Why does reading the Quran make me feel so at peace?
Assalamu alaykum, everyone. I'm trying to understand why I feel such a deep bond with the Quran. Alhamdulillah, whenever I read it, a wave of calm and contentment washes over me-even though I only have a digital version and have never held a physical copy. Yet, this beautiful feeling persists. I'm from Venezuela, born into a Catholic household, but several years back I stepped away from that faith. I grew disillusioned with Catholicism for many reasons and never found ease in following any organized religion. Since walking away, I've actually felt better about my path. I've always been fascinated by Arab culture, and while diving into it, I stumbled upon the Quran. From the first recitation, I felt a unique closeness. I paused reading it about two years ago, and just recently, the urge to revisit it came back. SubhanAllah, that same special feeling returned. What is this sensation I experience? I never even felt this way while reading the Bible. I'm not in a place to embrace Islam right now, but there's something truly remarkable about this deen that touches my heart.
