In 2015, Lindsay Lohan was spotted by the paparazzi carrying a copy of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. In a later interview, Lohan says that the Quran was gifted to her by Arab friends living in London, who she said became her closest confidantes when she was going through her addiction issues. She also mentioned on Good Morning Britain with Piers Morgan that the version of the Quran she was holding had translation and that she was reading it in English as she "found solace" in it.
