Religious practice

Salam, This shouldn't be broadcasted to the world but Alhamdolilah I follow the religious tenets to the best of my abilities. Hopefully it suffices to say that Islam has and does play a pivotal role in my life. Just like everyone else though, i am a work in progress! It's very important to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and not be ashamed of what you see (beyond the physical as well). I work as an "Innovator- Brand/Product Manager" in a Perfume company (enjoy my job - it can be very interesting!), I earn Halal money. I haven't/won't compromise on that.

My partner preferences

If you don't value loyalty, honesty and engaging conversations ... then we are probably not a right match for each other. Would be great if you love 'discovering', are creatively inclined, are passionate about something (anything!) and have a sense of humor. We all make quite a few checklists of 'must haves' and 'preferred' qualities... but as can be seen in the world around us... a lot of times even when one has checked all of those.... that doesn't guarantee a 'successful' marriage. Thus if you're an Alien (who speaks English preferably) then a conversation surely couldn't do any harm! :)

More about me

I have been raised in the U.A.E, educated (university) in New York, and currently work as an Innovator - Brand/Product manager, at one of the top Perfume and Personal Care companies here in the U.A.E. I had also started an e-commerce Art business but it took a back seat after my father passed away over a year ago. Hope to restart that in the near future. I live on my own and alhamdolilah although i am quite self sufficient, i would love nothing more than to have a partner/family of my own living together. I have a young daughter, but she lives with her mother thousands of miles away. I would rather not expand on that on an open internet platform, but if you have any queries whatsoever, you will receive nothing short of the truth, insha Allah. I am an absolute 'pluviophile' (i find peace and joy when it rains) and the sound of the waves! :) ... A good cup of tea is a must though! :) Alhamdolilah, i have traveled extensively (experiencing "The Northern Lights" - remains on my bucket list!), and thus can relate to people from all walks of life. I have seen/experienced the 'good life', and the 'not so good' life, thus feel comfortable in any environment/situation. If any of the above resonates with you.. get in touch... a decent virtual conversation with a cup of tea... isn't really too bad as a 'worse case scenario' :) Will end this with a quote from Rumi : "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it"
