Moses’ Story in Quran Has ‘An Electrifying Impact’ on Hollywood Icon Will Smith
In an interview on the “Big Time Podcast” program, he said that he had completed reading the entire Quran during the holy month of Ramadan.
Smith revealed his deep connection to spirituality and inner contemplation during challenging periods.
He pointed out that he had been going through a difficult time over the past two years, which prompted him to search for his inner self. During this period, he read all the holy books, including the Holy Quran. “It was a period of my life when I wanted to expand my heart as much as possible so that I could embrace the largest number of people.”
Smith expressed profound admiration for the Quran’s simplicity and recounted how the narrative of Prophet Moses (AS) resonated deeply with him. He emphasized the seamless connection among divine scriptures, reflecting on their profound message. “I was amazed to go through plenty of references about Prophet Moses (may God be pleased with him) in the Holy Quran,” he said while noting that this is an interesting matter.
He said that the story of Prophet Moses (AS) had an electrifying impact on him. “I love the simplicity of the Quran as it is very simple and things in it are very clear, and so it is very easy to finish reading without any misunderstanding. I was surprised that everything seemed like one story... from the Torah to the Bible to the Quran,” he said while emphasizing that he did not have any comprehension about this seamless series before.
“The connection between these narrations was not broken,” he said while referring to the Abrahamic lineage, and how the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is the father, and from his descendants came the prophets Ismail and Ishaq. He said it was nice to see the integrated concept of it.
