PEOPLE, especially students, can be observed squandering time watching movies, interacting on social media and other useless things during the lockdown and self-quarantine.

Since this is the holy month of Ramazan, parents, teachers and religious scholars should encourage the young generation to read the Holy Quran with its translations.

We can better our lives by reading the Quran which is a complete guide and teaches us Islamic values, morality and ethics.
