A Little Bit About Me
I reach at my early 40's, exercise physiologists, nutritionists, and gerontologists now agree that during the decade of your 30's and 40's, men still have enormous potential for remaking their body structure, improving energy level and brain function, and transforming decades of bad habits into a healthier lifestyle that will prime them for smooth sailing the rest of their lives.
You believe it, too, otherwise you wouldn't be interested in taking control of your health. There could be any number of reasons why you suddenly decided that you want to get back into shape. Perhaps you signed up to coach your daughter's soccer team and quickly got winded when you took a lap with the team. Or perhaps you felt a tightness in your hamstring reaching down to tie your shoes and realized--smartly--that this was your body's first warning signal for a bit of needed change.
I went through emotional stress due to loss of my family. I asked Allah (God Almighty) to guide me and remove my emotional impediments because I truly believe in Him. His promise to mankind and a gift to prophet Mohammad (PBUH) at Meraj, the last verse in Sura Al Baqarah, 286. Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Suppor-ter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people." Few months after, I felt that my emotional stress was completely wiped out. My life has been very peaceful since then.
Few years back, I read a book: I Dare You! by William Danforth, the founder of the Ralston Purina Company." In the book Danforth challenges the reader to lead a life of balance represented by a box with four equal sides.
"Danforth's instructions called for drawing a square and labeling the sides with the four major components of our life: 'work,' 'family/social,' 'physical,' and 'spirituality,'" But when I plotted my life, it wasn't a square--it was a flat-line with only two ends. I saw the emotional distress were due to the lopsided imbalance in me….My work had become my escape from facing what was going on in my life." It was a very interesting book since Islam teaches those principles anyway which i had forgotten during my early life.
Some of my attributes:
Honesty – When I say honest I mean being honest about everything. If you are found out with one lie then the trust will dissappear and it will be hard to gain back.
To be able to protect – I am very goal oriented, and have the motivation to follow my dreams.
Reliability: Just like Japanese cars, soon it will be Chinese
Sense of humor: Spur of the moment
Respect – Respect is very high on my list. There’s no question of this, if you disrespect your partner may as well throw the relationship out of the window right now.
Attuned to feelings –I am very well attuned to peoples feelings. This is built in me
Faithful – You will never be respected once you’ve been unfaithful and there is absolutely no excuse for it.

What I Am Looking For
Men and women spend most of their lives trying to decipher the inner workings of the opposite sex. I am looking for somebody who is intellectually savvy, but not arrogant. A person who can laugh and joke and non myopic.
She should have great traits of a friend. Someone I look for trust in confidentiality, fun and lots of laughter. Someone who is a good listener and in return, I listen to her. Someone non judgmental, someone who cares for me even when the times are bad and even more when the times are great. One who is a true believer, one who has absolute faith in Allah.
