  100% Pakistani. 25 years old. Came to the United States when I was 10 years old, and I've been raised in Chicago ever since.
Looks: 5 ft tall, hijabi
Family: Mother, Father, 27 yo unmarried brother, younger 24 yo brother. 

I’m looking for my partner in crime for a life of building strong deen, character, & supporting each others' goals. I’m originally from Chicago (south suburbs) but currently I’m a first year medical student living in Virginia. Starting July/August 2018 though, there's a high chance that I'll be able to move to IL or Texas (among many other sites) for rotations.

Passionate about: building a strong and tight-knit family, continually improve my deen/character, lead an active, fit and healthy lifestyle, become a great physician, be kind to others, serve the community, and laugh as much as possible.

A big part of my worship of Allah swt is through community service and advocating for those that are undeserved. In the past, I've volunteered with refugees, those living in poverty, the medically uninsured; in the future, I'd love to focus on working with Muslim women and girls, especially in empowering them in their health and their deen. Including service in my life is really important to me and iA, I hope to also instill this value in my kids. I hope that me, my husband, and my kids would stay involved in serving others and being involved in the masjid/Islamic organizations. 

My ideal future marriage: a positive environment, where we try to focus on not fighting but rather having open direct communication, we support each through ups & downs, genuinely be each others’ best friends. Filled with lots of affection, staying committed to each other. Grow together. Divorce isn’t an option/ a very, very last option.

My ideal future family: a tight-knit family that works out together, prays together, and is involved in the Muslim community & in community service

I'm really good at:
Being a good listener
Relating with others
Helping others
Planning & thinking long-term

My personality/ How my friends would describe: 
- Ambivert; Can be introverted & spend lots of time in quiet reflection, but in large groups (which I love being in) I'm often very social/friendly/constant laughing
- I "recharge" by being introverted & spending time with only 1 or 2 other people
- Very mature, a good listener, caring, affectionate/touchy, compassionate, genuine person, loyal, perseverant, takes initiative to fix something that's hurting others, can be emotional at times

The first thing people notice about me:
Many people have actually told me that my smile stood out to them

On a typical Friday evening I am:
At home chilling with family, Out to the movies/restaurant with my brothers/friends, At an Islamic lecture/event with friends, Volunteering somewhere. Sitting in my sun room journaling or reading.
