A Little Bit About Me
Just a normal guy interested in tariqa. Would be interested to just connect with people at this point really.
I have a son called Logan who just recently turned two, any potential partner would have to be ok with him, that's a non negatable must.
I'm a recent revert, my journey to Islam has been a long and winding road, I did have an interest a number of years ago that ultimately did not amount to anything at the time, for various reasons.
The difficult stuff out of the way, as stated in my profile, or to be specific, I suffer with a mood disorder, which is controlled my the medication I take for this condition. If that's something that would be an issue for you, pass on to the next profile, it's a reality of my situation.
Music wise, I tend to stick to classical and some Jazz these days. I've listened to a wide range of music in my life, and think anyone with a serious interest in listening will evolve to listening to either classical or Jazz. If asked for a favourite, I'd have to say listen to Mozart Don Giovanni Commendatore, a truly awesome section of music with an amazing story too. I play a little bass guitar, as as such the Jazz artists I listen to tend to lead on this instrument, Jaco Pastorius, (If you have NetFlix check out Jaco) and John Patitucci. This Aside Cat Stevens is still on the playlist, just has to be.
I'm a big guy, something I would like to do something about, for myself, and for inshallah longevity for the sake of my son, if this bothers you, pass on to the next profile.
Oh, and I'm a cat person, I have two, a queen called Mooshkins and her not so much kitten anymore Pooh. Cat lovers welcomed :)
Looking at everyone's levels of education and occupations here I feel compelled to explain my situation in somewhat more depth. I attended a computing degree after doing my A levels which I dropped out of for reasons I will go into if asked. Later in life, while struggling with the acute phase of my illness I attended a science access course, which I passed to a high standard and commenced study on a cancer biology degree, which was sadly ended by stresses causing my illness to move into the acute phase once again. I have also studied approximately seven months of a law degree at the OU, and was thinking of returning to study with the OU, however the Shaykh I followed advised against it, so that's that.
I have worked at various roles in my life, from factory work, working with window fitters, some joinery to flight servicing aircraft. When I feel the time is correct I would like to return to work, however at the moment we're all in the middle of a pandemic, I would like a greater degree of stability and need to select a suitable direction in which to apply myself. I feel something of a more practical nature would be more suitable for me now, I have some welding skills so that is something I would like to look into to see what possibilities there are with that, with respects to obtaining official training and qualifications.

What I Am Looking For
I'm fine with the idea of friendship at this point in life, with a view something more developing inshallah. My primary aim at the moment is to develop my Iman while inshallah dealing with what I can of my nafs, if someone with an interest in doing the same would like to walk along the same path with me, message away, be that someone who would like to walk in only friendship, or possibly more.
I won't consider intimacy outside of marriage, Holy Quran is quite clear on this matter, if that's something you're looking for, pass on by to the next profile.
How you look does not matter to me, who you are matters. If you're someone who would want to base a connection on looks, if you find the way I look acceptable or not, please, pass on by to the next profile, we are not suited.
This might sound a bit daft on a Islamic site, but I'm looking for someone the actually believes, that what is talked of in The Holy Quran, all of it, is a reality for you. How that reality presents itself to you, I don't expect nor need to be a match with what I do, that's part of the journey.
I am looking for someone with a love of Allah and his Prophet, a lover of Rumi and shams of tabriz, as the love that is growing in me for Muhammed(PBUH) is most easily explained or rendered more assessable by the intoxication Rumi talks of, but in the vain of his saying “I am the servant of the Qur'an as long as I have life. I am the dust on the path of Muhammad, the Chosen One.” That's not where I am now, but where I would like to be. To Truly love Allah and his prophet, and to inshallah with help and guidance become a man who is to the best I am able living a life which would draw me near to Allah and the seal of the prophets.
