Constantly seeking and being curious about everything in this world- because there-s so much to be curious about. That-s also where my childishness - childlike wonder comes from- because I can be quite childish. I-m also the eldest out of 4 brothers. Allah has taught me that storms don’t break you if you let Him anchor you. I’ve been through battles that stripped me down to nothing. Where it was just me and Him and what I found in the middle of all that was Allah’s nearness. He comes first. Period. That’s why my faith isn’t just “a part of me”- it’s the lens I see the world through- the center that keeps me sane- the spurce that keeps me alive. I’m drawn to the heart of Islam: tasawwuf-tazkiyah- the purification of the self-nafs-. It’s not about sounding deep or complicated but at leasr trying to live with ihsan- holding myself accountable- and keeping my heart soft no matter how hard the world gets. At the same time.. I’m not a shaykh lmao. I’m goofy- I laugh at dumb stupid memes-gen z humor-. I’ll make the most serious moment light just to see you smile. I’ve been told I can flip from “the calm- tested and tried- wise man” to “a dumbass kid who asks too many questions and laughs during inappropriate times” in the same breath and honestly- I think that’s my balance. Life is heavy enough- you need someone who can carry weight and still bring light. I love cooking -expect random Middle Eastern-Indian-Korean experiments in the kitchen-- late-night deep convos- and laughing with my best friend-hopefully you-. I’ll hype you up when you’re doubting yourself- cook you your favorite meal- and probably bug you at 2am with philosophical “what if” questions just to see how your brain works. Literally.
