'You' Star Penn Badgley Reads Quran to Meditate

Netflix's 'You' star Penn Badgley recently shared in an interview with USA Today that he reads the Quran for meditation.

The final and fifth season of 'You' was released in April and Badgley bids goodbye to his character Joe Goldberg. 

In the interview, Badgley was asked about what he is currently reading. The 38-year-old actor said, "Honestly, on my nightstand I have the Quran, which sometimes I'll meditate on a passage from."

The Quran is the holy book of Islam, believed by Muslims to be the literal word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel.

Written in Arabic, it is composed of 114 chapters, known as surahs, covering guidance on faith, worship, morality, and law.

The Quran emphasizes themes of compassion, justice, and the oneness of God, while also recounting stories of earlier prophets such as Moses, Abraham, and Jesus.

It is recited and memorized by millions around the world, serving not only as a spiritual guide but also as a source of inspiration, reflection, and daily practice for Muslims.
