"Get better every day, conquer yourself, then the World."
I'm Muhammad Abdullah Tariq — a Hafiz-ul-Qur'an, Multi-Cloud Security Architect, and builder at heart. Born and raised between Kuwait and Pakistan, I spent 13 years in each — a dual upbringing that gave me international exposure, bilingual fluency, and an unshakeable connection to both my faith and my roots.
I carry the Qur'an in my heart and cybersecurity in my hands. My grandmother (رحمها الله) called me her one-of-a-kind — and I've spent my life living up to that. I believe in building things that outlast me: systems, knowledge, relationships, and legacy.
Sic Parvis Magna — Greatness from small beginnings. From a kid in Kuwait to a global security architect, every great journey starts with a single step.

9+ sports. 50+ books. 7 languages. Chess strategist. I don't believe in half-measures — intensity is a way of life.
Plan, work relentlessly, then trust in Allah's decree
My word is my bond — honesty above everything
1% better every day — compounding growth mindset
I build systems, skills, and relationships that last
Parents, siblings, elders — family is everything
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing to the highest standard
What I'm working towards — in this Dunya and for the Aakhirah

— My Grandmother (رحمها الله)Anime • Games • Books • Movies • Fantasy — The stories that forged who I am
"I will be the very best, like no one ever was!"
The fictional worlds that taught me real-world truths
Goku taught me that there is always another level. No ceiling is real. Every defeat is a setup for a greater comeback. Vegeta taught me that pride can fuel greatness — the prince who refuses to be second-best.
"I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace."
— Son GokuThe boy everyone dismissed became Hokage. Naruto proved that relentless effort, belief in yourself, and bonds with others can overcome any natural gift. Rock Lee embodied this in its purest form — no ninjutsu, just willpower.
"I'm not gonna run away, I never go back on my word! That's my nindo: my ninja way!"
— Naruto UzumakiLuffy taught me the value of unwavering conviction, loyalty to your crew, and the freedom to chase impossible dreams. The treasure isn't gold — it's the journey and the people beside you.
"I don't want to conquer anything. I just think the guy with the most freedom in the whole ocean is the Pirate King!"
— Monkey D. LuffyNothing is free. To gain anything, you must give something of equal value. Ed and Al's journey taught me about sacrifice, the cost of ambition, and the power of brotherhood.
"A lesson without pain is meaningless. You cannot gain anything without sacrificing something."
— Edward ElricThe battle of wits between Light and L taught me that intelligence is the ultimate weapon, but hubris is the ultimate downfall. Strategy, deduction, and staying ten steps ahead — or knowing when to step back.
"In this world, there are very few people who actually trust each other."
— L LawlietTanjiro's unwavering love for Nezuko and his relentless kindness — even toward demons — taught me that compassion is not weakness, it's the greatest strength. Family is everything.
"No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living."
— Tanjiro KamadoGojo's unshakeable confidence and Yuji's refusal to quit taught me about raw self-belief, walking your own path, and embracing the arrogance that comes with being built different.
"Throughout the heavens and earth, I alone am the honoured one."
— Satoru GojoSung Jin-Woo went from the weakest hunter to the Shadow Monarch. Grind in silence, let your level speak. Every dungeon cleared, every boss defeated — the system rewards those who never stop.
"I am not a player who was chosen. I was the one who chose to level up."
— Sung Jin-WooBe the very best in your field. Collect skills, earn badges, level up, never stop the journey. Every region is a new challenge.
Teamwork makes the dream work. Your partner evolves when you evolve. Bonds amplify power. Together, you digivolve beyond limits.
Fighting for freedom no matter the cost. Erwin leading from the front. The walls we build become the cages we must break.
Aang's journey taught me about balance, duty, and the burden of destiny. Uncle Iroh became the wise mentor every young man needs — patience, tea, and wisdom.
"It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale."
— Uncle IrohSlytherin ambition, Grindelwald's vision, Dumbledore's wisdom — the series that taught an entire generation about courage, love, and choosing what is right over what is easy.
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
— Albus DumbledoreStories, strategy, and survival — every game leaves a lesson
Kratos — controlled rage, redemption, and the weight of fatherhood. "Be better" — the simplest and most powerful lesson.
"Do not be sorry. Be better."
— KratosNathan Drake — the thrill of exploration, thinking on your feet, and that sometimes the greatest treasure is the people waiting back home.
"Sic Parvis Magna — Greatness from small beginnings."
— Nathan DrakeJoel and Ellie — love makes you vulnerable and invincible. Protecting those you love is the most human instinct.
"Endure and survive."
— EllieGeralt of Rivia — moral complexity, the lesser evil, and that neutrality is its own kind of courage. Sometimes the monster is human.
"Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling — it's all the same."
— Geralt of RiviaNothing is true, everything is permitted. History, stealth, the hidden blade — the creed taught me to question everything and trust in the leap of faith.
"We work in the dark to serve the light."
— The Assassin Brotherhood"With great power comes great responsibility." Peter Parker — being a hero isn't about the suit — it's about the choices you make when no one is watching.
Jin Sakai — honour vs. pragmatism, the samurai spirit, and doing what must be done to protect your homeland even if it costs you everything.
Lara Croft — relentless curiosity, survival instinct, and proving that intellect and grit outmatch brute force every time.
Chess, strategy games, tactical RPGs — thinking ahead, resource management, and calculated risk. The board is a mirror of life.
Read your opponent, adapt, execute. Fighting games taught me timing, patience, and that mastery comes from thousands of rounds lost.
Teamwork, tactics, and clutch moments. Whether it's a 90th-minute winner or a championship run — sports games mirror real competition.
Discipline, conditioning, mental warfare. MMA taught me that the fight is won before you step in the octagon — preparation is everything.
The films and shows that left a permanent mark
Nolan's masterpiece. Bruce Wayne taught me about rising after falling, and the Joker showed me that chaos tests your principles.
"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."
— Bruce WayneThe transformation of Walter White — a masterclass in ambition unchecked. Chemistry, empire-building, and the cost of letting ego consume you.
"I am the one who knocks."
— Walter WhiteThomas Shelby — strategic brilliance, family loyalty, and building an empire from nothing. By order of the Peaky Blinders.
"Everyone's a whore, Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves."

"Come back with your shield — or on it."
— Spartan Mother's farewellPaul Atreides — destiny, leadership, and the burden of prescience. The spice must flow, and the one who controls the spice controls the universe.
"Fear is the mind-killer."

Meaningful questions to understand alignment in deen, values, and life vision
To be asked conversationally — not as an interrogation
These questions are meant to be asked conversationally, not as an interrogation. Some may be asked directly, others through family. The goal is to understand alignment in deen, practice, values, and life objectives.
I ask these questions, so it is only fair I answer them first. Here is who I am, in my own words.
1. Parents — education, profession, and involvement in deen.
My father (رحمه الله) was an MBA graduate from the prestigious IBA Karachi, a CISA auditor, and worked as Lead IT Auditor for a multinational in Kuwait's oil industry. He also taught at IBA. He was deeply active in tableegh — he and my mother traveled in Jamaat internationally to Germany, South Africa, and other countries. In Kuwait, he worked closely with locals and Arabs in dawah efforts. He was also a student at Dar Ul Quran alongside me, where we studied with Arab students and learned from Arab sheikhs. He passed away on July 17th 2022 in Kuwait — we were with him and were able to spend quality time together. His legacy lives on at matx104.github.io/legacy-of-tariq-mahmood-sahab.
My mother is a top graduate of the very first batch of Madrasa Ayesha (Islamic Sciences). She has spent her life teaching and spreading Islamic knowledge, doing tableegh with my father, hosting jamaats, and doing nusrah. Her worldly education is up to Matric, but she has never stopped learning through teaching.
2. Siblings — education, professions, and religious practice.
I am the eldest of 4 brothers. My second brother is graduating his Bachelor's in Cybersecurity. The third is completing his BBA 2nd year. The youngest is concluding his A-Levels (IGCSE). All 3 married sisters are settled — eldest in Karachi (husband runs an established family business), second in Qatar (husband is Lead Data Scientist at a major MNC), and third in UAE (husband is Lead Aeronautical Engineer for Emirates Group).
3. Maternal and paternal family.
My paternal grandfather (رحمه الله) was from Sargodha, Punjab — a retired engineer from the Pakistan Air Force. He passed away in 2007, after which we moved to Kuwait. My maternal family is from Kashmir and is from the Syed family.
4. Family's connection with Islamic work and tableegh?
Deeply rooted. My parents traveled in Tablighi Jamaat internationally — Germany, South Africa, and other countries. They hosted jamaats and did nusrah regularly. My father was very active in Kuwait, working with locals and Arabs. They instilled this practice in us — I went on 40 days with my father and brothers in 2016, then 40 days again with my brothers (3 of us) in 2018. I spent 4 months in Tablighi Jamaat in 2019 after completing my intermediate studies. Currently staying active in local efforts, and planning to go for 40 days again after my convocation, InshaAllah. Deen is the foundation of our family.
5. Which Islamic Fiqh does your family follow?
Sunni Islam, Hanafi Fiqh.
6. Where has your family lived, and what has been your lifestyle?
13 years in Kuwait (Salmiya, Khaitan) and 13 years in Pakistan (Karachi). A balanced lifestyle rooted in deen, education, and family values — living modestly but with dignity.
7. What Islamic education have you completed?
Complete Hifz-ul-Qur'an (30 Juz, 114 Surahs, 6,236 Ayat) from Markaz Ul Usman, Khaitan, Kuwait. 4-year Islamic Sciences Program from Dar Ul Quran (Markaz Abdullah Al Mutawwa), Rumaithiyah, Kuwait — covering Seerah, Tajweed, Hadith, Aqeedah, Fiqh, and Tafseer.
8. Have you studied any Islamic texts?
Yes — the Qur'an is my daily companion. I have studied Hadith collections, texts on Fiqh, Aqeedah, Tafseer, and Seerah during my 4-year program. I continue to read and study Islamic literature.
9. Where and from whom have you studied deen?
Formally at Markaz Ul Usman and Dar Ul Quran in Kuwait — where my father and I studied together with Arab students under Arab sheikhs. Informally, from my mother — a graduate of Madrasa Ayesha — who has been my first and most enduring teacher of deen.
10. Are you Hafiz? How much Quran have you memorized?
Yes, Alhamdulillah — I am a Hafiz-ul-Qur'an. Complete memorization of all 30 Juz.
11. Daily routine regarding prayers, Quran, and dhikr?
Regular in all five daily prayers. Daily Qur'an recitation and revision of Hifz. Du'a and dhikr throughout the day. Taraweeh during Ramadan. I strive to embody the character of the Prophet ﷺ in everything I do.
12. Do you have any Islamic teaching experience?
I have taught and shared Islamic knowledge in community settings and through dawah work during Tablighi Jamaat — 40 days twice and 4 months once. Currently active in local efforts and community engagement. My mother's example of lifelong teaching inspires me to continue.
13. What Islamic scholars have influenced you most?
I know some of my Arab sheikhs and teachers at Dar Ul Quran personally. Beyond that, I regularly listen to and learn from Mufti Menk, Sheikh Ahmed Deedat (رحمه الله), Nouman Ali Khan, Omar Suleiman, and more. My mother — whose lifelong dedication to Islamic education has shaped my understanding of deen more than anyone.
14. How do you continue your Islamic education now?
Through daily Qur'an study, reading Islamic texts, listening to scholars (Mufti Menk, Nouman Ali Khan, Omar Suleiman), staying active in local tableegh efforts, planning 40 days after convocation, and the long-term dream of pursuing formal Islamic studies in Madinah Al-Munawwarah, InshaAllah.
15. Most important qualities in a wife?
Loyalty. Drive. Purpose. Mission-oriented. Ambition. Pride in who she is and what she stands for.
16. Your strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths: Quick learner, confident, I take on any challenge head-on, I get the job done, and I am a joy to be around within my trusted circle.
Weaknesses: I have many interests and sometimes leave things unfinished chasing the next thing. I aim for perfection and can't submit until it's done. I hold myself to standards higher than most, and my criteria for success is beyond what is considered normal.
17. How do you handle disagreements?
With conversation. I don't let things fester — I don't let weeds grow in my garden. I solve problems head-on, applying gentleness where needed, but never avoiding the issue.
18. What does sabr mean to you?
Understanding that we are all different and we all experience things differently. Sabr means trying to understand each other with patience instead of enforcing our own worldview onto others.
19. How do you practice shukr (gratitude)?
I am eternally grateful on a daily basis. This life is an opportunity to enhance our station — life is a form of worship. We can be selfish and live according to our whims, or we can live in the service of Allah according to Islam. I choose the latter, and that itself is shukr.
20. Role in serving the community?
A net positive impact. I want to solve problems — I come up with creative and effective solutions to the world's most complex challenges, then implement them at scale. Making life easier for the Ummah, one individual at a time, using my tools, technologies, gifts, and talents.
21. How important is forgiveness?
Very important — we are humans and mistakes will be made. But blind forgiveness is not the way. Forgiveness comes after a lesson is learned. If lessons are not learned, mistakes will be repeated. Our job is to help each other grow from mistakes, not leave each other to our own devices. Support and growth — individual and collective — is the goal.
22. Your expectations from marriage?
Marriage is completion. Human beings are social — but there is a level of trust and closeness that one can only share with their other half. No other role could fill that gap. Pairings are made by Allah, pre-destined. Marriage for me is destiny — part of the natural order.
23. Qualities you want in your wife?
Loyalty, ambition, drive, purpose, pride. Someone who has goals and is actively working towards them. Someone who doesn't need to be led — a partner, not a follower. Someone who will inspire me as much as I hope to inspire her.
24. Household environment you want to create?
A household built on a balanced approach — Deen and Dunya together. Deen is the single source of truth. Dunya is important, and Deen teaches us how to live in it. You should thrive, not just survive. Many of the Sahabah and Prophets like Hazrat Sulaiman and Dawood (AS) were very successful. Success in Dunya comes by Allah's blessings, but Insaan will not get something unless he strives for it. That is the mindset I want to cultivate at home.
25. Raising children with Islamic tarbiyah?
I have learned from my parents and the household they cultivated. Leading by example — children do what they see, not what they're told. Qur'an, Islamic knowledge, good character, and excellence in both Deen and Dunya. Raising children who carry the Qur'an and are equipped to thrive in the modern world.
26. Your role as a husband and father?
Leading with deen. True partnership — supporting her dreams as she supports mine. Providing financial security and a comfortable home. Being a present, involved father InshaAllah. Open communication and a safe space for honest dialogue. Continuous growth as a Muslim and partner.
27. Balancing deen and dunya?
Deen and Dunya are not opposites — Deen guides how we navigate Dunya. Strive for the best, then pray to Allah for success. Tawakkul: plan, work hard, then trust in Allah's plan. That is the balance.
28. Views on in-laws?
The parents of my wife will be treated with the same respect I give my own parents — by association and by the teachings of Islam. I expect the same in return. I support a semi-joint family setup — families living in the same community, same masjid, same neighbourhood, but in separate houses. Enough closeness for support, enough space for peace. Shaitaan is ever present to whisper, and I don't like making it easy for friction to develop.
29. Your academic/professional education?
BS Cybersecurity from ILMA University (Cloud Security, Network Defense, Security Architecture). Diploma in AI Operations (Level 6) from Al Nafi International College. O-Levels from NPIS Kuwait. Higher Secondary from ISCP Kuwait. 60+ professional certifications including CISSP (age 22) and CCSP.
30. Skills you have?
Kuwaiti-Pakistani fusion cooking (self-proclaimed master), multi-cloud architecture and security, chess, 9+ sports, 7 languages, technical writing, creative problem-solving, and an ability to learn anything I set my mind to.
31. Professional qualifications or work experience?
Lead CloudOps Manager & Multi-Cloud DevSecOps Engineer. 6+ years enterprise experience. Managing 5 production cloud environments. 60+ certifications verified on Credly. Triple-cloud certified (AWS, GCP, Azure).
32. Continuing education after marriage?
Absolutely — education never stops. Pursuing CISA, CISM, OSCP, and advanced certifications. Long-term goal to study Islamic sciences in Madinah. I believe in Kaizen — 1% better every single day. Marriage enhances this journey, it doesn't pause it.
33. Your hobbies and interests?
Football, cricket, gym, boxing, table tennis, chess, gaming (God of War, TLOU, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed), anime (Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, JJK, Solo Leveling), reading (50+ books), cooking, learning languages, and exploring new technologies.
34. Where do you want to live after marriage?
Long-term, I plan to settle back in the Gulf — in Kuwait — and eventually in Madinah Al-Munawwarah (in preparation for the end times, and because I pray for a place in Jannatul Baqee). Before that, my work and studies may take me to the UK and Canada — but I will not settle there permanently. The goal is to gain experience, develop professionally, and bring that knowledge back home to Pakistan.
35. Are you willing to live in Karachi?
Yes — Karachi is home and base. But I don't plan to stay in one place permanently. Life is a journey, and where my work, studies, and mission take me is where I'll go, InshaAllah.
36. Long-term goals for deen and dunya?
Everlasting growth and learning. Travel to learn, develop, launch businesses, and solve problems around the world. Establish a legacy in cloud security and cybersecurity. Pursue Islamic studies in Madinah. Bring quantum computing to Pakistan. Build a righteous family that carries the Qur'an.
37. Vision for the next 20-25 years?
Growth — personal, spiritual, professional, and as a family. Travel, business ventures, global impact, advancing Pakistan's technology landscape, deepening my deen, raising righteous children, and building something that outlasts me.
38. Involvement in dawah/tableegh?
Yes — spending my life learning deen, practicing what I learn, and doing what I can to preach and spread it. Whether through community work, technology platforms, writing, or personal example. Dawah is not just speeches — it's how you live.
39. Growing in deen throughout life?
Through continuous learning, daily practice, seeking knowledge from scholars, and eventually pursuing formal Islamic education in Madinah. Deen is not a destination — it's a lifelong journey of getting closer to Allah, one day at a time.
40. When would you like to marry?
Within the next 12 months maximum — the sooner the better. A reasonable timeline in my view is 4-6 months. I'm ready, Alhamdulillah.
41. Nikah ceremony preferences?
In an ideal world, I would love to conduct the Nikah in Madinah Al-Munawwarah. But wherever it happens, it should be simple and straightforward — focused on the blessing, not the spectacle.
42. Expectations regarding mahr?
This is for the bride to decide — how much, when, and how. Mahr Fatmi is a good baseline (minimum). It is her right, both legally and religiously binding on me. I take this seriously.
43. Simplicity vs. elaborate functions?
I prefer to keep things simple. The expenses saved will be better spent by the couple as they wish. Simple and standard, but not too vanilla — close family and friends, done with dignity and gratitude.
44. Ideal day in married life?
Fajr together. Qur'an. A productive day — each pursuing their work, goals, and growth. Coming together in the evening for quality time, conversation, and laughter. Building something together every single day — spiritually, personally, and as a team.
45. How do you spend your free time?
Learning new things or practicing what I've learned. I am an explorer at heart — currently I explore logically (technology, books, ideas), but one day I hope to explore physically too — traveling the world.
46. Views on extended family involvement?
Semi-joint family setup. Families living in the same community, same masjid, same neighbourhood — but separate houses. Close enough for love and support, separate enough for peace and independence. Respect for both sides, always.
47. How do you define success in marriage?
If the couple finds sakeenah and happiness in one another — that is success. If their children look at them and think, "that is the sort of marriage I want for myself" — that is success. If Allah is happy with that couple — that is the ultimate success.
48. Your non-negotiables?
I don't accept laziness. I don't want someone who is simply spending life instead of living it. Someone with no goals, no ambitions, no pride. I don't want followers and yes-men. I want a partner who stands for something and is actively building towards it.
49. Questions for you and your family?
The questions above are my questions to you — I've answered them first to lead by example. I look forward to hearing your answers and your questions for me.
50. Anything else to know?
Everything worth knowing is on this site — but it's only the beginning. The real conversation happens in person, with family, with du'a, and with tawakkul in Allah's plan. I am an open book.
