The book that changed my perspective is the Holy Book, the Quran. The book is about the religious activities that God has prescribed, why God has created us, and what the purpose of our life is in this world. From a young age, we learn to read the Quran, and every day, every single month, we try to read it to gain extensive knowledge. My perspective before reading that book was that I was not a religious person and I considered myself a major sinner. After reading the Quran, my life changed completely, 180 degrees. I clarified my mind about why God has brought us to earth. It transformed my views and perspective about the world, about people, and about everything in particular. It really changed my perspective on the importance of being kind to the younger generation and giving respect and tribute to our elders. The book that changed me, or I would say blew me away, is the realization that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given us complete guidance for our entire life on how to live it, whether in accordance with the will of God or against it. When you read the Quran, it completely changes your viewpoint on the whole dilemma and the entire purpose of life. I feel completely confident and renewed in terms of everything, including how to deal with anyone and how to approach life.
