Hi my name is Abdul Salam. I am a Sunni/Sufi Muslim from Chicago, IL(born and raised). I am 26 years old, looking to getting married(at least Nikah) by the end of 2021. InshaaAllah. 

I am caring, kind, soft spoken, charismatic, humble, possess good humor,  and, down to earth guy. 
 I love a good laugh and I love to make those around me to laugh/smile as well. 

I am a practicing Muslim who is not conservative. I believe that everyone should at least know the basic concepts of Islam and act upon it. I am also Sufi so I attend weekly Zhikr gatherings to remember the most high. I celebrate the mawlid as well.

I really keep a balance in my deen and dunya. When it is time to practicing the religion I do. In addition, when it is time to have fun I do that as well. I know my boundaries. I love hanging out with friends, going to the movies, comedy clubs, going to weddings, traveling, amusement parks, etc. 

I really have three interests. One is learning the Arabic language, learning more about the religion, and cyber security. 

My hobbies are basketball, running, weight lifting, ice skating, and photography. I want to make traveling a hobby after marriage with my wife. 

My current occupation is that I am a IT professional for the United States Courts. I have recently attained my master's degree in cyber security. I am a career oriented person always trying to make myself better within my profession. The number one thing I do to do this is study and take certification exams. 

My future goals are to buy a house with my wife. Perform Hajj in the first two years of marriage. Get involved in some kind of community work. So we can make a change in this world. 

What am I looking for:

I am looking for a girl who is also Sunni/Sufi Muslim. I would just like a wife who knows and practices the basics of Islam. I am not looking to marry someone who is super religious, in addition, conservative. If my wife is a Sufi that is fine(not a conservative Sufi that wants to start arguments with people who do not follow the Sufi way). However, if she does not practice that is totally fine too. She just has to accept the practice. Like celebrating the Mawlid and honoring the righteous men and women of Allah(not worship them).  Most important she needs to have the love of the Holy Prophet embedded into her. 

Like me I would like her balanced in both deen and dunya. She understands the values of fulfilling religious requirements and having fun at the same time. In addition, I would like her to do hijiab. I do not mind western style of dress as long as if it is modest clothing. 

I would like my wife to be from the age of 22-25. Someone who was born and raised in America. Preferably Indian or Pakistani. However, I am open to any kind of ethnicity. 

Furthermore, I would like a wife who is educated. In addition, someone who holds a professional position in the workforce.  

I want my wife to be joyful, kind, compassionate, caring, funny, and adventurous, Someone I can turn to when and need, who can advise me when my judgement is cloud. In addition, I want her to be someone who will bring people together. I would like whenever she walks into the room it lights up with her smile!
