WE PRIORITIZE QUALITY

My name is Cecil John Howell and I am a practicing Muslim. Islam is the center of my life. As a professional, I have built my career as an executive headhunter for global fortune 500 fashion and real estate companies.

With the creation of Men of Dean, I have found the perfect way for me apply my expertise for the sake of Allah (swt) and to the benefit of the Ummah. Alhamdulilah. As the world’s first HeartHunter, my success is now tied my mission; to find the other half of your Deen, inshallah!

I have seen and experienced the beauty of the Islamic process for finding a spouse and how the Quran and Sunnah provide us, as Muslims, with a framework, that eliminates many of the variables and pitfalls involved in trying to find your spouse. The reality is that dating apps were not designed for Muslims and in many ways run contrary to our Islamic process. Indeed this ‘online dating environment often brings out the worst in our brothers and can be emotionally damaging to our sisters, As Muslims, we do not date: We find our spouses and we get married. I have modeled the Men of Deen matching process along our Islamic guidelines.
