So my request to all the Muslim brothers and sisters, you go back to the Quran, study the Quran. Quran is the most positive book in the world. It's a proclamation to humanity. It's a fountain of mercy and wisdom. It's a warning to the heedless. It's a guide to the airing. It's an assurance to those in doubt. It's a solution to the suffering and the hope to those in despair. You can get all these benefits only if you read the Quran with understanding. If you don't know Arabic, read the translation of the Quran in the language you understand the best implemented inshallah. It will be a guidance for you for your full life. And you see a life change. Hope that answers the question.
