I am a very caring and independent person. I have many friends alhamdulillah and I am close to my family. My children are very important to me and I am very close to my children and they are a big blessing in my life. 

I was raised in the United States and went to schools in the U.S. starting from 3rd grade. I went to college at George Washington University and then went on to medical school afterwards. I have been practicing medicine for 11 years since finishing residency. 

I married at the early age of 21 and was married for 20 years. I recently divorced from my husband of 19 years. I worked very hard to keep my marriage together but at the end decided that our differences were too great. I was separated from my husband for one year and then it took one year for our divorce to be finalized.

I really want to find the right person to get married to the second time around. I am a busy physician but I am looking for someone who I can enjoy the outdoors with and who can be a friend and companion. I have 7 children from my first marriage and my oldest got married at the age of 17. So I have 6 children at home and the 2nd oldest is in college at the University of Maryland. I am looking for someone who respects me as a person and who is understanding and caring. I would prefer to find someone who grew up in the United States or is a converted Muslim who is looking for a spouse. 

Since I was raised in the United States I feel that someone brought up in the United States would be a better match for me in terms of just getting along and understanding each other. My parents are from Bangladesh so I speak fluent Bengali and I know how to cook Bengali food and other foods from any country. I also speak English fluently since I was raised in the United States. 

I want to find someone who is religious and who wants to learn and take Islamic classes together with me. I like going to Al Maghrib classes and also I like listening to lectures in the masjid. I have to work a lot because I support my children mostly myself so I want to find someone who is supportive of my profession. I also want to find someone who can be part of our family and grow with us. 

I have my own business and medical practice and I am not really looking for someone to support me. It would be nice if they wanted to share or contribute but I really don't need help. I am alhamdulillah self sufficient on my own.
