As-Salaamu Alakium,

I am Mr. Abdul-Haleem Raqeeb. As a man, a father, a son, a grandson, brother, cousin, nephew, friend, human being, Muslim… I stand on certain ethics and morals. My past can only help me moving forward. Everyday a lesson is to be learned and everyday progress is to be made. The things that I pray for is a better relationship with my 3 kids, a wife who understands me and who I understand as well, peace, patience, obedience, restraint, faith, hope, love and happiness. These are the things that make life good. One day soon Insha’Allah Ill have these things in my life. Its a struggle everyday to wake up in a place where you have no liberty. But you have to be strong and have a strong will to fight through the trying times. Just knowing that there will be better days Insha’Allah is something beautiful to look forward to. Looking forward to seeing the smiles and love my kids will have. Looking forward to a beautiful woman that I can call my wife and wake up to and go to sleep to everyday and night. Looking forward to making a difference in the lives of the people that will be around me and those who are away. Life is what you make it to be and Im trying everyday to make every second of this time in here and out there count for something. To my beautiful daughters and handsome son… I love and miss yall and Insha’Allah Ill be with you sooner than later!!! Be safe and stay beautiful out there!!!

As-Salaamu Alaikim!!
