What does it actually take to find the right person, and are most Muslims approaching it completely backwards? In this OnePath Podcast, relationship coach Hannah El-Gashingi joins us for an honest, Sharia-grounded conversation on love, marriage readiness, and what nobody teaches Muslim singles before they start looking.
We cover the red and green flag mentality and why it misses the point entirely, what Islamic personal development actually looks like before you enter the marriage process, the five topics every Muslim should discuss when getting to know a potential spouse, how to handle the social pressure of still being single in your 30s, and the real difference between planning a wedding and building a marriage.
Hannah also shares her own deeply personal journey, including losing her mother before finding her husband, the grey jumper she bought for a man she had never met, and how shifting from dua made in despair to dua made with hope changed everything for her.
Hannah El-Gashingi is a certified relationship coach and co-founder of The Muslim Love Coaches, an Instagram platform she runs alongside her husband offering Islamic-grounded relationship coaching for Muslim singles and married couples. Her work focuses on pre-marriage readiness, values alignment, emotional intelligence, and building marriages that last.
