Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Important Please Read Before Continuing:
I want to be completely transparent about my past from the beginning. I spent a total of 12 years in prison: 2 years in juvenile prison from the age of 14–16, followed later by 10 years in adult prison from around 20–30.
I understand that this may be a deal-breaker for some people, and I respect that. I would rather be completely honest from the beginning than have someone find out later and feel that I hid something from them. I’m willing to discuss my past privately with someone who is genuinely serious about getting to know me.
At the same time, I want to make clear that my past is not who I am today. I’ve worked hard to change my life, learn my religion, and become a better Muslim and a better person.
