- In my own words:

I embraced Islam 10 years ago, AlHamdulillah. I was married for 10 years (Islamically, not legally) but her desire for the world and closeness to many non-Muslim friends resulted in what Allah (SWT) has decreed for the ones who ignore His prohibitions. I seek an intelligent, independent Muslim woman of loyalty and honor to share the blessing of Allah (SWT). My parents live nearby. I love them and they visit me or I visit them every weekend. They are non-Muslims, but they accept my Islam and may Allah (SWT) guide them.
I pray for a wife who values a husband who teaches and explains whenever he is asked, but who can also teach and explain when she is asked; a Muslimah who knows herself and thinks ahead, who remains firmly upon guidance when I err and who is quick to return to it when she has erred. I pray that my wife and I will recognize and desire to remain upon Al-Sirat al-Mustaqim; that we will be able to laugh and be silly just as easily as we can stand for salat and discuss our insights and problems. I pray to be granted a wife whose heart assures me she would be a good mother and whose love assures me that we are enough for each other if Allah (SWT) wills us to be without children.
I think this (and, as they say, much, much more) is what marriage should be if both partners are faithful, dedicated, compassionate and able to see the best of someone through their physical and personal flaws and shortcomings. InSha'Allah, the right woman will be blessed with me and I with her. Until then, may Allah (SWT) grant both of us patience, steadfastness and perseverance, and may we recognize each other when we meet.
My requirements are few because a superficially beautiful woman may bring sorrow or joy, but time can take her beauty away, while the faithful and righteous woman is a pleasure to and is pleased by the faithful and righteous man. Their smiles and eyes reflect the beauty of their hearts long after their bodies have been made delicate by time. The good man and good woman are made by Allah (SWT) to accompany each other on His straight path while they live so that (InSha'Allah) they will be granted nearness to Him in Al-Jannah. Therefore, I require only what Allah (SWT) has required; that we both believe and lead a righteous life according to His guidance. More than this is a benefit, less than this is harmful.
A woman's weight is of little importance to me, likewise hair/eye/skin color, good or bad teeth, big or little feet, elbows, toenails or any other physical trait that may be important when buying an animal. I do like intelligent and graceful women, I admire a larger, aquiline nose (please do not get 'nose jobs', sisters), small hands and a woman who is shorter in height than I is comforting to my fragile male psyche, but I do not intend to disregard a Muslimah whose mind is active, whose heart is pure and whose Islam is strong. As Allah (SWT) has said (interpretation of the meaning) in Surah An-Nisa, 19: "(...) If you dislike them, you may dislike something wherein Allah has placed a lot of good."
I have a very wide range of interests, including riding motorcycles/scooters (I would be happy to have my wife ride a bike or scooter also, if she were physically able and interested), high-end audio, history, the Islamic sciences, cooking (and eating, of course...), electronics, electrical and mechanical things (i.e. fixing, maintaining and/or improving anything I can), reading (and writing way, way, way too much... I know...), studio recording, mixing and mastering, singing (and teaching/coaching vocal technique and harmonizing), blacksmithing, photography, tobacco & pipes, firearms, shooting and reloading, and a few other things that aren't popping up in my head just now...
I spend much of my time on my computers, troubleshooting, fixing and upgrading them, reading e-books, learning most anything I can, looking for answers to questions I come across, etc.
I have a scar to the right of my nose, below my eye. It's not hideous or 'yukky' (see photo - someone took it while I was trying to listen to a speaker at a distance so I'm concentrating, not angry - The scar is on the far side and probably wouldn't show up in a photo at that distance anyway. I can imagine some ladies might be repulsed by a scar, and it's better not to waste their time or mine. The surgeries that produced the scar also produced permanent chronic pain (for which I take non-intoxicating medication) and forced me to retire from my career. However, I am still very active in the many things that interest me and I have a minimal income, enough to support myself and contribute to my wife's needs. My wife is free to work if she chooses to, and her income is her own. She is welcome to share my home or live as she can afford.
If you have managed to read all this and aren't bored stiff, suspicious or waiting for a punchline, thank you. It might be nice to exchange email and see if there is mutual interest. Please contact me - bsradmin at Google's mail service.
