing architecture, natural landscape and
culture.
MY PLANS DURING AND AFTER MARRIAGE
My wishes are really fairly simple. I want to have a loving wife and
one or two kids (Ausie Pair / Nanny hired), raised with ample love and
God in their lives. To live in comfort but without needless excess.
With my part owner and partner, I plan to open a successful franchise
or acquire an existing fruitful business (hilal) - no pork,
cigarettes, alcohol, riba etc.)
In fulfillment of my plan and vision, it is in my near plans to buy a
costal or lakefront modest scale, yet luxury home, in either the Miami
or Orlando Florida suburban area. This to be a vacation home, and
later be our early semi-retirement paradise on earth. But it is
important to me to have my wife's support in finding together such a
resort style home, to share it with. To be situated near a community
mosque, good schools, and establish a good confidant surrounding
community.
Entrepreneurship is very appealing to me in that it allows me to be my
own boss, in control of my own future (except by Gods will), and least
but not least have
plenty of time to spend with family, friends, and leisure time.
MY VIEWS ON MARITAL RELATIONS
I am a strong believer that the sparks will be either visible early
on, or virtually not at all. So I have no intention in dragging a relation ( no
pre-marital sex) on for a long period before deciding to get married.
We should be truthful and upfront with each other from the early
going, and meet each others family. And like I said, the sparks should be
apparent early on, or never, and if not initially, we should not stay
in a relation that will very unlikely spark, only to cause heartbreak to
the lady, and disappointment to the families involved.
I strongly believe their are four major reasons for the failure of marriage
or demise, with the last often being a bi-product of the first three:
similar common values, mutual respect, understanding, and
unconditional faithfulness. I also believe that a significant reason
for marriage turbulence and often break up, is the lack of communication and
expression of major expectations on most part of the man, and the
woman as well. And that often vital issues are left untold until the couple are
married and it leads to friction and mistrust. While these
differences can often be diffused or even negotiated before engagement.
It is also a strong moral and religious belief of mine, that the woman
is an equal partner to man, and that in a marriage, the wife has ample
rights (in some cases more than a man for her protection), and should
be included in major family decisions, as this is vital to her
happiness, and is a rightful possession. The man is the provider,
protector, and sustainer (in health and well being) of the woman.
In my religious view (Islam) during a marriage, what income is earned
by the husband, is both the man's and women's. However, what
earnings and belongings of the woman, is hers only (during marriage, and
in event of divorce), unless she chooses of her own will to share of it.
Therefore, it would be a plus for the woman to contribute a portion of her
earnings toward the household, but only if it would raise the household quality
of life, or if it would please her, but if she has even nothing, it is not
important for me, nor necessary.
MY IDEAL START OF DAY WITH A LADY
My ideal start of a day with a gracious lady would be to start with a
nice lunch at a Mediterranean cafe or Asian Bistro. I am definitely a
big fan of ethnic cuisines and love trying out the newest restaurant
on the scene, and exotic dishes.
Next, I would head to the movies and catch the latest comedy, sci-fi,
or horror flick. Since I love to laugh, I also really enjoy comedies.
My favorites are the old school comedies like the National Lampoon
vacation movies or pretty much any movie featuring Chevy Chase.
