Fārūq:  moral; one who distinguishes right from wrong.
 
On June 29th, 1981, by the grace of God, Nazir and Majeeda Ahmad ushered into the world a baby boy.  The fourth of now four children, they named him Farooq Ismail Ahmad.
     
Though born in Jamaica, Queens, I've lived most of my life in North Bellmore, Long Island...yes, I'm a Long Island boy.  I attended grammar school at Newbridge Road Elementary, then junior high at Grand Avenue. After graduating with honors from Wellington C. Mepham High School in 1999, I did my undergraduate studies at SUNY Stony Brook.  After receiving my B.S. in Biology, I graduated in 2003.  I took a year off and performed my Hajj.  It was no doubt the most amazing experience of my life, and if I get around to it, I might even post some of my journal entries from my time there.
 
I have an older brother and two older sisters, all of whom are married.  My brother, Khalid, is a pediatrician and is currently in Michigan.  He has three daughters, Hanaa, Naseeha, and Aaliya...no joke, they are three of the most beautiful nieces an uncle can ask for.  My eldest sister, Sarwat, lives in Chicago and has two boys, Haaris and Shariq (these little guys are just as cute as my nieces.)  My second eldest sister, Farhat still lives on the Island so I do get to see her from time to time.
 
I'm currently studying dentistry at New York University College of Dentistry.  Though the curriculum and workload are pretty intense, I really like it here.  I was always interested in dentistry since my junior year of college, when I began volunteering at the Stony Brook clinic.  During my year off I worked at a dental clinic, which gave me an even better perspective of how a dental practice is run.  God willing, in just a few more years I can add D.D.S. to the end of my name. :-)
 
In my spare time I enjoy watching movies and just chillaxing with my friends.  My favorite English films include: The Godfather (greatest film of all time), Braveheart, Gladiator, Legends of the Fall, American History X, Memento, Snatch, The Usual Suspects, Malcolm X, Goodfellas, et. al.
 
That's pretty much it for now, but if there's anything else you're "dying" to know about me, you can send me an IM at fiahmad01, or feel free to e-mail me at fiahmad@gmail.com.  :-)
