About Me
Ethically, my soul is devoted to my everkind Holy Creator Subhanahu Taala and His Holy Light Beloved Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam. I strive to lead my life based on religious and humanitarian values, following the path of all the holy leaders of mankind — especially Ahl-e-Rasul Imam-e-Akber Alaihimus Salam, who sacrificed his life and family in Karbala for the sake of all humanity. I love to visit naturally beautiful places that reflect the signs of divine creation, and I find deep inspiration in exploring the inner self and the mysteries beyond the sky. My heart seeks truth, beauty, and wisdom — both in this world and beyond.
