This page will be about the Quran.
I remember 8th grade year, I wanted to actually try to be a better muslim of my own choice. So I decided to take charge of praying, dressing well, and seeking God's pleasure in a way I was comfortable with.
I remember that I tried to pray on time and pray well; to feel that light in my heart. I wanted the peace that everyone was talking about.
I tried to be nicer to people, dressed modestly, prayed, fasted, and practiced lowering my gaze.
I still felt empty. I wasn't sure what was wrong with me. I was supposed to be feeling that ''peace".
Summer after 8th grade, my Ramadan goal was to find out why I was not feeling that "peace".
I started reading the Quran regularly. I forced myself to try to understand and read the translation and transliteration.
All along I was missing the "key to happiness", the Quran. The words that could've soothed my heart. Despite everything else I was doing, I still needed the Quran

The Quran will always be there for you. Try to find a love for it. For, verily, with every hardship there is ease.
Salaam
