Daily Prompt: Off the Shelf
Take a look at your bookcase. If you had enough free time, which book would be the first one you’d like to reread? Why?
There is one book which I have read many times over, but I still haven’t my fill of it. I started reading it as a child. As a teenager (without anyone telling me) I started reading its translation along with the original words of Arabic.
I have reread it every year of my life many times, always with translation. I feel I am a better person because of it. I have always sought guidance from it.
Every time I read it, I discover a new depth, and meaning to it. I have always found solace, peace, and comfort from it. If I am worried, and open its’ pages, the verse I see confirms to my need at the moment. It’s truly a book of miracles, and a guidance for all humanity.
My favorite book is Quran.

I should try to read an English translation. it never hurts to learn what our fellow man loves, especially when we find out we love many of the same things! Peace!
