Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the Quran was more than just a reading, as it served as a guide (hudan), a distinction between right and wrong (furqan), and a source of mercy and healing (syifa') for those who appreciated it.
"Let us take a lesson from the Nuzul Quran event and make the Quran our guide in life.
"In this era of rapid information and global advancement, it is essential for us to return to the Quran as our ultimate foundation, which remains evergreen and relevant across time," he said.
Nuzul Quran marks the revelation of the first verse of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad SAW when he was 41 years old, on Friday night, 17 Ramadan, in the Cave of Hira, Makkah. - Bernama
