Practising muslim who follows a moderate & balanced path of islam, prolific reader & able to engage on a wide spectrum of topics, nature lover & ardent hiker who prefers to be overwhelmed by mountains, forests & even deserts, rather then roaming around in cities - what better environment to be drowned in to reflect the existence & omnipresence of that 'ALL POWERFUL REALITY" than when engulfed by the beautiful & majestic surroundings of HIS creation.
I am fiercely loyal to those close to me & strive as far as possible to be fair & just in my dealings with those i interact with on a daily basis. I am definitely not scared to own up & apologise if i had made a mistake. Very passionate about architecture, building & woodworking & have a special interest in environmental affairs. As a rational thinker & problem solver i do not allow myself to be manipulated, steam rolled or bullied intellectually or otherwise.
The realisation which dawned upon me a long time ago ... i am the type of personality that is forever seeking, checking, cross referencing & asking if i am not convinced of something ... that all women .. does not matter who they are .. whether rich or poor, black or white, muslim or non-muslim , etc ... all of them
enjoy a phenomenal status in the realm of the islamic perspective !!
They are indeed the mothers of humanity !!
In one of many utterances the prophet of islam articulated that " paradise lies at the feet of thy mothers" & the divine instruction to us - the males of this world concerning our women - that we shall respect, revere, treat them with kindness, compassion, mercy etc !!!
I also believe in the inherent goodness of all people & in the universal principles of basic morality & values applicable to all humanity !!
I take extreme exception to any type & in whatever form of prejudices, oppression racism etc. So please keep your distance if you regard yourself as being better or different from other human beings by virtue of skin pigmentation, belonging to a certain race or group, not coming from the same locality - be it village, town country - or having studied at or obtained a qualification from a particular institution !!!
My philosophy regarding this ... all these paraphernalia does not make the personality , but rather, " man needs to exert himself in striving to become somebody in the eyes of others in order to leave behind a legacy of substance " !!
