Amitabh Bachchan reads the Holy Quran

Mumbai: Indian legendary film superstar Amitabh Bachchan is reading the Islamic holy book, the Quran, nowadays. Amitabh Bachchan’s extended twitter family suggested him to read the holy Quran.
“A member of TwFmXt here asked me to read the Koran, for peace and tranquility, for the essence of life.. I did..” Amitabh revealed on his Twitter page.
The superstar even quoted a few verses from the holy book.
“God changes not what is in a people, until they change what is in themselves ” Koran ( 7th century ), Sura 13, v. 11” wrote the 69-year-old actor.
He later added another verse “Walk not on the earth exultantly, for thou canst not cleave the earth, neither shalt thou reach to the mountains in height- Koran.
However, when someone pointed out that the spelling of the holy book should be Quran, Amitabh Bachchan did not hesitate to apologize.
“Correction: QURAN and not KORAN!… however the book I was reading from had it as KORAN so I mentioned it so..apologies!!” the superstar wrote.

what is the use of reading quran when the person himeself is not a muslim.its like hearing one thing from one ear and taking it out from the other.
Alot of non muslims have embraced Islam after reading the holy quran. Lets hope the Big B also joins the list.
Taha Abbasi – that’s what the beauty of the message quran conveys, don’t forget there were sahabi like Hazrat Farooq (raa) used to read quran in disguise when he was non-muslim and gradually it did effect in his heart and alhamdulillah he became muslim.. reading is the first thing and then understanding it and then Allah will get your hearts inclined towards it if He wills as He sees the true/pure intention…
Good to know that people are slowly inclined towards the ‘truth’, no doubt “falsehood will vanish and truth will come as falsehood as bound to vanish”
mr. taha abbasi–> this is the most absurdest commmmment I have ever read! I mean how many so-called muslims read Quran anyway? And don’t you think it is a good sign that a non-muslim is reading it by himself? Don’t you think it will enlighten him? may be he’ll convert as well..
Every Human being has the right to read and take guidelines form the Holy Quran. This Holy Book is for every one.
If we so called muslims never taks the guide line it is our fault.
God open the heart and eveys any non muslim at any times.
to critisde the Mr.Bachchan is totolly narrow mind, Shah Rukh is also So called muslim, but on the same rack he put The Holly Book Quran, and geeta.
Mr.Thaha Abbasi,
even umar r.a converted 2 islam by same way
Ofcourse reading the Holy Qur’an and accepting corrections from it is indeed a clear indication that success will surely be the outcome. Beside, Qur’an is a true guidance, a clear evidence that enable us see and distinguish between right and wrong! Its a straight path on which the truth is well established. A GUIDELINE INDEED!!! REMEMBER; LIGHT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DARKNESS…
Alhamdullillah, very good news, I pray to allah that he guides amitabh bachan to straight path.
May Allah SWT guide him and accept him.
Its a pity muslims make such remarks. Allah is All-Knowing and All-Guiding.
Alhamdulilah may Allah touched his heart to become a muslim,
mashallah….ALLAH is great…..
May Allah give him hidaya
may God bless him wid iman
Undoubtedly Quran is the only non-fabricated and final word of God. Even non-muslims entertain its aphorisms and workout its words. It’s welcomed by ‘ummat-e-muslimah’ that Amit G is having a transparent eye even at the age of 70 to recognise the rightousness and serenity. May Almighty imbibe in him the power to take and opt the Right avenue..

Alhamdullah, we should b proud that d Big B is getting tranqiulity 4m reading d Quran. To think he understands it n is even quoting it is a good sign. @Shaqeel as u so truthfully mentioned SRK n many others that donot even touch it talkless of quoting it or even learning something 4m it. Mr B I am proud to know The Quran is giving u meaning
first of all i would like to appreciate the effort of my brother who asked mr.Bachan to read the quran, well if ALMIGHTY ALLAH wills definately he will get hidaya our duty is to convey the message and leave the rest to ALLAH.
“It is He Who sends down manifest Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to His slave (Muhammad s.a.w.) that He may bring you out from darkness into light. And verily, Allâh is to you full of kindness, Most Merciful.” [Quran Surah Al-Hadid 57:9]
Qur’an leads people out of darkness into light. Darkness is all around us. So, What are you waiting for? Open It & “Iqra”, Read!
MAY ALLAH HELP AMITB BACHEN.AND MAKE HIM GOOD MUSLIM.
May allmighty show him the right path.
Allah J.J say dua hai k wo muslim ban jaiyai aor Eeman ki roshni say munawar ho jaiyai…….Islam Deen e Fitrat hai…….Rab say dua hai, won tamam ghair muslim k liyai k Allah J.J wonhan Eeman ki roshni ata karay aor Jis k nasseb mai Eeman na ho, To saray muslims ko won k shar say mehfooz rakhay…….Aameen

Dont fight or confuse someone by such trifle issues whether Quran or Koran. New entrants will be confused. Please note that both are just translation of the word Quran in Arabic which cant be pronounced by substitutind Q or K for actual pronunciation of ‘Kaff” in Arabic. Isint
We hope reading quran guides Big B to the right path like many many non muslims all around the world.
Allah Akhbar, may Allah make his heart flexible to accept the truth (islam)… Ameen
Definitely if ALLAH is happy wd him,ALLAH will consider him in the followers of this GREAT RELIGION…..
INSHALLAH THAY WILL ACCEPT THE ISLAM.
may Allah give hidayat to Amitab bacchan… Ameen ya Rabbul Alamin
Let’s pray for Big B’s finding the only true way.
It is Allah who guides a person to the right path. Amitabh is lucky that he is being shown the right path, now its upto him to walk towards it,
May Allah show us all the right path. EVen if we are Muslims, the point is to walk on the path of Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him, how many of us are doing that? I see that most comments are targetting Amitabh, but, let me tell you this, we all need guidance as much as Amitabh does, so pray that ALlah shows all of us the right path, including Mr Bachchan,
Allahu Akbar; its a payback time cos Allah s.w.a gave u everything that u ever wanted follow d foot Steps of stars such as loonist by accepting Islam may Allah s.w.a guide u to d right path but answer d call that will change ur life 4 good
As Salaam Aleikum to all my universal sisters & brothers & Shri Amitabh Bachchan. This is how we in India live. Mr. Amitabh Bachchan is the epitome of Indian’ness and humanism. We were a nation of Unity in Diversity…Now we are a nation of Unity in the face of all adversity. Ja Zak Allah. Jai Hind!
Amit’s experiment with the Quran was the subject of my discussion with friends in Delhi, last week. As interesting as the subject is, I feel it is an opportunity to remind ourselves that while non-muslims are peeping into Islam and discovering the light therein, we (muslims) are not truly taking advantage of the bounties (ni’imah) bestowed on us by Allah subhana wa ta’ala. I suggest we take deliberate steps IMMEDIATELY (today) to re-awaken ourselves. So, what additional steps will you take to improve yourself? Fast mondays and thursdays; thrice a month, once a month? Or simply resume any act of ibadat that you may have abandoned. May Allah continue to guide and protect us, ameen.
quraan is the book of guidance… one who reads by heart he surely be guided by his grace… n i pray that he 2 be guided d same…Aaamin!

Alhamdulillah may Allah unite him among the best [umma] muslim amin.
“Your Lord knows best what is in your hearts. If you are righteous, then He is Most-Forgiving for those who turn to Him in repentance.”
[Qur'an; 17:25]
I pray 4 to accept the peacefullness and right path of Islam
i hope that he won’t be like donkey carring some load of books. I mean if he really reads the holy Quran & follows what quran teaches he’ll definately accept it.
look at the miracle of the holy Quran.Even the non-muslims become embarrassed islam.If you have not a peace of mind if you are under tension and if you are not aware of the fact for which the human beings are created so pls dont waste time and recite the holy quran.
yeah its really a good news,but its not all about accepting Islam by some one,Allah give a chance to every person in this world to chose the right and accurate way of living and for guidance sent messangers and books,here the thing on which we should have focused is that what acutally we are in real,we born as a muslim but i think its not enough to get an opportunity to go to heaven we should more alot to do become a good muslim..it needs to change the mind set of whole muslim community in this globel village..
it is nice thing . actually quran is the such a gift from God.we all should have to recitie it and think upon it in shalla it will guide us on right path .
sohail quetta
dis very good news bachchan,and i think this is the begining of your success,for all you have achieved in life should please not go in vain.take example of people like micheal jackson,who realised the truth just when it was almost time for him to depart to his final destination,please think fast and act fact.may Allah guide you to the only true religion
