			what is it? The power of reading? There you go. And I, when we were speaking previously, you
mentioned that your own daughter read about 500 books, Mashallah, that's a lot of books. I mean, you
mentioned from biographies to fictional books as well. So tell me what is the importance of the
power of reading? support, I think when you can read, what happens is I think you can take your
imagination, your creativity, your knowledge to another deeper level. And you can start to think of
things that usually you didn't know. And what has happened so often is that we,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:01:10
			you know, we let like everything else run us and tell us and all of our energy goes through all
these other ways of learning, which is not bad. But I think reading is the deep true level of
knowledge, how it can expand and make us and for us to feel something, there's like this feeling
that you get, when you read some words, instead of someone just telling you, I can tell you, you
know, every experience leads you to greatness, not great. But when you are on that page, and you're
at that moment, and you read it yourself, you something wakes up. And that's why I think the power
of reading is so vital. And of course, the power my children do. My daughter is five in about two
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:37
			years. I mean, who's eight upon in less than two years, she's read 500 books and why was because I
really wanted her to open her eyes to books and understandings. And she started with fiction
reading. And I think after about 200 books, she said, Mom, these are all fake. Where's the true
stories, or stories that really happened? I really want to see those. I want to read those. And
that's when you start reading biographies of different authors of you know, American civilization as
well as you know, the Muslims backgrounds and she just fell in love with that.
