Assalamualikum,

Faith, family and career. I consider myself a well-grounded practicing Muslim who puts God first. I value both religious and secular knowledge and open-mindedness. While I appreciate the beauty of different cultures, I follow the teachings of faith, more than the cultural practices (that are stereotypical and against the religion, i.e. gender roles, women, double standards & etc). I do not consider myself "religious" as others would term it, I see myself as a very practicing Muslim who is trying to improve every day. I believe we all have things we can improve on but I take religion very seriously and try my best to practice BEYOND the fundamentals of faith (praying 5x, fasts ect).  In life, I'd love to travel a lot to new places, countries, and gain more and experience, and witness Allah's beauty. As an individual, I am not simple nor extravagant, I'm all about the middle path and having balance. My friends say I'm a good listener. I'm health conscious and think it is essential to take care of our health as it is a gift from God.
