I am an educated, fun muslim woman with more curiosity than her resident cat.   I am comfortable at black-tie opera as well as at local mall concerts.   I am a foodie (consequence of living in 7+ countries and frequent travel) who is at home in a Michelin-starred restaurant as well as the local ethnic food restaurant.   While I  eat “halal”, I experiment with the more unusual ingredients from the sea and critter world! 

I am from a loving, close knit family and have a small circle of very close friends.   My son, who is at college, keeps me young and at times makes me feel very old. I have a reputation of being fiercely protective of my friends, family and my team at work.  
 
I love spending time with family and friends and bring lots of spontaneity and warmth to this circle but also value and protect my “me-time”.  An invitation to my daily walk is like being invited to attend the opening of parliament in person!
  
I am  independent in a way that only a  deeply religious person can be.   The Quran is the light which has propped me in both the trials and blessings of this life and will be my light on the day I meet Allah (SWT).  A big axis of my life is charity and volunteering.  I love to read, with religion, space, technology, and history being the current focus.  

I enjoy having a good laugh and can make my friends literally roll on the carpet.    I enjoy hiking, nature, outdoors,  traveling and learning new things.   I have tried a multitude of hobbies ranging from diving to floral arrangements to stamp collection.   Taking care of my health, and maintaining my intellect and high energy are important. 

I do not ascribe to any nationality and my friends are from all over the world. I live “independent” of the opinion of people and do not worry about the “Joneses” (unless it is my neighbor's bunny “Jones”). I enjoy the company of friends but am not frantically social.   I am the “go to person” if anyone at work, in the family or friends needs help.

The Quran describes marriage beautifully as Libas.  Shared values and respect for each other are the corner-stone of marriage which bring about peace in the household. A marriage has to allow for closeness and mutual care as well as space and respect for differences. I am looking for a person who will align to the fiqh in his approach to life and marriage without being self-righteous. 


I love travelling, archaeology and trying different types of food.   I am quite social but also enjoy the "me time". I am quite well-read and well travelled.   I enjoy interacting with people who are similar.

While  I like having a career and financial independence,  I also love the idea of sharing my life with a partner.  I feel that shared values and respect for each other are the corner-stone of marriage. A marriage has to allow for closeness and mutual care as well as space.
