Gizmomiisa

Assalaamu alaykum- I-m "Gizmomiisa". I-m Nigerian and was born and raised in London. I-m a revert. I like writing- which I-m trying to stabilise as my main "career"- and I also work in schools for work. I enjoy learning new things- and striving for a balanced and healthy lifestyle and diet are important to me- especially now that I-m older. Regarding health- I think I have minor health issues like everyone which if not treated- of course- risks escalation. I hope to marry this year and complete half the Deen ameen. I-m never going to be perfect and still have a long way to go- but I believe in and try to act on daily improvement- insha-Allah. A healthy marriage to me involves us working together daily to improve on Deen- no matter how small- insha-Allah. Innovations are a big deal to me and insha-Allah I try my best to be wary of- and stay away from- them. Haven-t picked a school of thought but striving to adhere to the Qur-an and Sunnah are my main resources- alhamdulilah. A few scholars etc. that come to mind are Sheikh Assim Al-Hakim- Mohamed Hoblos and Omar Suleiman. A few more but just examples. Culture is beautiful and learning of and sharing languages and food- some customs etc.- are nice- but I draw the limit when it interferes with Islam -reminder to myself. 🤗 - Open communication is valuable- if I haven-t mentioned that already. I like to think I-m a simple person- and I-m at an age where living as simple and peaceful of a life are extremely important. I want and strive for my focus to be the Akhirah- so may my husband think the same. I-ve begun to realise a lot that comfort is a luxury- and at the same time- possibly too much comfort risks us forgetting our purpose- etc. I think for me- especially if I-m sharing a space with someone- standard comfort is important to help us in feeling positive and comfortable with each other. Comfort means a lot of things to people but for me- at the crunch- my comfort is cleanliness- organisation- functionality and calmness. I guess. I would prefer to live in London in the NW- West and maybe SW regions but Allah swt is the best of planners. Though it-s still preferred. I don-t think I am comfortable living outside of London if within the UK- due to personal experiences- but again maybe with the right person- insha-Allah this potentially can be reconsidered. I am open to abroad relocation perhaps from the onset of a year insha-Allah. I have a mom and two older sisters and they all also reverted alhamdulilah. I wouldn-t class myself at all as a materialistic person though I still like giving having nice things. I guess that-s it-s. Thanks for reading. JazakhaAllah khayr.
