The book that truly challenged my thinking was the Quran. As a Muslim, it's our holy book, and my parents encouraged me to learn it from a young age. I found a teacher and was fascinated by it from the very beginning. The Quran's teachings were incredibly convincing, and they made me question the very essence of my existence. I started asking myself, 'What is the purpose of my life as a human being when others are dying and we seem indifferent?' The Quran helped me understand the importance of selfless service and why we shouldn't be selfish. Reading it brought me a sense of peace and fulfillment, like I was cleansing my soul and gaining valuable knowledge. It was a truly enriching experience that continues to shape my perspective.
