Following a difficult time in the previous two years, Oscar-winning Hollywood actor Will Smith talked about his spiritual connection and his experience reading the Quran.
In a recent interview, this was said. The 55-year-old rapper declared, "I love spirituality," adding that his challenging last two years had forced him to reflect on his inner self.
He emphasized that he read every sacred text, including the Quran, during that time.
"I read the Quran from cover to cover during the month of Ramazan this year," he continued.
In order to accommodate as many individuals as possible, Smith said, "At this point, I am trying to expand my heart as much as possible."
The Holy Quran frequently mentions Prophet Moses, which astounded Will Smith, who also found his tales to be incredibly moving.
"I appreciate the Quran's simplicity because it is easy to read through without encountering any misunderstandings because it is very clear and straightforward."
"I read all the sacred texts, and I was shocked to discover that everything is like one story—from the Torah to the Bible to the Quran, the thread connecting them was unbroken," he went on.
Smith discussed the Abrahamic ancestry, stating that the Prophet Ibrahim is the patriarch and that the Prophets Ismail and Ishaq descended from him.
Smith says the Quran helps him raise his children.
The American actor Will Smith responded, "My youngest son is now 23 years old, and yet I am still working on raising them," when asked how he raises his kids.
"I mistakenly believed that parenthood would stop at age 21, but it has only just started. My children are all in their twenties, with the exception of the oldest, who is thirty-one.
They now require guidance and assistance more than ever as their relationships have grown more committed.
"They visit my home every day, so I see them frequently to give them advice when they need it, and as a result, I raise them continuously."
He highlights the significance of the Qur'anic idea that "every soul is responsible for itself," which he feels aids in understanding and parenting his children because in the end, they will be accountable to themselves.
Smith went on to say that when they were younger, reading the Quran helped him to become a partner in their life rather than someone who was in charge of them. It also relieved him of his anxieties.
Smith professed his affection for Saudi Arabia as well. "This was my third journey to Saudi Arabia; I visited the NEOM project, toured Jeddah, and traveled to Riyadh twice. I feel like I belong here and I enjoy my life here.
