Azeezah Hashim Steps Back From Dating to Focus on Personal Growth

Azeezah Hashim has shared why she is intentionally stepping away from romance for three years, explaining that the break is part of a structured plan to focus fully on herself. During an open conversation with film director Philip Karanja, the celebrated TV and radio personality said the choice is not driven by a lack of balance but by the importance of timing. She noted that her packed schedule often leaves little room for consistent communication. “I do not get time to date, because you will have a conversation with someone and after that, like the whole day, sijaingia WhatsApp so tutakosana tu bure,” she explained.

Azeezah added that the decision came from a personal commitment she set for her growth. “Is not that I do not have that balance, I do I think is just that timing is everything for me is like I have set a timeline for myself. I told myself three years, no man, no dating, no nothing.” Her structured approach reflects an effort to create space for clarity and discipline as she moves through an important phase of her journey.

Why does Azeezah view dating as spiritual?
A significant part of her decision is rooted in how she understands relationships. To her, dating is a deeply spiritual process that requires alignment with one’s mission and direction. “I also believe dating is very spiritual, and when you are at your peak, or you have a vision or a mission, you are going somewhere that process is very spiritual and alignment is everything,” she said. This perspective guides her choice to channel her energy inward, adding, “So I need my energy to be solely focused on me.”

Her stance on relationships also shapes her views on marriage. The celebrated corporate MC has shared before that she does not want any man to bring dowry. Her expectations are centered on genuine affection rather than cultural traditions. Speaking to YouTuber Silva Kiddo on September 27, 2025, she said, “I do not want a dowry. I only want love, and I have not set any bride price. I am not the one who should look for a man; it is the man who should present himself.”

Where does Azeezah stand on marriage today?
Despite being ready for marriage, she revealed that no man has approached her with a proposal. She remains patient and hopeful, stating that she has not received any communication regarding potential suitors. “I am still waiting to get married, and you know I cannot marry myself, yet you men have not come. There have been no proposals, and I have not received any news of a proposal. I do not have dowry, you can come just as you are,” she said.

Azeezah’s reflections highlight a growing trend among young adults who prioritize personal development and emotional alignment before entering relationships. Her clarity, discipline, and openness about her journey offer insight into how intentional dating choices can support long-term growth and fulfillment.
