   Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah, 

Most people would describe me as down to earth and approachable. Although I can come across an extrovert, I am actually an introvert. I enjoy time alone, reading, and just thinking (maybe a little too much?). I value helping others, keeping to my commitments and my word. I consider myself simple, and aim to not spend outside of my means. I would say, I am a compromiser both personally and professionally; the fastest route to a solution and avoiding conflict. I am finally accepting that I am a type-A personality, a planner (which can be a bad thing?). I don’t mind spontaneity, however, no planning seems like waste of time. This then naturally makes me gravitate towards those who work with a sense of purpose, not someone who has a laissez-fair approach to their work and responsibilities.

Islam plays an important role in my life and it is essential to the way I do and want to live. I fulfill the obligatory pillars conscientiously and consider myself to be God-conscience. I am a very self-reflective individual and find ways to improve myself continuously. Life for me is a test of our faith and the larger goal is to find our path to pleasing Allah and reaching Jannah inshAllah. I came to Canada when I was only four, and have been raised with the best of Canadian value while still holding onto the good cultural values. I uphold the requirements of hijab and modesty and wear the abaya. I am invested in seeking knowledge. I enjoy learning about the religion (Qur’an, Tafseer, Seerah, Fiqh) through classes, lectures and reading various books. A companion who can support me and/or learn with me on this journey is someone I am looking for. I am/want to work towards memorizing the Qur'an inshAllah and try my best to recite Qur'an everyday and it is important that my spouse also strives to maintain this connection.

For fun, I like hiking, exploring nature, long drives, spending time with family and travelling. I love espresso, so you can find me at my favourite spot reading a book on weekends. I have travelled for Umrah, Chicago, and San Francisco. One day I want to travel to Turkey, South East Asian, and Australia. I like watching documentaries and issues that are impacting the world around us. I try to limit movies and do not listen to music as I follow the ruling that it s not permissible. 

This is what I could think of for now.
