== Biography ==
 
 
I'm not very smart, but I try to learn from my peers at AoPS. I have never really done well in a major math competition yet, and I have just finished grade nine. I have started to work intensely on olympiad level math in order to have a better chance of achieving my ambitious goals for the [[USAMO]] in 2007.
 
 
I'm also very involved with my religion. I'm a Muslim -- but not just any Muslim; I'm a member of the [http://www.alislam.org Ahmadiyya Muslim Community], which is greatly [http://www.thepersecution.org persecuted] by mainstream Muslims. This is because we have accepted [http://alislam.org/library/messiah.html Mirza Ghulam Ahmad] as the Promised Messiah and Reformer. Mainstream Muslims claim since the Holy Qur'an states that Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) was the "Seal of the Prophets", there can be no prophets after him. But why would God cease to send revelations to His creation? "Seal of the Prophets" means that Prophet Muhammad was the last prophet to bring a new law to the people. Reformers, like Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, can still come.
