Sudan's gold mines, gum arabic, oil fields, and the role of resource extraction in funding and prolonging the war.
State Terrorism by Proxy: Satellite imagery and intelligence indicate #UAE-linked transfer of Turkish-made İHA-230 missiles to Ethiopia, potentially strengthening #RSF forces and expanding the threat to Sudanese cities https://t.co/XsyUDSw2bC
@crm_200 Pathetic pleas? That's the reason SAF military junta rejects every US+Quad truce, coz MB has Burhan's ear and makes decisions for him. We have lived in UAE 20+ years, they push for peace+civilian rule. #Sudan #UAE

If you were in my position, would you get married at 21? Pretty long story short: I’m 21, born and raised in the UAE, originally from Lahore. I lost my father young, which forced me to grow up and become independent pretty early and I’ve also bought my own house in the UAE and planning to purchase another home in ISB or Lahore early next year. Alhamdulillah, I now run my own HVAC contracting company in Dubai with employees, technicians and active projects. We’ve done around AED 1.4M in turnover over the last 12 months and are growing quickly. I’m financially independent I’m not mentioning any of that to flex, but because when people hear “21,” they usually assume you’re still studying, dependent on your parents or figuring life out. My circumstances have been a little different. I’m extremely ambitious and work a lot, but money isn’t the end goal for me. One of my biggest dreams is to eventually build a cancer hospital in my father’s name that provides free treatment to people who genuinely can’t afford it. Lately, though, I’ve started thinking more seriously about marriage. Even when business is going well, there’s still something missing. I want someone to actually share life with—not just a romantic relationship, but a genuine partner. Someone I can come home to, discuss ideas with, build a family with, grow in deen with, and know is genuinely on my side. I’d want to support her ambitions just as much. When I say “partner,” I don’t mean she needs to start reading AutoCAD drawings with me . I mean someone whose opinion I value, who can challenge me when I’m wrong, humble me when needed, and build a life together as a team. I also don’t want to spend the next 5–10 years dating or getting into haram relationships just because people think 21 is too young to marry. If marriage is something I ultimately want anyway, part of me thinks I should at least start looking seriously and halal now. At the same time, I understand financial stability doesn’t automatically make someone ready to be a husband. I’m still young, still learning, and I’ve never even had a proper relationship before. So that’s my dilemma: Would you seriously start looking for marriage at 21 and accept that finding the right person may take time? Or would you forget about it for a few years, keep building your career/business, and revisit it at 25–26? Because realistically, I’ll probably still be chasing bigger goals at 25, 30 and 40. I’d especially like to hear from people who married young, business owners, or anyone who had major ambitions when they got married. Did the right spouse help you build your life, or did marrying young make things harder? If you were genuinely in my position, what would you do?
21M | Self-Made Entrepreneur in UAE | Looking for a Serious Halal Marriage Previous post / more about me: https://www.reddit.com/r/PakistanMarriages/s/DFTQ4vCTrW Age: 21 Gender: Male Nationality: Pakistani Height: 5’6”–5’7” Weight: Approximately 80 kg — currently working on losing weight, getting fitter and becoming lean. Location: UAE — born and raised here. Family originally from Punjab Accommodation: Own house in the UAE (bought). Education: Completed 12th standard. I chose to focus on entrepreneurship and business from a young age rather than following the conventional university route. Profession / Income Source: Entrepreneur and business owner. I currently run an HVAC contracting company in Dubai with employees, technicians and multiple ongoing projects. I am financially independent and support my mother. Open to discussing financial details privately if things progress seriously. Marital Status: Single / Never married. Religion & How Practicing I Am: Muslim, Sunni. Deen is very important to me and is something I genuinely want to keep improving in throughout my life. I try to pray all five daily prayers and I fast during Ramadan. I eat halal and try to follow Islamic principles in my day-to-day life and the decisions I make. I’m not going to present myself as a perfect Muslim because I’m not, and I still have areas where I want to improve. What matters to me is continuing to become better, strengthening my relationship with Allah and having a marriage where both husband and wife encourage each other towards deen. I would like my marriage and the process leading towards it to remain respectful and halal. I also believe deen goes beyond just prayer and fasting — character, honesty, loyalty, fulfilling your responsibilities, treating your spouse well and being good towards your family are all extremely important to me. I would love to have a wife with whom I can grow Islamically over the years, remind each other when one of us falls short, pray together and Inshallah build a household where Islam is naturally part of our lives without expecting either person to be perfect. Hobbies & Interests: Entrepreneurship, business, personal growth, travelling, cars, learning new things and discussing new ideas. I’m also currently putting more focus into fitness and health. Family Details: My father passed away when I was young. My mother is a housewife and I support her. I have one sister who is married to an Emirati. We are a very small and close family. Requirements for a Partner: Looking for someone kind, intelligent, loyal, emotionally mature, understanding and family-oriented. Someone who takes marriage seriously and sees husband and wife as a team. I appreciate ambition as well — she doesn’t have to be an entrepreneur, but I’d love someone who has goals and wants to grow in life. Age Preference: I’m completely open to marrying someone older than me as well. If our personalities, values and goals align, her being older wouldn’t be an issue for me. I’m also open to someone from Pakistan or elsewhere if the compatibility is genuinely there. Deal Breakers: Dishonesty, disloyalty, lack of commitment, disrespect, consistently poor communication and not valuing family or marriage. Preferred Family Setup: I have a very small family, and it’s essentially just my mother at home with me. I support her and cannot leave her alone, so I would want my future wife to be comfortable with my mother continuing to live with us. I’m not looking for a large traditional joint-family setup — it’s simply that I have a responsibility towards my mother that I won’t walk away from. Do You Want Children?: Yes, Inshallah. Timeframe for Marriage: Looking seriously. I don’t want to rush into marrying the wrong person, but if I meet someone genuinely compatible and both families are comfortable, ideally within approximately a year. ⸻ A Little More About Me I made a previous post here explaining my story in much more detail, so rather than repeating everything, you can read the link at the top if you’d like to know more about me and why I’m considering marriage at 21. The short version is that I lost my father young, became independent quite early and have spent most of the last few years building my business and creating stability for myself. I’m extremely ambitious, but I’ve reached a stage where I don’t want life to be only about the next contract, business target or financial milestone. I’d like someone I can genuinely build a life with — someone whose opinion I value, who can challenge me when I’m wrong and who sees marriage as a partnership. One of my biggest long-term dreams, Inshallah, is to eventually build a cancer hospital in my father’s name that provides free treatment to people who genuinely cannot afford it. I want a spouse who understands that I dream big, while also helping me remember that life is about much more than business and money. Likewise, if she has ambitions of her own — whether that’s education, a career, business or something completely different — I’d want to support her just as strongly. I’m looking for something serious, genuine and halal. I’m not trying to rush into anything, but I am ready to start looking properly and see where Allah takes it. If this resonates with you, feel free to reach out and tell me a little about yourself, where you’re from, what you do and what you’re looking for in marriage. May Allah make it easy for everyone looking for the right person.
