Renowned Hollywood actor Will Smith, who boasts an Oscar in his accolades, recently opened up about his profound spiritual journey and the solace he found in reading the Quran during a challenging phase over the past two years.

In a recent interview, the 55-year-old multifaceted artist expressed his affinity for spirituality, citing the tumultuous nature of the preceding years as a catalyst for introspection. During this period, Smith delved into various religious texts, including the Quran, seeking solace and understanding.

Detailing his immersive experience, Smith revealed, “I embarked on a journey through the pages of the Quran, absorbing its teachings from cover to cover, particularly during the month of Ramadan this year.” His quest for enlightenment led him to appreciate the Quran's simplicity and clarity, which resonated deeply with him, facilitating a seamless comprehension of its contents.

One aspect that particularly resonated with Smith was the recurring narratives of Prophet Moses, which he found profoundly moving. Reflecting on the interconnectedness of religious scriptures, Smith noted the seamless continuity from the Torah through the Bible to the Quran, underscoring the enduring connection between them.

Drawing from his spiritual insights, Smith discussed his approach to parenting, emphasizing the ongoing nature of guiding and supporting his children, even as they transition into adulthood.

He believes that understanding this concept helps him guide his children, as they will ultimately be accountable for their actions.

Smith also expressed his admiration for Saudi Arabia, mentioning his visits to the NEOM project, Jeddah, and Riyadh. He expressed a sense of belonging and enjoyment during his visits, indicating a deep appreciation for the country and its culture.

Did he read it in the original Arabic, or the westernised version (that I hear is toned down on some controversial subjects)?

If he assimilates even 1% of the Quran, Jada would be getting divorce papers before June.
