KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today extended Nuzul Quran greetings to all Malaysians.
In a Facebook post, Anwar reminded Muslims to internalise teachings in the Quran (tadabbur) and seek God’s forgiveness during this blessed month of Ramadan.
“May God bless us with the opportunity to experience Lailatul Qadr, a night greater than a thousand months.
“Praise be to God, on this blessed day, we have the opportunity to collectively commemorate Nuzul Quran, marking the moment the first revelation was bestowed upon Prophet Muhammad in the Cave of Hira,” he said.
Anwar said the first revelation, iqra (read), marked the beginning of an age of knowledge, and served as a beacon for justice and kindness to elevate human dignity.
He added that the Quran guides the righteous, and only those who observe Ramadan with unwavering faith and sincerity will attain the true essence of piety.
Nuzul Quran marks the moment the first verse of the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad in the Cave of Hira, Makkah.
