Books enhance the periphery of our knowledge

Books develop the latent genius of human beings. To be an eminent person, it is essential to keep in touch with books. A creative writer expresses his inherent thoughts through writing. The greatest wealth of a human being is books, which cannot be compared with any worldly wealth. One day all terrestrial wealth will be lost, but the knowledge acquired from an enlightened book is endless; rather, it will illuminate the light of wisdom forever. 


The first letter of the holy Quran is ‘Iqra,’ which means read. Emphasis on reading is given here first. A mode of reading is a book. Just by reading a few selective books on the syllabus and achieving an institutional degree, you cannot acquire proper knowledge. Rather, one should read various types of books to acquire versatile talent and enhance the scope of diverse knowledge. There is no limit to books or time for acquiring knowledge. There is a saying that you acquire knowledge from cradle to grave.

Litterateurs and writers engage their whole knowledge in books. It is possible to acquire knowledge only by reading their books. The future of the country and nation will remain safe to book lovers. It is very surprising that children and jubilant are growing up enjoying the internet and social media. Which way is the future of the country and the nation going?

Where are those people now who dedicated themselves to reading books, embraced sleep while reading, and again started reading after waking from sleep, collecting books beneath their pillows? Where is their ideology? So, have we been able to become their real successors? Those who know themselves as renowned writers, have we been able to become good readers like our former illustrious writers?

What is even more surprising is that those who do not read a single page in a day are writing big columns on social media. On the other hand, many book lovers who have a fascination with social media are accustomed to reading their reviews. It is a matter of big loss. If you want to gain knowledge then there is no alternative to reading books. All the wisdom of the world is hidden inside books. So, one must read books to step into the kingdom of sagacity. You have to read books if you want to know yourself and the world. Moreover, those who want to be great need to read more and more books. Keep in mind that the more books you read, the better. A book not only provides information but also creates a ground for questions and teaches us to think in a new way. One can float in the sea of wisdom if one can make him book warm. He can be a milestone for all.

There is a different charm in reading books. I regret to say that reading habits are being deteriorated day by day in today’s information and technological era. Our reading habits almost turn into mechanical means. There is no space for paper books in the age of information and technology. Someone said that reading is important. What is the need for the touch or smell of books? But they do not know that the charm of reading books lies in their smell. A writer said, "The interest in reading original books has been lost after e-books and e-papers of national dailies have come out. Many people only read e-books and PDFs." In this context, my opinion is that true book lovers do not get the same feelings from reading e-books as they do from paper books. Books are such materials that can be embellished after reading. Books can be read generation after generation. Those who are authors express their vast experience of long days on every page of a book, and we get the opportunity to enrich ourselves by being enlightened by that knowledge. So, please let us read and love books.
