Zakariya was a young man who lived a comfortable life financially. He was raised in a family that didn't place much emphasis on religion, and he himself was far from any form of religious commitment. He spent his free time traveling and enjoying leisure activities, always seeking pleasure and comfort. However, despite all these things, he always felt that something was missing in his life, as if there were an emptiness that nothing worldly could fill. One day, while going through some difficult circumstances in his life, Zakariya decided to search for a way to escape from his negative feelings. He started listening to religious lectures online, and one day he heard a speaker talk about the importance of the Quran and how it illuminates the believer's path and heals the heart. In that moment, he felt something different, and he decided to start reading the Quran carefully. After reading the Quran for the first time, Zakariya felt that he had found what he had been searching for. The verses he read spoke directly to his heart, as if they were meant for him. He began reading more and felt peace in every verse. He decided to change the direction of his life, moving away from his past habits and dedicating his time to learning and perfecting his Quran recitation. Zakariya began attending Tajweed lessons and reading the Quran beautifully. Gradually, he became known among his friends and colleagues for his remarkable voice and mastery of recitation. He participated in numerous local Quran competitions and achieved great success. His success wasn’t just in the competitions; he became an inspiration to everyone who knew him. Zakariya's story is a testimony to how returning to Allah and the Quran can be a real turning point in a person’s life, and how the Quran holds hope and peace for anyone who contemplates its meanings
