I used to read a lot of books when I was younger but with the increase of the business, studying and all that stuff in all their life, or when I get old as I think, I find it difficult to put time for these things to concentrate in. Even if I try to read these days, I just find it difficult to concentrate about the idea of the book that I am already spending time with. So, I’m going to say a book that I I used to read, I’m continuously reading, because I will go directly to the Quran. I think it makes my soul get relaxed, makes me pretty, it helps me to solve a lot of problems in life. It makes a lot of sense for what’s happening in my life. If it is a bad thing, the book told me to be patient and take time for resting and think quietly. And if there is a happy thing happening, it taught me to remember what we are going to do for the afterlife. And don’t spend much of my time just joy. I mean joy and entertainment and this stuff. I should make balance in my life between those things. And another, I can say an example when I pass through a difficult part or difficult period in my life when I get to be alone. But there is the Quran who said always that Allah is near to me, is next to me, is listening, is curing about me and I think that take me from this circumstance a situation as I say

I used to read a lot of books when I was younger, but with the increase of business, studying, and all that stuff in life, I find it difficult to put time into these things to concentrate. Even if I try to read these days, I just find it difficult to concentrate on the ideas of the book that I am spending time with. So, I'm going to mention a book that I used to read and am continuously reading, which is the Quran. I think it helps my soul relax, makes me feel better, and helps me solve a lot of problems in life. It makes a lot of sense for what's happening in my life. If something bad happens, the book tells me to be patient and take time to rest and think quietly. And if something happy happens, it teaches me to remember what we are going to do for the afterlife and not to spend too much time just in joy and entertainment. I should find a balance in my life between those things. Additionally, I can share an example from a difficult period in my life when I felt alone. The Quran reminds me that Allah is near to me, is next to me, is listening, and is caring about me. I think that helps me through this circumstance, as I mentioned.
