Muslims in the UK

Do you invest your money?
If so, I'm interested to find out what?

Like gold, stocks, Gilts, Bonds, ETFs, NFTs, businesses via crowdfunding, etc.

My story: I want to share a serious warning for everyone to be extremely careful when considering marriage, especially in Bangladesh, India, or Pakistan. As someone born and raised in the UK and living with a rare disability, I went into this marriage hoping for a loyal partner. I made the mistake of getting married too quickly. My family warned me that she was bad news, but I didn’t listen because I was so blinded by love. I learned a brutal lesson about trust. She had no routine—she slept all day and was awake all night on social media. Even when I told her to sleep and fix her schedule, she wouldn't listen. She also disrespected my family. When I went back to the UK, she gave me her password just to trick me, and then immediately logged me off. I eventually found out that while I was in London, she was secretly talking to her ex behind my back. The betrayal was real, but in the end, I walked away the winner. I am free and back home living my life in the UK. My family feels sorry for me, but it is okay because I know they still love me and support me. Now, I am ready to move forward and get remarried soon, whether the person is in the UK or Bangladesh. But this time, things will be different. I am going to take my time, do a full background check on her entire family and her 'Bari' to make sure I know exactly who I am marrying. I won't make the same mistake twice. I am currently building my career to become a professional coach for Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Wrestling, and Olympic weightlifting. I am working hard to secure my future and am looking for a serious, halal marriage with a sincere woman. Be safe, do your homework, take your time, and protect your heart.

Need some advice: I'm in a thankful position in my life where I can afford a really good house. Like buy that sh't outright, zero mortgage or anything. And I've always either wanted to buy a house with a wife or buy after marriage.

Marriage is a while away, Do I buy a house now?
But if I do, I'd be less interested in relocating for my wife.
And would be harder to find somewhere that matches what I have.

Or

Do I continue to wait to buy?
Keep stacking the cash and keep building.

Though alternatively, I could rent a nice place.
Found a cool spot on shaftebury Ave, 2 bed. £3k.
As well as a 3 bed house for £2.5k in Peckham.
But I'd be locked in for a good year or two if I do.

Salam people anyone want a chat DM me

Salam everyone

Why Marriage Is a Trust from Allah, Not Just Personal Fulfillment

Modern culture often treats marriage as a source of personal happiness and emotional fulfillment. When that expectation isn’t met, people quickly question whether they chose the “right person.”

From an Islamic perspective, marriage is not centered on constant emotional satisfaction. It is an amanah (trust) from Allah and a means of growth, responsibility, and self-refinement.

The person you are with is not necessarily perfect, but may be the right companion for your development in that stage of life. Marriage reveals ego, patience, selfishness, and emotional limits — and through that, both spouses are meant to grow.

Struggles in marriage do not automatically mean failure. Hardship is often part of building deeper love, trust, and maturity. A strong marriage is sustained not by constant comfort, but by patience, mercy, commitment, and shared responsibility.

Marriage ultimately shifts the focus from self-centered fulfillment to mutual support and seeking Allah’s pleasure together through trials, sacrifice, and growth beyond the ego.

Liquid Love: The Chemistry of Romance and the Illusion of Forever

Romantic love is often described as destiny, soul connection, or emotional transcendence, yet much of what people experience during attraction is deeply tied to biology and hormonal stimulation. The intensity of love can feel eternal, but science shows that many of the emotions associated with romance are heavily influenced by neurochemistry operating beneath conscious awareness.

When people fall in love, the brain releases powerful chemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and adrenaline. Dopamine creates feelings of pleasure, motivation, obsession, and reward. This is why early romance can feel addictive, euphoric, and mentally consuming. Oxytocin, often called the “bonding hormone,” strengthens attachment and emotional closeness, especially through physical affection and intimacy. Adrenaline increases excitement, nervousness, and heightened emotional intensity, while serotonin fluctuations can contribute to intrusive thinking and emotional fixation on another person.

This is one reason romantic love can feel overwhelming and irrational. People often believe they are making purely emotional or spiritual choices, while their perception is also being shaped by temporary biochemical states. What feels like absolute certainty in one moment can later dissolve as hormonal intensity fades.

The idea of “liquid love” reflects the instability of modern relationships. In contemporary culture, love is often treated as fluid, temporary, and dependent on emotional stimulation rather than long-term commitment, sacrifice, or shared responsibility. Many relationships today are built on emotional highs and personal gratification rather than patience, loyalty, endurance, and deeper compatibility.

This does not mean love is fake or meaningless. Human emotions are real, and biological processes do not invalidate emotional connection. Rather, it suggests that romance alone is not always a reliable foundation for lasting relationships. Chemistry can initiate attachment, but it cannot sustain commitment by itself.

Long-term love often evolves beyond hormonal intensity into something quieter and more deliberate. What begins as passion eventually requires character, discipline, trust, emotional maturity, forgiveness, and shared values to survive the realities of life.

Modern culture frequently glorifies the feeling of falling in love while neglecting the work required to remain in love. As a result, many people chase emotional stimulation repeatedly, mistaking temporary intensity for permanent compatibility.

Understanding the biological side of romance can create a more grounded view of relationships. Love is not only a feeling that happens to people; it is also a choice shaped by behavior, responsibility, sacrifice, and emotional awareness. The strongest relationships are rarely sustained by chemistry alone, but by what remains after the initial chemical intoxication fades.

So I matched with a girl today. First message she sends me: What do I Mean by "I want a wife but I don't need a wife"

My reply: "It means just as you read it. I don't need a wife, but I want a wife. If you decide in a year's time that your leaving. I'm not going to get on all 4rs begging for you to stay. If you want to leave - I'll open the door for you, pack your bags, and book you a train ticket back to your parents house"

Well, she got super P'd off and went on a rant before I matching me. And soon after blocked me.

So what did she expect? I'm going to beg her for marriage.
What people need to understand is that, I'm in a pretty chilled position.
Besides seggs, kids and company - she didn't offer anything of value.
Seggs - plenty of women out there
Kids - Adoption (Bruce wayne style)
Company - Get a dog 🐕

I want a wife. And I'd choose someone that I can be 💯 with. Rather than someone who expects to control me and thinks they should be above me.

Though there is one woman on here, that I deffo WANT.
She don't give her trust easily, so I'm hoping to earn her and it.
Because at the end of the day - she's 1000% worth it and 1000% a keeper.

Can everyone please be aware of this person profile. This is the first time im commenting on a persons post and im doing it so that people can be cautious, but what is this awful disgusting nonsense? Isnt this meant to be a muslim marriage platform?
