I was born in the US to Kashmiri parents and am an American, a Muslim, and a citizen of the world. I've studied in Costa Rica, Syria, and on the East coast as well as the Midwest and love travel and adventuring with family and friends. I'm generally a kind and peaceful person who prefers harmony and striving for inner peace through appreciating reality as it is now. I try to make wudu mindfully, aim to stay present in salah, and strive to reflect in dhikr and recitation of Quran. Here are words that describe me: calm friendly strong coura easygoing I grew up in Islamic work in the US- but the best thing that happened to me was studying Quran & Tajweed in Syria and bringing that understanding into a new phase of life. I serve on the board of a non-profit and have my own small consultancy in the field of education. I'm an avid Liverpool F.C. & Jurgen Klopp fan. Love sports, played field hockey, basketball, and was an equestrian growing up. I'm an ENFP in the MBTI designation, and an enneagram 9w8 I don't preoccupy myself with too much worry about the future. I try to take care of the present and things work out just fine, alhumdulilah

If you are a person who lives what you love, then I'm interested :) What I would appreciate in a spouse is: -Your confidence in me and unwavering patience -Your physical and emotional warmth -Your patience and comfort during times of difficulty -Recommendations in hobbies and activities -Your humble self-assurance and generosity - lastly, someone who has loved this beautiful prophetic way of life enough not to have had intimate relations outside of marriage. You have stayed away from pornography, not engaged in phone sex, are not sexting women, and guard your gaze. You don't go clubbing and it didn't lure you in when you were younger, alhumdulilah. You love the body Allah swt has given you and obey his prescription to refrain from drugs, alcohol etc. and you exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Patience is one of my strong suits, and I crave it in a partner. Through times of uncertainty and conflict, I deeply appreciate a spouse with a steady ear and a calm, kind, mature approach. If you are an INTJ or INFJ, then we should definitely at least talk Best wishes! Light & Love
