Rashi never imagined leaving his small village. But when his father asked if he wanted to go with the imam to a distant hostel, he said the two words that would change everything:
"Why not?"
This is the story of a brave boy who traded the familiar dust of his home for the golden light of knowledge. From green rice fields to the company of great scholars, from a simple life to a world of learning—Rashi's journey is one of courage, family, and discovering the light within.

RASHID VC was born and raised in a small village where dreams often felt distant but hope was never lost. From a young age, he was drawn to the pursuit of knowledge—a passion ignited by his father's unwavering belief in him.
His own journey mirrors that of young Rashi in My First Step to Noor. Leaving his village to seek knowledge, he encountered great scholars, built lifelong friendships, and discovered the inner light that guides every sincere heart.
Today, RASHID VC is a passionate educator, storyteller, and advocate for children's education. He believes that every child, no matter where they come from, deserves the chance to find their own Noor.
He lives with his family and continues to write stories that inspire courage, faith, and the love of learning.
