The object I chose to write about is the Quran, the holy book of Islam. It belongs to the category of Religion, but to me, it is much more than just a religious book, it is a guide for life, a source of comfort, and a strong part of my identity.  I was first introduced to the Quran by my parents and elders. They taught me how to hold it with respect, how to recite it properly, and how to understand its importance in daily life. Their guidance helped me see that the Quran is not just something to read, it is something to live by.  The Quran also connects me deeply to my identity and culture as a Muslim. It shapes my values and beliefs, influences our traditions and language, and helps guide how I treat others. From a young age, its teachings have helped me understand right from wrong and given me a sense of belonging to a larger community. I hope that in the future, I can share this same respect and understanding with my children. I want to teach them to appreciate the Quran's intelligence and how important it is to so many people. I want them to understand its teachings and learn from its guidance, just as I have.
