Muslims in Singapore

Love is life

We are all here for different reasons.

Some are genuinely looking for marriage, some are happily single by choice, some are still figuring out what they want, while others are simply here for companionship, new friendships, or even as a form of distraction from whatever life has thrown at them.

And you know what? None of these reasons makes someone less worthy of respect.

Don't judge those who are eager to find a spouse, and don't condemn those who choose to remain single or aren't emotionally ready to settle down. Everyone has their own reasons, their own experiences, and their own timeline.

Likewise, I have my own reasons for being on Muzz.

I mean, who doesn't want a happy marriage? Who doesn't want a spouse who stays through the good, the bad, and everything in between? Who doesn't want to be loved, respected, understood, and appreciated?

Who wouldn't want someone who notices the little things without constantly being reminded? Someone who understands that love isn't merely about sweet words, but also about consistency, consideration, emotional maturity, and effort.

Sounds like a fairy tale, doesn't it?

But perhaps it's not about finding someone perfect. It's about finding someone who is willing to learn, grow, compromise, and navigate life's imperfections together.

And let's not forget, we all have our own preferences, and that is perfectly okay!

Some prefer bald men, some love a man with a beard, some are attracted to certain physical features, while others are drawn to intelligence, humour, emotional connection, or shared values.

Attraction is subjective. Compatibility is personal.

And just because someone doesn't fit your preferences doesn't mean there's something wrong with them.

Sometimes, two perfectly decent individuals simply don't connect. And that's okay too.

If the conversation doesn't flow naturally during the early stages, if the energy isn't reciprocated, or if you simply don't feel that connection, why should anyone be expected to force something that isn't there?

You can appreciate someone as a person without necessarily seeing them as your person.

I've also come across posts from people wondering why they aren't getting matches, why conversations suddenly stop, or whether there's something wrong with them.

And here's what I think.

Sometimes, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you.

You're simply not everyone's cup of tea, just as not everyone will be yours.

Perhaps the timing isn't right. Perhaps the connection isn't there. Perhaps the person you're interested in is at a completely different stage of life.

And sometimes, rejection isn't a reflection of your worth. It's simply a reflection of incompatibility.

We need to stop treating every unsuccessful interaction as a personal failure.

Not every conversation has to lead to marriage. Not every match has to develop into something meaningful. And not everyone who crosses our path is meant to stay.

Some people teach us what we want. Others remind us of what we no longer wish to tolerate.

And sometimes, we learn more about ourselves through these interactions than we do about the people we're talking to.

At the same time, I believe that whatever our intentions may be, basic respect, honesty, and consideration should NEVER be optional.

If you're not interested, communicate respectfully. If you're not ready, be upfront about it. If your intentions change, have the maturity to say so!

You don't owe everyone a relationship, but that doesn't mean you should be careless with someone's feelings.

We are all adults here, carrying different stories, experiences, disappointments, responsibilities, and perhaps even wounds that others know nothing about.

Some are ready to love again. Some are still learning how to trust. Some are cautiously opening doors they once promised themselves they would never open again.

And some are simply trying to rediscover themselves along the way.

So perhaps, instead of questioning why someone is here, we should learn to respect that everyone's journey looks different.

Marriage is beautiful, but being married is not the ultimate measurement of happiness or success.

Being single isn't a failure. Taking your time isn't wasting time. Having standards doesn't make you arrogant. And choosing peace over companionship doesn't mean you've given up on love.

Personally, I would rather remain single than enter a relationship simply for the sake of having someone.

Because at this stage of life, I'm no longer interested in just having a person beside me. I value peace, emotional safety, mutual respect, and a connection that doesn't require me to constantly question where I stand.

And if that takes time, then so be it!

At the end of the day, we're all looking for something. But what we're looking for doesn't necessarily have to look the same.

So swipe respectfully, communicate honestly, and be kind.

You never know what someone had to go through just to find the courage to put themselves out there again.

And remember, not being someone's choice doesn't make you any less worthy of being chosen.

May Allah grant each of us what is best for us, at the time that is best for us. And until then, may we find contentment in whatever season of life we're in.

Because finding someone is a blessing, but finding peace within yourself is one too.. 🤍

So tell me some rasict countries of the world?

Hi coffee anyone?

What are your thoughts about maulid rasul?
The Prophet S.A.W and his companions have never done it, so why does SG? And some other celebrate it?
I love the prophet S.A.W but I dont celebrate it.

I'm beginning to suspect the ratio of single men genuinely seeking marriage to women I seem to encounter who are emotionally, romantically, spiritually, geographically, or psychologically unavailable is approximately 1 : 297,848,738,639.

Muzz is genuinely fascinating. It's the only place where people sign up specifically to get married, then react to someone wanting marriage like they've just been served a court summons. 🙄

"I'm serious about marriage, but I'm not ready."

"I'm looking for my soulmate, but I'm focusing on myself."

"I'm emotionally available, but I need space."

At this point, I'm convinced I'll find a wife faster by putting a marriage proposal in a bottle and throwing it into the waters off Sentosa. Even the fish seem more committed.

Why Sentosa? Because if I'm destined to marry seafood, at least let it be angmoh seafood lah. I have standards too you know. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Anyway, may Allah grant us all righteous spouses. Preferably before the next geological era. Ameen. 🤲🏼
