As he reads, he doesn’t find spells or rituals. He finds Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112): “Say, He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.”

If you’ve spent any time in the darker corners of anime Twitter or Reddit, you might have stumbled upon a strange, intriguing concept: Dio Brando reading the Quran.

Dio wanted to achieve Heaven by conquering his fear. He says, “Peace of mind… is the result of a resolved mind. That is what ‘Heaven’ means to me.”

Because the Quran offers exactly what Dio wants (peace, eternity, Heaven), but it requires the one thing he refuses to give: surrender.

And maybe, just maybe, it’s a reminder that true strength isn’t stopping time. It’s knowing when to kneel. What do you think? Would Dio respect the structure of Islam, or would he see it as another thing to conquer? Let us know in the comments below.
