Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Actor Will Smith said he had finished the Qur’an. He read 30 juz and was fascinated by how clear the content of the Qur’an was.
“I love its simplicity,” said Will Smith when talking with Amr Adib on the BigTimePodcast some time ago.

“The Koran is clear, very clear. It is difficult to solve it with misunderstandings,” he said about the Koran. “The soul (of the Koran) is very beautiful and clear in my opinion.”
Will Smith admits that he doesn’t only read the Koran. The actor who plays The Pursuit of Happyness has previously read the Torah and Bible.
After reading these books, Will Smith was surprised how the three of them turned out to be continuous.
“I’ve read all the holy books, like from Abraham. I was very surprised how everything felt like one story, from the Torah, to the Bible, to the Koran,” said Will Smith.
“I never understood the lines and this is the first time I’ve seen them,” he added. “It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to gain that complete understanding.”
Apart from that, Will Smith expressed other admiration for the Koran. He said that this was the first time he knew that the Prophet Musa (as) was often mentioned in the holy book.
“I wish I had known beforehand how many Moses references there were,” he said.
“I feel connect with Musa and the experience experienced by Musa,” he continued without further explaining the experience he meant.
Based on the Saudi Gazette report, Will Smith admitted that he had experienced difficult times over the last two years. Therefore, he tried to know himself better.
This search process led him to read the Koran and other holy books.
“It was a period of my life when I wanted to expand my heart as wide as possible so that I could reach more people,” he said.
On the other hand, Will Smith also admitted his admiration for Saudi Arabia so much that he feels at home going back and forth to that country.
“This is the third time I have visited Saudi Arabia. I have visited the city of Jeddah, toured for the NEOM project, and visited Riyadh twice,” he said.
“I feel a sense of belonging and I like life here,” concluded Will Smith.
