FREEDOM FOR PALESTINE! END THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION

I am here for Friends

About Me

If you ask me who I am I will say that Bahiyyah can not be defined and that I don’t fit neatly into any one category. I have the sun kissed skin like that of a Nubian princess, the spirit of an Arab and a mind that is fascinated by Science; be it Biology, Chemistry, Physics etc. I love international politics and if i were to have a career other than one in the medical field, I would be a Journalist. I come from an American Muslim family on my fathers side and I am a Muslim woman before anything else. I hate religious extremism because Islam is not difficult but yet some make it so and then attempt to force this on others. I don’t tolerate this when it concerns me so if you are one who likes to “preach” that this is haram and that is haram then don’t waste my time or yours because you will find that I don’t have much patience with foolishness and I assure you that I know who I am so use that energy to better your own self because you will get no where with me:) I love learning about other cultures especially Asian cultures and Chinese in particular. I have four absolutely beautiful and amazing Moroccan daughters with my ex- husband who is and always will remain my best friend. My daughters live in Morocco with our family on their fathers side (their father and i live here in the States).It has been such a blessing and a mercy from Allah to have the opportunity for our babies to spend their childhood and the most important developmental years of their life in a Muslim country(and one in which their family history is deeply rooted) surrounded by a loving family who wants them to grow up in a clean enviornment with a strong identity and strong Islamic values and morals, as well as a good education(both formal and informal) just as much as their father and I do. While at times it has been emotionally hard on both my ex husband and I, when ever we talk to my little love muffins or visit them we are sure that this was the best decision that we could have made for them. I take much pride in hearing them recite Quran and in seeing how truly intelligent, happy, loved and well rounded these little ladies are. In a couple of years we plan to start bringing them to the USA for summer vacations so i am looking forward to that. They only speak Arabic right now, which is their native language and they also can speak French and Zainab speaks a little bit of Berber. MOST of the Arabic that i know i learned from them and believe me they are the best and most patient of teachers :-) I visit Morocco at least twice a year and no other place can replace it in my heart. I am a true American Moroccan :-) I am a college student majoring in Health Sciences and I am passionate about anything that has to do with the study of medicine. I work at a rehab for people who have sustained a traumatic brain injury and i am currently in the process of applying to Graduate school so that i can earn my Masters degree in Physician Assistant Studies; but i have not totally ruled out the possibility of going to Medical School. I love Eastern Philosophies and I consider myself a student of Feng Shui. To all of the guys who request an add, please lets keep this thing friendly, i am single partly because i have chosen to be :-) And if i request an add that just means that i found something about you interesting, no more and no less :-)So in closing, I pray to the one who created me to give me knowledge and wisdom so that I may have something of value to pass on to my children and they to their children and so it is! BAHIYYAH.................................................... ...................................................... ............................................................ .......................................................... ........."I have four kinds of days:(1) A day when I go out and meet someone more knowledgeable than me, so I learn from him, and that is the day of my benefit and profit.(2) A day when I go out and meet someone less knowledgeable than me, so I teach him, and that the day of my reward.(3) A day when I go out and meet someone like me and I study and review with him, and that is the day of my lesson.(4) A day when I go out and meet someone below my level but he sees himself as being above my level, so I don't talk to him, and I make that the day for my rest."XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX Morocco
